Rough conditions continued to test competitors on the third and final day of the Australian Surf Rowers League championships yesterday.
The event was moved to the less exposed Sandon Point Beach, following the torrential rain and thunderstorms witnessed earlier in the contest.
Surf boat crews from around Australia battled it out until late afternoon to decide the top open, under 23 and under 19 teams.
The Navy co-ordinator for the event, Commander Rod Harrod, said the competition had been a great example of teamwork, fitness and motivation.
