2009 Festival results & info
The second annual Bicheno Festival of Surf went off on the long weekend in January.
The Surf Art Contest was extremely well represented by artists from all over the state with over 80 entries and once again the “people’s choice” voting system proved popular and fair.
The results were:
Jenny Bottle – Painting.
Fermaine Milne – Sculpture.
Lily Evans – Jewellery.
Tina Singline – Photography.
Chelsea McKenzie – Kids art.
Stand Up Paddle board demo on the Saturday was heaps of fun and lots of new paddlers.
Surf day on Sunday had over 40 kids and adults in the surf lessons with lots of the kids backing up for the Groms fun event.
Longboard, shortboard and bodyboards were judged with a new concept of secret judging.
The emphasis being on having fun, trying different things and general attitude to the festival as a whole.
Bodyboard Champ was Gavin Kerr, shortboard went to Rhiannon Hamilton and Shane Taylor had a well earned first in the longboard.
Check out the slide show galleries in this Festival section.
Lauren Boyes took lots of great shots at the surf day and when they are available I'll let everyone know.
