Conditions on Saturday were challenging for the surf cross with the overall winner on the day Doug and Joey. 2^nd place went to Shane and Geoff (Ted), 3^rd place to Brett and Darren and 4^th place to Jay and Nathan.

Sunday was a nice fine day with fantastic conditions for the long haul. We required a deep water start due to the in-shore dump - off-shore conditions were 10 knots.

Some of the boys took the gamble and pulled out the big props and it paid off for Shane and Geoff (Ted) where once in the lead, were had to catch. Only 200m between first and second place – very tightly decided. Winners for the long haul were Shane and Geoff (Ted) with Brett and Darren in 2^nd place and Doug and Joey in 3^rd place.

Queensland Champions for 2011 after the combined Saturday and Sunday events were Shane and Geoff (Ted) – well done boys! 2^nd place went to Doug and Joey with 3^rd place to Brett and Darren.

Thanks very much to Jay and Nathan who, even though they ceased their motor on the Saturday, stayed positive and continued in the right spirit for the whole weekend assisting wherever they could – well done boys, greatly appreciated.

Thanks also to the supporters who made the effort to assist with boat and equipment transfers – again greatly appreciated. It was also good to see some members who weren’t racing to also offer their support and assistance in officiating during the events.

All in all, a great weekend as you will see by the photos. You can view all the photos on the Gallery Section of Neptune Marine website: www.neptunemarine.com.au
