Ocean Spirit on my mind
by Steve Farthing
Report No 16

A quick midday report because we probably wont get time to do one tonight.

Action started 11am this morning straight into the Open Semi's. Pablo continued on a roll, taking out fellow Frenchman, Renan Leloutre. In the second Open semi, Virgile Humbert's last minute heroics scraped him through over defending champion Rees Duncan, leaving two French juniors into the open final. In the Women's semi's, Sandra Pienaar got the better of Melissa Hardy in the small conditions. While Jackie Dillon caused a major upset taking out one of the favourites, Coralie Jousset. In the all French Cadet final, Maxime Gaborit was too good for Nathan Le Bars, watch out for these two guys in the future. In a rematch of the French open title, Pablo got the better of Virgile in the Juniors final with some amazing aerial acrobatics close to the beach and into the sand.

Next call at 6pm for New Age, Seniors and Masters finals. It looks like the Open, Women's finals will be on tomorrow along with the Tag Team event.

The party is getting close, one more report to go, Ocean Spirit on my mind.
