Friday 15th April was the first of the 2 day VQS National Final event at Manly Beach. The sun was shining, the kids were going wild with the free give aways and the surf was ... dribble. Blue skies and young screams from the joyous children kept everyone in high spirits! The surf was small and the competition hot as big prizes were at stake. With a forecast of better swell size for the final day everyone was battling to make it through the first few rounds.
Saturday 16th April, the quarters, semis and final of each division took place. The torrential rain and strong winds uninvitedly came along with the much wanted swell size and made it difficult to watch let alone surf. In the wet and cold, smiles and the popcorn machine pushed us through the uncomfortable attendance and yet another successful VQS tour came to an end. Ripping Avalon superstar, Ali Kelly took out the chikibabes division! Stoked!
