The Final round showed the best SLSA has to offer. Every final round this season has gotten more competitive and the C-3 was no exception. It was exciting to see everyone in the line up bantering, harassing each other but also pushing each other to be their very best. Great friends and great surfing made for a great day.
Final Round
1-Kris Marley 18.33
2-Moira BLUE 17.58
3-Richie Marley 16.25
4-Bodhi Lowtide 15.75
4-Jus Strat 15.75
6-Teddy Bear 15.58
7-Andin Kismet 15.41
Thanks to Flynn and Cierra for hosting the C-3. It was an amazing day and if you missed it you missed a really good time. The Season ends June 23rd again hosted by Flynn and Cierra at their legendary Bundy Reef sim so you have one more chance to see amazing surfing but more importantly meet the best people on the grid and as always SurfWatch will be there!
