Tradies Surfmasters

Event #2 of Surf Retrospect 2016 , The 2016 Tradies Surfmasters presented by HIF, finished in an exciting fashion today with a range of different age champions crowned across a variety of different surfing disciplines.

Perennial local standout and multiple Australian Title holder Glenn Pringle (Cronulla) stamped his authority all over the Over-40 Mens shortboard division posting a 16.67 heat total (out of a possible 20 points) to claim the hotly contested final. Pringle dominated the star-studded affair claiming the win ahead of regular Australian Title surfers Ricky Marshall (Cronulla), John Shimooka (Cronulla) and Mark Tickle (Newport) who claimed second, third and fourth respectively.

Glenn Pringle Over 40 Men’s Winner

Local surfer Paul Detmold (Miranda) claimed the Over-45 Mens Longboard division, taking a runner-up finish and a win across his dual heats. The local longboarder went neck-and-neck for the overall title with fellow local Scott Young (Cronulla) who accomplished the same track record, however Detmold was able to claim the title thanks to holding on to a 12.66 heat total which gave him the nod and pushed Young into the runner-up position.

Blaire Moore (Woonoona) ensured a title would be heading south to the Illawarra region, taking out the Over-40 Mens SUP division. Moore put on a blistering performance over the duration of the event, continually posting excellent scores for a variety of mammoth turns, which enabled him to claim the title from Andrew Cassidy (Mona Vale) who claimed the runner-up spot.
