Open Mens

Some great riding throughout the day from the opens division with all finalists going for broke and hit rail after rail but it was Isaac Mascheretti aka the Machetti cuts like a knife the judges reckon who took out first place with his amazing all round style. His stand out trick was his fully extended handplant on the wall ride, buttery style and also did a method to 5-0 on the flat down. Sunnies and IronMaden sweater also!

In second place Bruno Moise Crenty from Ontario Canada. His stand out trick was a solid front Board thru the kink, very hard trick to do, and he also killed the up rail to stall and then back down.

3rd place Simon Motion. Well he definitley had the motion that day, local shredder who works at the Powderkeg. Killed the down flat down, with big gaps to board slide and even a massive gap to front board with nice style too.

Honour mention to Leon Mckay who absolutely destroyed the entire course with amazing style, but unfortunately came unstuck in the finals. Great work though Leon!

Open Women

Taking out top spot in the girls was Charlotte Trundle; a Wanaka shredder. Charlotte killed the whole course, but her stand out trick was a lipslide thru the kink all over the bolts (so on it) an also nice 50 to front board on the flat down, and a solid on the wall ride.

Coming in 2nd was Mia Steir, local shredder, great solid style. Her trick was a gap to 50 on the flat down and also she destroyed the wall, but her cave man on to the down part of the last feature blew the judges away.

3rd place Stephanie Takarangi; local Turangi girl who came out charging from the first hit with all or nothing approach. She killed the flat down with a solid 50 to back 1 off the end, but one of the best tricks all day was her wall ride to grab the Volcom sweater off MC Willie Beggs. Yea that sums up the PBRJ, having fun, trying new tricks and winning cool prizes from Volcom and all the supporters of the tour.

16 & over

Taking out first place was Jason Price, Auckland shredder who had a gangster style with solid gap to front board on the flat down, and smooth 50 to board slide on the kink. Great stuff Pricey!

In second place was Billy Harloran, local Kune shredder working at Snowcentre. The most amazing nose press all day out of anybody, fully extended press on the flat down and probably the best person to get the Wall ride with a solid rock to Fakie on the very top, very impressive all round rider.

In 3rd place Morgan Schofield, who went for a swim in freezing conditions the night before for a Vestal watch, yeah and killed the entire course too, just a bit unlucky in the finals, got a solid 50 to b/s on the kink, and solid on the up stall to down rail. Yea Morgan, did you feel any leaches in the lake that night?

15 & under

1st place Ted Donnerly, the biggest man on the course standing at 6 '3 at only 15, killed everything with a humble and stylish attitude, got a great rock to fakie on the top of the wall ride and super clean front board on the flat down. He stomped everything in the final ...key !

2nd Place Matt Price, unlucky not to get the victory. He killed the whole course in the prelims, got a solid board slide thru the whole kink, came a bit unstuck in the finals, but held it together with good style on the bottom part of the course.

3rd place Tim Te Ua, the youngest competitor at only 10 years, was wearing a full one piece orange, aka the carrot grom . He showed real guts and determination on the flat box mixing it up with good style and jammed away on the wall ride with cool lay backs, then he even stepped up to the big blue flat down and got to the end ...a truly amazing effort for Tim and really made the judges and whole crew really proud .
