ROUND 1 of this year\u2019s Victorian Longboard Titles began in good conditions over the weekend at 13th Beach.<\/p>\n
Waves were in the 2-3 foot range, and winds were favourable for both days of competition.<\/p>\n
Leaving everyone in the heat in a combination situation and taking full advantage of the lefts on offer, Barwon Heads surfer Ben Considine walked away with a win in the Open Mens Logger division, posting a combined heat total of 19.37, posting two excellent scores of a 9.50 and 9.87 (out of a possible 10).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe waves were fun all weekend,\u201d Considine said. \u201cI\u2019m stoked to come out with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
High scores were also posted within the Open Women\u2019s Loggers division, with Bea Conroy taking the win. Conroy posted scores leading her to a heat total of 15.60, leaving Emma Webb in second position chasing a 7.11 and Eglantine Balland in third position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe conditions were nice,\u201d Conroy said. \u201cI\u2019m stoked that we got some waves.\u201d<\/p>\n
