This years Barton Lynch Blast Off Presented by Hurley finished in massive 6 to 8 foot waves at Palm Beach. In stormy, solid waves surfers from 10 to 14 years of age battled the conditions to put on a show that left the former World Champion, Barton Lynch in awe.
' To see these kids down here at Palmy today handle the conditions the way they did leaves me absolutely speechless, last year on the final day of the event at Avalon i thought i had seen it all when the groms had to tackle 5 foot conditions but this year was just remarkable.
I honestly saw a few 10 footers out their today and some of the performances i saw took my breath away, there were 10 year old girls out there giving it everything, taking big drops and taking some big wipe outs but funnily enough they would always come in with a big smile on their face.
The event began on Monday in small conditions which were similar all week long up until today thanks to a strong southerly change over night. In a busy week that saw champions crowned in the Under 8's, Under 10's, Under 12's and Under 14's, all in boys and girl divisions, their were two perfect 10 point rides posted today, one by Russell Bierke and the other by Riley Cadman.
