Iain Campbell (South Africa) showed why he is the reigning World Champion, hurling himself several meters above the lip of the wave in the Fling 4 Bling Airshow divisions. With a beach packed with spectators, Campbell dominated the semis and final of the division and take the prize purse.
Local dynamo Hunter Nichols (Kiama) ensured a coveted title remained in Kiama, taking out the Pro Junior division.
In the relatively low-scoring affair, Nichols managed to gain the edge in the heat, posting a 10.30 two-wave total and gaining the nod over Maroubra’s Liam Lucas who finished in the runner-up position.
Over the duration of the weekend, the Mike Stewart Coaching Clinic saw over 50 attendees receive coaching from the nine-times World Champion.
Additionally, Kiama Mayor Mark Honey presented Stewart with a thank you gift as well as formally welcomed all attending World Champions to the region.
Early forecasts indicate the swell will remain small on Monday, with a possible spike in swell on Tuesday, continuing into Wednesday and Thursday to finish men’s and women’s grand slam divisions.
