The O’Neill Cold Water Classic Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) 6-star made a change in venue halfway through the day today. A move from the primary venue of Pines at Wainui Beach to Pipe at Midway Beach in the township of Gisborne saw extremely improved conditions that had the international contingent of surfers foaming at the mouth to hit the water for their heats.
After two and half days of strong onshore winds, Pipe offered up solid 1.5m plus waves and little-to-no wind with cranking left and right-handers running up and down the beach.
19 year-old Kiwi surfer Matt Hewitt (Mount Maunganui) won his heat today and made it to the next round. Fellow Kiwi Richard Christie wasn’t that lucky and suffered a shock elimination placing third in his heat.
Even 2010 O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series winner Shaun Cansdell (AUS) was being eliminated today!

With the sun shining, a solid three to four foot swell at Brims Ness and light winds, this is no ordinary day at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland.

Sam Lamiroy, the best British surfer and at that the funniest as well, lets us partake in his journey to Thurso, Scotland. He wakes up at 5:30 am and starts from Cornwall, the supposedly warmest part of the country…He shows us the Tower Bridge and wants to make us believe it’s Birmingham instead of London. He gets bored from all the driving and catches a little break by snowboarding in Scotland! Sam’s journey to Thurso took 1008 miles, 2 days, a stop in London and a little play in the snow.

Following an unexpected lay-day yesterday at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland, the surfers are back in the water today as the competition moves to the famed Thurso East in windy, 4 foot but absolutely freezing cold surf. In stark contrast to yesterday’s designated sightseeing day – whiskey distillery tour and castle dinner included – it as an early wake-up call for a 7.30am start as the round of 96 at this 6 Star ASP event gets underway. Jarrad tells us that in Heat 1 Blake Thornton (A...
