A Whole Lotta Yewing Goin' On In Noosa

I was lucky enough to cruise up to Noosa this past wkd. The whole 4 days it was hot & sunny, then humid & heavy rain- Repeat.

Straight off the plane I was well into the events of the wkd, 1st night kicking off at Harrison's pool party.............

UPDATE: it's official - Matt Cuddihy took out 1st place in the Open Mens at Malibu... on a Valla fish. Congratulations Matty, couldn't be happier for you mate.

Congrats too to Jackson Winter for placing 2nd in the Juniors

This just in from Matt's mum, Di:
..... thought I would give you an update on the contest. Matt has won his first heat and is through to the second round, Josh C has been knocked out, Jackson Winter came in second and is through to the semis. Crusty (Di's words, not mine Phil!!) Phil Jarratt also has been knocked out. The surf was almost non existant on Wednesday but must have picked up. The contest is 6 to 7 man heats with a 15 min heat not real good. Matt, Josh & Jackson are also surfing in the Open Men as well. You can check out the results on www.msaclassic.com

Like Mum, like son - Di has just come in from surfing Noosa 1st Point at the local comp where a sweet swell is coming through she reckons.
