After at least 3 weeks without any significant swell the Open, Ladies and Longboard divisions of the AIB/Laneez series round 4 were completed. A pulse of swell came through on the Sunday giving Jersey and Guernsey surfers a chance to gain valuable points for places in the Channel Island team.

 

Round 1 saw some high performance surfing by all competitors who made use of the low tide conditions executing snappy turns and critical re-entries. The Gould brothers, Piers and Renny, both powered their way through along with Christian Boletta, Scott Eastwood, Mark le Moignan, Guernsey’s Tom Hill, Mark Durbano and juniors Nathan Elms, Joe Baker and Freddie Seymour. Casualties of the 1^st round were seeded surfers Ben Chapman and Sam George.

 

Round 2 saw junior Nathan Elms knock out the no 5 seed, Christian Boletta, and 20^th seed Tom Hill only to face the on fire Piers Gould and master surfer Mark Durbano in semi final 1. This is where Elms’ good fortune ended as the senior surfers had the experience to overcome the junior threat.

 

Firefighter, Mark le Moingan, who has had an impressive competition record in 2009 breezed through the quarterfinal stages but faced tough opposition from Scott Eastwood in Semi final 2. Along with Renny Gould he was able navigate past Eastwood and into the final where they met Piers Gould and Mark Durbano.

 

The final showed some real class in the difficult high tide conditions. A slight backwash was causing afew problems but surfing standard remained high. Piers Gould caught a couple of walling rights executing high scoring manouveurs. Renny Gould sneaked in some lefthanders, again scoring highly. Not to be outdone, Durbano and le Moignan pushed the Gould brothers all the way in the 30min final but failed to connect onto a high scoring second wave. The end result being Renny Gould 1^st, Piers Gould 2^nd, Mark Durbano 3^rd and Mark le Moignan 4^th.

 

The Ladies saw some impressive surfing with Shelly McFarling stealing the show in the final pushed all the way by Arlene Maltman. Maltman a veteran at competitive surfing is beginning to show form at the right time of the series and managed to show her style on the high tide right-handers. Chantelle Coote unfortunately had to retire early in the final due to injury but was still able to secure a 3^rd spot ahead of Esther Lempriere.

 

The Longboard division saw favourites Gordon Blake and Brad Jones knocked out in round 1 along with Peter Journeaux and Will Glenn. Invited visiting surfer and shaper ‘Chops’ Laschelles gave his entry up for eventual winner Dan Harris who again performed to the criteria pushing Joe Davies into 2^nd, Andre le Geyt 3^rd and Cole Jouanny 4th

 

Even with these results Sam George remains the current Open leader in the series with Scott Eastwood in second place, Mark le Moignan 3^rd and Andre le Geyt in 4^th. The Longboard division still sees Gordon Blake in the number 1 slot closely followed by Andre le Geyt, Will Glenn and Peter Journeaux. The ladies still have trials to run before all divisions including the Senior man and Masters compete in the final Euro qualifying event, the Deloitte Channel Island Championships that are to be held at the end of August.

Thanks for all the volunteer help over the weekend. Next scheduled contest is the DELOITTE CHANNEL ISLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS August bank holiday. Round 4 of senior man and masters TBA. Ladies trials TBA.  The Grandmasters TBA

Earth Wind and Water Surfabout 2009 16/17 May

RESULTS EARTH WIND AND WATER SURFABOUT 2009

WATERSPLASH 16^TH/17^TH MAY

 Strong gale force winds mixed with a heavy swell added to the drama of the EWW Surfabout. Heavy rain showers impeded both surfers and judges vision for times during the weekend but all the division titles were completed. The strongest surfing were in the senior divisions with under 18 surfers braving a solid 4-6ft low tide shorebreak late on Saturday afternoon. The hazardous conditions also forced organisers to run the Novice division at le Braye on Sunday morning. The Longboard division encountered long paddle outs on the high tide at the Watersplash on Sunday with some competitors retiring early.

 Performances were of a very high standard especially in the senior man division with Sam George’s domination continuing. Mark le Moignan and Scott Eastwood  displayed  real class in the Open Division and Nathan Elms in the under 18s was the big wave standout. Traditional and progressive manoeuvres from Gordon Blake and Dan Harris(Wales) in the Longboard Division gave a masterclass in competitive longboarding. Josh le Marquand was the only junior to reach the final in this divison and was highly commended by his  senior colleagues for ablility to battle against the elements but also get a spot in the final.

 Andre le Geyt entered 4 categories  reaching 2 finals winning the Masters and gaining a 3^rd spot in the Longboard which proved that his endurance fitness to be at a very high level.

 The Ladies started their heats on Sunday and found conditions tough. Strong currents, driving rain and heavy swell  were encounted. Those that studied the conditions and state of tide had an advantage. Calculated surfing by Charlotte Bayliss saw her reach her first final of the season and sheer doggedness by Lucy Goddard in heat 1 saw her reach the final. Steady surfing by Chantelle Coote and Shelly McFarling saw them sail into the final as well with McFarling taking the honours, Bayliss 2^nd, Coote 3^rd and Goddard 4^th.

 The highly charged Novices were fully amped for the heats at le Braye on Sunday morning entering their first Surfabout competition. All surfed extremely well under the ever changing conditions . All will be receiving coaching from Kevin Olsen during half term in Hossegor, France.

