Lima Wins

So we can expect a tattoo of her trophy on her other side !

Gilmore still has the number 1 spot with a first and two seconds but Lima has narrowed the points gap to just over 300. Sophia Millanovic has also stayed in the race with her third taking her over 2000 points.

Next WWCT event is the Search later this month.

Beachley Classic On

Layne is out, getting beaten in round 3.

The waves are pretty big and onshore. Its the type of you generally wouldn't bother but every now and then a bit of face comes through.

The webcast is pretty poor, especially as some bloke keeps standing up in front of the camera. The commentators are trying but it is very hard to talk up such poor conditions.

The celebrity challenge is on later.

Women FInally Back Surfing

The women's WCT has finally started again with the Beachley Classic. The last event was Bells way back in April.

The web-cast wasn't working properly this morning but the waves at Dee Why looked pretty crappy.

Layne came last in the first heat but it was non elimination. She is now into the first of two three surfer round two heats.
