the men are off

how do you know that? according to Supracer still 1 min to go

the cam had a bunch of paddlers going out !
or do they start on the water ?

is that free cam a delayed picture ???

it's the young guns kai and connor in front

Congrats to Kai winning ahead of Jake and Danny.. Hope we get to see some good vid of that finish later on.. Must'ave been sooo close.

Super stoked to say the least. Very proud of you boys. sounded like Jayden was right up their on last lap.

Yeh yeh yeh all those young blokes did well but Kelly at the tender age of 42 in sixth place sheesh

Great race! Epic surf! I had the worse possible start ever! Last to get out the back I think. Had to bust my butt the whole way playing catch up.
Ended up 6th too on offical results so pretty happy considering how bad I started.
Jake killed it! So happy for him.
Jacko had his usual no luck race hahaha.

The sets were gnarly! If u got caught inside it was so hard to get out of the sweep.

Everyone that did elite bop today deserves a big pat on the back!

Long beach run transitions too.

X angie

congrats Aussies... JAKE's got a bright future didn't realise he was only 19 been on the verge of a big win now for 12 months. so close today.. Kelly and Linc massive efforts.. they really prove they are some of the best surf bop races around.

Pete you said boothy finished 19th.. his name isn't on the list at all?
Thats huge effort for a guy that is so new to the sport..

Marathon Race tomorrow.. Hopefully You (Jacko) , travis and beau are closer to the pointy end..

Can't wait to hear what happened to Jayden Jensen who was with top 3 (maybe got done by weed)

just read on Supracer that he may have been taken out when Kai and Conner were going at it….sounds like those 2 need to get in the ring, have it out, and leave it there….

Just spoke to him. he cramped up

Unfortunately our boards for the long distance race did not arrive so we have one board which Jake will be using so fingers crossed he cam go one better tomorrow! ! Ang and I might do it on a 12'6 and hopefully wash ride along but will decide tomorrow.

There is a photo sequence on sup-racer showing how Connor cut back into Kai and ended up taking himself and Kai out......I'm not a big fan of rules but deliberately taking someone out because they're returning a favour from a previous race (Huntington) is bad form in my book. Perhaps there should be a gentleman rule that you have to try and keep your line to some extent and that deliberately forcing someone off the wave/causing a crash is not on.

Not sure what Connor was thinking, but if he expected that crashing into Kai would not possibly ruin his own race then something is amiss. Serious case of red mist.

As karma would have it Connor didn't recover as well from that as Kai did......

Funny, it was never close to being synched up for me. It was driving me nuts. A sucky Surfline cam which should be within seconds of real time and a blog feed which was nowhere near. I guess beggars can't be choosers...
