DKS Sundowner Tiona 2010 – presented by Turbo and Bluntcut Fins
Recap from the TIONA Comp from the cool cats at DKS:
Newcastles Rob Richards has emerged out of nowhere to take out the 2010 DKS Sundowner Tiona contest infront of Central Coast’s Grant Molony. South Boomerang Beach was the venue with some classy 3ft waves all day which seen some of the world’s best DK riders battle it out.
“We decided to try a different format this year running the 2 first rounds as 4 man heats and then it was man-on-man format from there on in right to the final” organiser Clayton Pickworth said. “It gave the riders more of an opportunity in the water to prove what they can do and showcase their skills” he said. “Rob surfed consistantly all day after a shakey first round heat but he cut loose with some awesome tail snaps and big floaters which impressed the crowd”. Grant Molony was left without a solid wave in the final which Richards had control of from the first 10 minutes with some great moves off the right handers.
In the 3rd and 4th place surf off, Central Coast’s Mat Klimowicz was victorious over Victorian rider Justin Welsh who rounded out the top 4 places. Organiser Clayton Pickworth couldn’t have been more happy with how the contest went, “Mate i’m stoked that we get the best riders here every year regardless of what else is going on around the world and it showed this weekend with another new name becoming a winner here at DKS”. “These contests are doing what it set out to and that’s creating opportunity for exposure for any DK rider from any region and Rob has certainly stepped up to the plate and beat some of the best on his way”.
This weekend will see the second DKS event take place in Port Macquarie at the best break on the day. You can catch all the action on the DKS website www.dksessions.com and follow the links.
