Ocean Thunder - Results Round 2 |
|
 DECEMBER 15, 2007: There were thrills and spills galore when the cream of Australia’s professional surf boat crews conquered treacherous conditions at Sydney’s Dee Why Beach today (Saturday).
The surf was that rough that Warringah Shire Council lifeguards closed the beach to the general public.
But it did not deter the 24 men’s and 12 women’s elite surf boat crews contesting the second round of the $100,000 Evive Ocean Thunder Pro Surf Boat Series.
There were spectacular wipe outs and roll-overs with Chris Fleming’s Manly Aluminum Windows (South Curl Curl) crew failing to negotiate the heavy seas in a spectacular women’s final.
Earlier in the day the Gavin Hunt swept Dial Before Your Dig (Moruya) crew nose-dived into the Dee Why sandbank in another “ouch” moment that thrilled the large crowd who packed the beach for an action-packed afternoon.
The double-race men’s final was a classic confrontation of six boats against the elements with the conditions favouring those crews drawn at the southern end – Skilled (Avoca) and Your Style (North Curl Curl).

Surfboat News
Surf life saving is no longer the male dominated sport it once was – except in one discipline.
When the sweeps stand up on the stern of a surf boat, they might be young or they may be old and grizzled, but they’re nearly always men. |
