Contestants, volunteers, bystanders and curious onlookers had an amazing time watching the region’s best put on a excellent display of how to tackle an already difficult wave at a much higher than ideal water level. There were complimentary hot dogs and hamburgers for surfers, kayakers and spectators grilled up by Surf Side Crew member, Eric Winch.

A Red Bull mini cooper showed up during the second heat just in time to supply the contestants and spectators with some much needed energy too. There were also other white water enthusiasts and photographers out covering the event.

Here are the official overall results

Men’s

• 1st – Trevor Cunningham
• 2nd – Josh Hart
• 3rd – Marco Carnero

Women’s

• 1st – Kelsey Chiappa
• 2nd – Erin Hall
• 3rd – Amanda Schembri

Honorable mention goes out to Brandon Fasan for showing up minutes before the First Heat with his 12 foot Sea-Doo which he used to caddy the contestants back to The Wall if they got swept away from the extremely strong currents, it also gave the surfers a more official “World Surf League” vibe ;)

There is going to be a big jam style event with open registration to all surfers this year. Hopefully the weather and water levels continue to cooperate because it’s looking like a beautiful day to bring the whole river surfing community together! And yes, there will be prizes!
