summary

What a mammoth few weeks that St Clair has had with back to back surf comps, and its still not over Rip Curl Gromsearch starts this week coming. An East swell of 2-3 foot and clean glassy conditions marked the final of the National Scholastic Surf Champs today. Congratulations to all the competitiors, organisers and support crew. It has been such a great experience for me, being a relative newbie in the surf photography scene to have followed the competition and to have thoroughly enjoy the buzz that surrounded the venue I also enjoyed meeting new people and especially being able to recognise a surfer in the water by style and name, and by face on the esplanade. Hopefully the surfers learned new skills and made many new friends, I know I did!
