Josh Garner and Jack Benyan 1st- World Champions. Their coach Tony Bull reported on these Champions – “Well, where do you start? A sublime regatta. Winner of the Australian Championship, top scoring boat on UK Nationals and were tested by the Ukrainian crew of Uliana Postrelko and David Guttiiev (plaudits to them too). They came out and smashed the last race, blowing everyone away and putting the result beyond doubt! As the family Rhib headed out to the last race, they were greeted by a seal swimming alongside. Jack’s dad Dave mentioned that the appearance of a seal in the surfing fraternity is regarded as being joined by a departed soul, and we all know who that was! Grandfather John would have been very proud!:
Olive Hooper and Samantha Archer -1st promotional fleet.
