After watching the Aussie guys bust their ass trying to ride the wave all week, I feel pretty disappointed for them. The event was not completed and so I am sure they were all expecting the allocated prize money to be split amongst the competitors -
When they rocked up to the presentation they were told - No result =No prize money
Not sure how much money was on the table for the waves but anyone know what is the go here.
Also the money for the downwinder which was never run - who gets that???
do you honestly think they were there to have a chance of winning,but they did contribute to the prize pool
all the wave entrants got money too..if you were there on the night and im sure if you contact pkra they will get $ to all that were not there at preso...
I watched the freestyle finals at Nazza and can't believe they didn't run the waves straight after, waves were small but plenty of wind/light left to finish off, the forecast for the last day was rain, no wind and no surf, fark knows what the organisers were thinking????
I love how everybody is a critic and knows how to do it better. Should band together and run a comp yourselves!!! it would be awesome!
^^^only minimal sarcasm intended. It's a good idea.
Yeah if more groups of knockers got together and ran a comp at their local we'd all have something to do every weekend!
Rowdy if we ran a wave comp down here in Port Macquarie (like where the Nats were run a couple of times) would you guys come and show us you winching skills and keep us entertained while waiting for the wind?![]()
On a serious note that actually sounds like a pretty good idea. (Yes sometimes I can be serious, even though my seriousness may be misconstrued for sarcasm in most situations.) Let me know how it goes.
