The Jim Beam Surftag finals were on today at North Narrabeen. Avoca Boardriders won the NSW state title and are in the National quarter–finals tomorrow. Here's some more from a write–up on the Surftag site.
“Another to impress was Avoca and WCT surfer Adrian 'Ace' Buchan.
Buchan, who finished last year ranked number 23 in the world despite a debilitating knee injury, starred for the Central Coast club as they took out the NSW state title in the morning before guiding the same team to a heat victory their Australian champion heat.
In what was an emphatic sign that the goofy footer is 100 per cent fit and in top form ahead of the World Championship Tour’s opening event on the Gold Coast in two weeks, Buchan scored a stunning 24.71 in the NSW final as Avoca totalled 88.61 to defeat Elouera and Queenscliff.
Buchan, along with club mate and world championship tour rookie Matt Wilkinson, were also outstanding in the opening round of the Australian Championship event with Avoca easily winning their heat from Merewether who had former stars Matt Hoy and Luke Egan in their side.” Read more on the Surftag site…
