The Thirteenth Beach Boardriders Club held their fourth event for the 2009 season on Saturday in super contestable conditions at Golfies.

Small waves around the two-foot mark were lighting up a well-formed leftbank that was dubbed one of the best sand formations for a 13th event in years.

The Open A heats were treated to excellent conditions with Matt Devitt bringing along his pig-dogging A-game to be the standout surfer in the early rounds.

It was a natural-footed affair in the final and Ben Collier shone through to defeat Josh Johnson-Baxter, Travis Bristow, Shawn Todd and Simon Collier with a gouging backhand attack.

Newcomer to the club, Brendan took the honours in the Open B division but it was veteran Masters competitor Dick Field who had everyone talking by placing second in the Open B’s.

After almost clinching the Open B title, Dick’s forehand proved far too good the old dogs in the Masters division, claiming victory ahead of Grant Hutchins who placed second.

James Jacobi won the Junior Men’s and Gus Harfield claimed his fourth straight U/16 victory to secure the overall Cadet title for the 2009 season.

8-year-old super grom Billy Harrison claimed his maiden U/13 crown defeating his older brother Tom Harrison, Bronson Field and Larry Willet in the final.

The Open Women’s final was staged on a bowling right-bank up the beach from the left at Golfies. Stefanie Crawly-Clough and Lizzy placed 3rd and 4th respectively while Molly Kenwood couldn’t do enough to outpoint Ash Wall, who won her first event for the year.

Goofy footer Matt Tribe thrived on the long lefts to take the Senior Men’s crown from Shane Vincent, Damien Robinson and Dave, who finished in second, third and fourth places respectively.
