Aussies come to an end again.

The 2013-2014 Surf Life Saving season has come to a close with the Australian Surf Life Life Saving Championships finishing on Sunday. I went down to Scarborough again on Sunday morning to check out some of the events.

The weather was much clearer than earlier in the week and the surf was still pretty calm. Although the swell did start to pick up as  the sea breeze came in.

There were plenty of freebies being handed out so nobody went home empty handed. There were also food vans, so no-one was hungry and you could have the perfect spot to watch the beach arena and water arena one in the amphitheatre, while having a feed.

Northcliffe won on 481 points,  followed by Manly on 181, and Moolooaba on 164 points. The top three Wa teams were City of Perth in 7th position on 101 points, Trigg Island in 14th place with 61 points and North Cottesloe in 15th place with 60 points.

WA did much better in the Masters competition  with City of Perth coming 4th on 170 points and Trigg Island 5th on 160. Northcliffe also won the Masters on 180 points.

It was really good to get down there and watch one of the most Australian sports, and I hope Perth will get the chance to host the Aussies again soon.
