We chatted to the winner of the first semi-final Llewellyn Whittaker and third place Allan Johns. Second place Greg Emslie was a bit camera shy.
Despite Whittaker putting up one of the highest scores of the day as he chased semi-final victory, the Mossel Bay surfer lost out to Manfred Adrio in the final later in the day. We caught up with him as he came out of the water:
Allan Johns was disappointed not to make it to the final. Here’s what he had to say:
