Viking team rider Oliver Hartkopp once again took out this years title and now has a great lead on the Danish Junior Ratings. Ollie didnt mind the cold water and shifting conditions and did a great job not only on the Junior division but also in the mens open division where he passed a couple of tough heats before bowing out in the quarters.
In the girls division Venezuelan surfer Narayana Monfleur once again showed her dominance in the sport and took this year's title, followed by Anna Larson and Josefine Lutzau.
Finally, in the open mens division the lone german in the contest, Jonas Bronnert, upset the local boys to take the DKK 5000,- home. The final heat was hotly contestable, with Dominican surfer Victor Rosario placing a close second, with last years champ Christoffer Hartkopp in third and local Casper Steinfath in fourth place. I had a bad day and lost before the finals, but im still holding the lead on the Danish Rankings.
After the contest we all met up in the NASA surf club for dinner and a ping-pong tournament, which once again was won by Jesper Mone.
I would like to thank the sponsors of the event Hurley and Lutzau real estate as well as the judges Mor and Mike for putting up such a nice event and pushing the level of Danish surfing.
