Monday and yesterday were dedicated to Masters competition, for competitors over thirty years of age, and today was the first day of senior competition.
I decided the safest option for me was to walk to Scarborough from Trigg, that way I wouldn't have to wrestle anyone for a parking spot.
An easterly was blowing gently early on, and there wasn't a cloud in sight-unlike yesterday which was overcast. There also wasn't much of a wave but that did start to pick up. When the sea breeze came in with force the ocean became quite choppy.
The competition had a really good set up. Each arena had its own radio frequency and first aid tent. Around the amphitheatre were food vans, merchandise stalls and people handing out freebies. From the shade of the amphitheatre you could see most of the water events and you were prime position to see the flags and beach events and the open water arena.
Trigg Island are the leading WA team by day three, falling in seventh position overall with 26 points. They finished in 5th position in the masters event.
City of Perth on 12 points and Mullaloo on 9 points follow Trigg for WA clubs.
Northcliffe have a strong lead overall on day three on 103 points. They are followed by Newport on 44 points and Manly on 43.
City of Perth won silver for U17 First Aid competition. Trigg Island won gold and silver for U17 Surfboard Riding, silver for U19 board relay and a Bronze for Champion Lifesaver. Cottesloe won bronze for Open Malibu Long Board Riding and and Sorrento won bronze for U15 Surfboard Riding.
Hopefully the rest of the competition will continue without any dramas.
