The Lennox Longboard Classic 2018 Turns 21

Held Over the weekend August 4th & 5th,  over 2 Pristine days. Saturday swell size was very small real small, but favorable winds, Venue Lennox Main. Sunday predicted swell size was  less than 1 ft,  but it surprised us & doubled up with nice contestable waves at Lennox Main Beach. 100 competitors covering 8 Age & Gender divisions surfed this year. Sunday was a Awesome Day with some really contestable waves for longboarding. Lennox Main turned it on, & it got better with the incoming tide.

Stand out surfing rounds for Sunday were the Old Mal / Loggers Semi final on Sunday Morning. with some real old style log riding in improving surf & Nose riding displays to wow the crowd watching on the foreshore vantage spots.

The Open 9 ft Final as good as any longboard final with the eventual winner Scott Channon of Lennox Head surfing with his known classy longboard performance, winning again for the second year in a row. And in the Ladies Eleanor Robertson of Lennox Head  winning the Ladies  repeating her ongoing performances of 2017.

A noted Performance was the Logging style of Dean Sauvage, a junior coming second in the loggers final, Styling the log amazingly for his age .

The Nose riding of Alex Glassington of the Gold Coast a past Local Junior,  Returning from a absence from the comp circles was top class in all his events.
