Indigenous recruit Soli Bailey from Byron Bay took out the annual DP Battle Royale invitational surfing event held at Stanwell Park on Saturday the 15th in a hotly contested final against Jared Hickel.
The contest organised by Dylan Perese, Scarborough Boardriders Club and Geoff Latimer from Illawarra Sports High saw the best surfers from Sydney to the far South Coast battle it out in fun 3 foot waves. Bailey banked a cool $3,000 for winning the event plus a chartered trip through the Mentawai's courtesy of our event sponsor Saraina www.surfinmentawais.com for landing the best aerial manoeuvre of the event.
"This wave is really fun, we had a good time here today, I'm stoked!" said Bailey after the final.
Skye Burgess from Port Kembla fought hard to win the Open Women's Final and DP Team Rider Jay Brown from Cronulla won the Junior Final.
The Undercard schools event organised by Geoff Latimer from Illawarra Sports High on Friday the 14th at Sandon Point provided great opportunity for the younger generation to showcase their skills.

Kiara Meredith from Warilla High School won the Senior Girls and Summa Simon the Illawarra Sports High won the Junior Girls.
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
