AUSTRALIA’S best surfing tradies put their tools down at the weekend for the WorkSafe Tradies Challenge at URBNSURF.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s competition saw more than 50 competitors battle it out for ultimate bragging rights as the best surfing tradesmen in the country.<\/p>\n

The tradies made the most of the pristine weather and surf conditions and put forward some incredible surfing to earn some excellent scores.<\/p>\n

In the Open Men’s division, Jan Juc surfer and carpenter Ethan Huxtable was the standout performer of the day.<\/p>\n

Huxtable put together an incredible series of manoeuvres on both the left and right-handed side of the pool to take the win over Pedro Lani (Bittern), Isaac Markwell (Noosa Heads) and reigning champion Cole Fox (Jan Juc).<\/p>\n

“It was a super fun day surfing the pool with everyone,” Huxtable said.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy to get the win and lucky enough to win a new Milwaukee radio as well!”<\/p>\n

In the Bodyboarding division, Jacques Le Roux (Gladstone Park) let loose in the barrels to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Le Roux performed the cleanest technical barrel roll manoeuvre of the day and also put himself deepest in the tube to put the win out of reach for his fellow competitors.<\/p>\n

Chris Watson (Rosebud) finished in second, Mark Britten (Mornington Peninsula) was third and fourth went to Rui Mateus (Ivanhoe)<\/p>\n

“It felt awesome to take it out, the format of it all is really great,” Le Roux said.<\/p>\n

“Most of us surf together all the time but the nice thing here is that everyone is hooting each other on out in the water which is epic.<\/p>\n

“Everyone wants to win but everyone has that respect for each other and pushes each other!”<\/p>\n

The Master’s division was taken out by Sean McDevitt, who put on a masterclass on his backhand to earn a hard-fought victory.<\/p>\n

McDevitt attacked the lip of the wave with ease and showed off incredible rhythm to impress the judges and score a combined total of 15.37 (out of a possible 20 points).<\/p>\n

Second went to David Markwell (Noosa Heads), third was Ross Dart (Torquay) and fourth went to Luke Beerling (Rye).<\/p>\n
