"Buffy was really on form today and surfed way above her mid-level SLSA ranking," said judge Sally LaSalle. "It's Buffy's 'home turf' so perhaps this gave her some home girl advantage, but nevertheless she surfed hard and certainly deserved her win."
Left to right: Jaqueline Infinity, Buffy Monro and ONeill AuerONeill and Jaqueline joined Buffy on the winners podium with 11.75 and 11.5 points taking second and third place respectively. This is the second consecutive time that Jaqueline has taken third place at the VSA Surf Jam, making her a strong contender for next month's event, which is currently scheduled for 12 April. ONeill's second place on the podium confirms that he remains a force to be reckoned with and is well positioned for the next competition.
"The finals where held it pretty good conditions on Majini, early heats were totally lag free," said Sally LaSalle. "There were some good performances: Vic Bonetto did very well in the early heats, as did Matteus. However, tougher finals conditions saw Buffy, ONeill and Jaq shine through on the day."

"The competition took about 3.5 hours in total, which was pretty smooth," said Sally.