AIB/LANEEZ Series round 2 2009 and POINTS TABLE

JERSEY SURFBOARD CLUB 2/5/09 WATERSPLASH

 The AIB/Laneez Euroqualifier Round 2 for the shortboard divisions took place at the Watersplash over the weekend in some of the biggest surf seen at a contest for well over a decade. Solid 6ft-8ft waves pounded the bay all day Saturday turning the Open category into an endurance test for the competing surfers. Paddle out times were extended to 20mins with heats also being extended to 20mins. The juniors competing alongside the seniors struggled but managed to maintain their wavecount but the sheer power of the swell forced many to retire.

 Senior surfers, Ben Chapman, Sam George, Scott Eastwood and airport firefighter, Mark le Moignan proved that superior fitness and big wave knowledge was the key to winning the early heats. As the swell began to peak near high-tide with some solid 8ft sets appearing over the horizon, contest organisers changed the format to a 6 man final lasting 45mins. Here, Mark Durbano and Andre le Geyt joined into the fray but it was Sam George who surfed to the judging criteria, executing perfect bottom to top turns vertically with snappy re-entries. Charging hard on the long walling rights was Andre le Geyt and Scott Eastwood. Both Le Geyt and Eastwood tried to maximise high scoring potential on the righthanders but Eastwood , after combining some smooth turns and cutbacks found himself stuck inside for  15mins struggling with walls of whitewater. This left him playing catch up for the remainder of the final. Le Moignan continued to surf well scoring on both rights and the lefts and seemed to be battling with Mark Durbano throughout the entire final. Ben Chapman who scored the highest scoring wave of the whole contest during his semifinal could not string together a 2 wave combo  to worry the other surfers. After a long and drawn out final, George took the honours, Le Geyt 2^nd, Mark Durbano 3^rd, Mark le Moignan 4^th, Scott Eastwood 5^th and Ben Chapman 6^th.

 

Sunday saw the finals of the ladies, Masters(35+) and Senior man(28+). The swell which had dropped over night became a more manageable 3ft  making paddling out easier. Kicking off proceedings first were the Ladies with impressive performances from Shelly McFarling, Arlene maltman and Lucy Goddard. McFarling recently returned from Central America was keen to stamp her mark on the Ladies division. Picking up momentum in the early rounds, McFarling began to start charging in the final with some impressive turns leaving the other girls in her wake. Goddard, Maltman and Esther Lempriere chased hard but could not find the correct waves to surf . McFarling was 1^st, Goddard 2^nd, Matman 3^rd and Lemprier 4^th.

 

The Senior Man final was dominated by Sam George and Scott Eastwood with The current European masters champion, Clayton Lidster winning the Masters with a champions display of competitive surfing.

Jersey v Brittany(FRANCE) Bernick and Seven Islands Club

Bernick and Seven Islands (Brittany) v Jersey  18^th/19^th April at the Watersplash

 

As predicted the surf did not materialise to anything significant but the 1^st round of the shortboard divisions were completed and both Ladies and Open Longboard categories reached the final stages.

 

A 20 strong party from the two Brittany surf clubs participated along with a joint force of 30 surfers from the Jersey Longboard Riders Association and the Jersey Surfboard Club. All surfers in the Longboard division surfed extremely well in the less than perfect conditions executing style and manoeuvres with control and ease throughout the event. The conditions were unfortunately too small on the second day of the contest for the shortboarders to continue and their event had to be postponed.

 

As the competition became more longboard focused, Alexy Deniel and Lucien Leray both from the Perros Gueric region of Brittany demonstrated some extremely polished professional surfing. Deniel the 2007 French Champion reached the final but was pushed into 2^nd place in his semi final by local Brad Jones who was surfing in his first ever competition. Jones and  Deniel were joined in the final  by JSC junior Will Glenn and former European Tour surfer Gordon Blake. Both Blake and Glenn put the pressure on straight away in the 20 minute final with some stylish traditional nose rides and drop knee turns. Deniel and Jones feeling the heat soon stepped up their game and combined more manoeuvres to take control of the final in the dying stages. Deniel showing every skill of longboarding eventually took 1^st place, Jones 2nd, Blake 3^rd and Glen 4^th.

 

The ladies also competed well in the small conditions and fought tooth and nail to get the heat winning waves in the final. Helene Bonutto from the Bernick Club came under tough opposition from local girls Grace Davies, Esther Lempriere and Chantele Coote. Bonutto the Ladies Brittany champion tried all the tricks in the trade to gain an advantage. Switch footing and forcing turns could not stop the stylish surfing of the Jersey Girls with Lempriere picking off the set waves and Davies lining up the inside lefts. Lempriere took 1^st,Davies 2^nd, Bonutto 3^rd and Coote 4^th

 

The next Jersey v Brittany contest will be held in Perros Gueric. Date TBC. The 2^nd round of the AIB Euro-Qualifier for Masters, Senior Man, Open and Ladies will be set for 2/3^rd of May.Points will be awarded for those that entered the Longboard event this weekend.

 

Thanks to AIB Jersey,Cloud 9,AC Le Galais and all the helpers and judges. Big thanks to Bill Davies for driving down on the Sunday to fire up the BBQ
