Edited report from the last day's action www.britsurf.co.uk
In clean 2-3 foot waves at Vieux-Boucau, the contest got under way, with some great surfing from Jobe Harris, Luke Dillon, Liam Turner. Matt Chapman, Miles Lee Hargreaves and Nathan Elms, all progressing through to the next round. With some innovative surfing from the french on their local break, the crowd were entertained with some good carving outback manouvers, and followed by some small barrels and floaters on the shore break. Nathan Elms and Jobe Harris impressed the judges and progressed to the final, and with a 3rd and 4th place the visitors maintained the respect of the local surfers. Nathan told us " it was great to be surfing a contest against the French, as it was their home break they really knew the waves, but this really pushed me forward. I learnt from them, where they were sitting and i think i really raised my game. I was happy to get to the final as both myself and Jobe surfed really well"
