The climax of this event took place in the semi-final when we witnessed an awesome showdown between past National Champ and winner of Trials number one Che Lovelace, and Current National Champ Chris Dennis.
After being eliminated in the same stage of the first trials earlier this year, by Che, Chis was not about to let a reoccurence take place. The two surfers rode set waves back to back with explosive action and kept raising the bar. So much so, that the final was almost an anti-climax!
In the end, it was Chris who took top honors and is poised to secure his place on the National Team once again. Che too, is in a good position to secure his position on the team.
