World Championships of Surf Kayaking 2011
Report 9 by Steve Farthing

Chris Hobson

Chris Hobson is the new kayak up world champion. In another hard fought final Chris overcame a late charge from Dave Speller to claim victory in front of a big crowd. In the women's Tamsin Green claimed her first title with some radical surfing in the tricky 3 to 4 feet conditions.

In the men's long boat, Edu rained supreme although James Hawker almost got the better of him. In the Masters hp, I had another close battle with Dave Johnson from the US, Dave's taking home the trophy this time. In the junior long boat, Andy McClelland picked up his first world title, while in the hp, Jake King was narrowly beaten by the Basque rider.

All the results can be found at the official web site. About to go and have a few beers, thanks Joey for putting on a great show, Australia's turn in 2013.

Steve signing off from the outer banks north Carolina.

One more time I'm goin to Carolina in my mind.
