Hurley Classic and the GB team

Monday morning and the weekend is over.
We were lucky to get Hurley on a good level both for Selection and the classic. On Saturday they held the 3rd selection event for the British team, with a low 2 gates and not many entries the event was over by 2 o'clock. Well done to all the paddlers and congratulations to all the boaters who made the team. Saturday saw some good rides, well done to Sam Anderson who steamed into first place after his 2 ride with some quick felixs and clean blunts, also to local boy Pikey who came a very respectable 2nd. The junior men saw some big air loops and with a low turn out from the women Claire O' Hara and Nicola Beeby had a chance to enjoy each others company with not to many distractions.

These are the final results for the GB team here




For the Hurley classic we were blessed with 3 gates which gave people a chance to really showcase thier paddling ability. About 10 paddlers in a heat and with half an hour to strut thire stuff, the highest scoring 4 moves were counted. Well done to Gerd Serrasolses for spain for takeing top spot and Gav Barker hot on my tail in 3rd place.

Well done to all the judges and organizers for both events and a big thanks to the rain gods for letting it happen.
