Damian Prisk has taken the 2012 Portreath Harbour Wall Frenzy, the third stop of the 2012/2013 Auto Sleepers British Bodyboard Club Tour.
The first finals to get underway were the Women's and Drop Knee divisions. Clemi Hardy was first to pick up the pace with a fast roll on a right hander, but this was quickly followed by a tight reverse on a bowling left by Olivia Smedley, who now has the infamous El Fronton experience and some travelling around New Zealand under her belt. After a scooping bottom turn she raced the lip before smashing it with a huge roll landing in the flats pretty much on dry sand. Massive commitment and awesome surfing. Second place was a seriously close call but the bigger waves and tight control on the pocket demonstrated by Fox just beat Hardy into second place in a count-back situation. Last year's DK Tour winner Winkworth put together a run of right handers suiting his natural foot stance and a number of spray throwing reverses got him in the mix. It was McCall who took to bumpy bull by the horns and boosted a incredible lip grind which saw his board leaving the water, it ticked all the boxes for the judges and the big scores were awarded. It was time for a classic final, in the Prone division. Damian Prisk, Dave Speller, Alex Winkworth and Aaron Dinham, any of them could take it. Speller, fresh from his ARS arsenal struggled to find the wedgy lefts he needed to repeat the feat. Alex Winkworth struggled to find a lip that would offer anything on the big points scoring outside section. Dinham found the long rides and did complete several looping rolls on the outside. But it was local man and 2011 tour winner Damian Prisk who got busy with the big move combos. Results of the 2012 Portreath Harbour Wall Frenzy: Open |
