Round 3 - Watergate Bay - 11 Julho"More rain for Round 3 of the UKSRL VB Summer Series at Watergate Bay held on the 11th July with a 6ft clean but building swell. Everyone knows the deal with the VB Summer Series..........it's about consistency and in surf making the right decisions at the right time and some luck."
(...)
"Two crews from London made the long journey to Watergate Bay. Mike Dowell's Twickenham Tridents fresh from rowing at Henley Royal Regatta felt they had the fire power to take on the current leaders Porthtowan Blue Bali."
(...)
"In the first Mens heat the Twickenham Tridents with Richard Meadmore sweeping took the scalp of Porthtowan Blue Bali, beaten for the first time this season."
(...)
"For the 2nd Round of the Mens heat Blue Bali reversed the result on the TwRC Tridents and the Rockets squeaked a third."
(...)
"Conditions worsened on the low tide bank with a heavy inside break and crews had to work hard to get out and back without incident. The mens crews made it look easy. In the the 3rd Round for the Womens heat we were now down to three crews. All made it out but on the way back the Rebel Angels missed two waves and were now in the impact zone with a set wave building behind them. "Nothing for it ladies we have got row across this bank asap" (that's my polite version), with that the boat was picked up by the next wave and a very heavy wipeout and rollover was the result. Everyone took a hammering but Shelley Hardwick stroke of the Rebel Angels took the worst and ended up with 11 stitches in a broken nose"
A próxima é já no sabado! UK Champs!
