WP Champs 2016 – 30 & 31 July
Well, what an amazing weekend we had for our Auric WP Champs!
From the Committee, I would once again like to thank the Sponsors, Auric Consulting, Signature Surf & Skate, Sport ‘n Surf and Scarfini for the incredible support for the event.
Also to all the competitors, judges, the venues that kindly let us have opening ceremonies and closing functions at (Striped Horse for the awesome beer), our announcers (Kai Linder, Deon Bing, and Nick Hough our patron), George Bunting & Boetie Torien, who kindly toiled for many hours creating the trophies, The City of Cape Town for assisting us with legal permits & making sure everything was so clean and tidy over the two days, Shark Spotters and NSRI for always being ready to assist, Surfing SA for the generous use of their professional equipment, and to our committee & co-ops who all worked so hard behind the scenes to make this contest a reality – Paul, Charmaine, Cheree, Miles, Susannah, Chris, Craig, plus all spouses & friends, THANK YOU, without the support it would not have been possible.
There are still a few folks who have not yet paid the entry fee, and I will be mailing you individually. It’s your fees which make the engine work and we definitely need your support here.
On a not so positive note, one of the finalist’s prizes (a set of fins) went missing at the prize-giving. If you perhaps took a set of fins in error, please drop them off at Lifestyle or message me privately. No questions asked!
The results for the Champs accompany this mail below and will reflect the placings as well as point scores, as this represented the first of our trials for the WP team to travel to Durban next year.

Our next trial will be held on the weekend of 17 – 18 September, more information to come shortly about that, as well as entry details.
Your committee is already hard at work to make sure we have the best possible team to retake the trophy in Durban!
