Pretty nice conditions at Kingscliff today once the southerly change came through, with shredders Justin Holland, Jackson Close, James Casey, Beau Nixon, Tim Cyprien and Rueben Roxburgh showing how it's done in the opening rounds of the Hobie Sup Pro and going through to the semis tomorrow. A high standard of surfing was also seen in the Australian Waterman Amateur surfing divisions with Anthony Smith, Ray Gleave, Steve Morley and Matty Delahunty surfing well in heats and semi finals and all going through to the finals on Sunday.
