Saturday 2nd February 2013
The
fourth and final event of this seasons Schick Hydro Ocean Thunder has today
been run in huge seas on Sydney's Dee Why Beach.
Whilst
building conditions eventually forced the cancellation of the Women's
racing and Young Guns exhibition events, Australia's elite level Men's
crews provided a spectacle to behold for the many thousands of spectators
lining the beach in driving rain.
Series
leaders Brett's Hardware (Currumbin) claimed the day with a remarkable four out
of a possible four wins in very challenging conditions. Two time Australian and
former Ocean Thunder Champions Dial Before You Dig (Mona Vale) finished second
with Dial Before You Dig (Moruya) making their first podium finish of the
season in third place ahead of Enware Australia (Elouera) in fourth.
Crews
to make the coveted top ten included Jac Oars (Austinmer), ColorTile (North
Steyne), Starrett (Batemans Bay), Trayd Pools (North Cronulla), Financial
Decisions (Mona Vale) and Capricorn Roofing (Mooloolaba).
The
Ken Murray Cup, which is awarded to the Men's series cumulative pointscore
winner was won by Brett's Hardware (Currumbin) who finished the four event
series with a remarkable three wins and one second, three wins all in vastly
different conditions proving their undisputed dominance over this very hot
field.
The
Don McManus Trophy, which is awarded to the Women's series cumulative
pointscore winner has left the Northern Beaches of Sydney for the first time
and headed west to John Roberts Foundation (North Cottesloe) based on the
series results to event three.
Event
four of the Schick Hydro Ocean Thunder Pro Surfboat Series can be seen on
