While driving down to the contest site, I got a call from a competitor asking if the contest was still on. The reason he called is that the surf was supposed to be flat, and he was trying to save himself the drive in case it was off. I was stoked to call him back when I first saw the surf - it wasn't Indo or even Hatteras, but it was contestable and almost looked fun. The surf got better thru the morning heats as the winds continued to ease, one of the judges even commented that they were seeing higher scores today over yesterday. Here are some of the highlights:
- Keto Burns continued the run he had yesterday, winning every heat and every final save 2. Keto was the unofficial "ironman" of the event, surfing a total of 15 heats, and posting double-digit heat tallies in nearly all of them.
- Haley Watson from Flagler surfed all the way to the finals of 17 & Under Shortboard, beating a few guys along the way. Haley also won all the women's divisions she entered.
- After much debate, for the first time ever we judged the Little Turkeys! Each competitor, however, was awarded with a trophy and a prize package from the division sponsor, the Alligator Farm.
Full heat sheets and results from the entire event are posted below. It was a lot of fun running the 2008 Turkey Classic, we hope to be at it again next year. See you there!
