Yesterday (2nd August) Singleton beach provided some fun waves for MBC's 3rd round for the year. A few new faces blended in with the usual mob on the beach spectating some great bodyboarding talent throughout all divisions.

New comer to the club Josh Fullston was consistently surfing good throughout the day, winning all his heats, and when he made it to the final he wasn't going to back down, taking out a well deserved 1st place. Scott Galbraith made the most of the onshore conditions for the final throwing down several big rolls but couldn't find the right waves to spin-to-win placing 2nd just behind Josh. Fresh from Bali Miller Best rolled into 3rd place narrowly pipping Pinjarra's Jarrod Baird.

Returning to the comp scene after almost a year was Rockingham hellman Jeremy Smith who rode smooth all day but couldn't land the moves he needed to in the final, but for not doing a competition for a year, 4th place in AAA division is still a pleasing result. Falcon grom George Humphreys was dominating his heats prior to the final landing an air forward and a big ARS, but when the winds turned onshore the waves failed to create waves with good ramps leaving George in 3rd place. Cameron Dicks spun his way into 2nd place showing smooth forward and reverse spins in the various conditions of the day, posing himself as a serious threat for future comps. Taking out AAA division was Charlie "Chucky" Carter from Dianella. Chucky was riding with great style and speed throughout the day getting numerous barrels and completing perfect reverse hacks continuously, which earned him the prized position.

Miller Best tried to show his versatility by entering Drop Knee but couldn't find his footing, but still didn't fail to impress the crowd by doing double knee to prone rolls. Margaret River DK demon Declan Genge wouldn't go down without trying, but couldn't find the right section to bash in the mushy onshore conditions. Along with the other DK competitors, Matt Rackich couldn't prove himself, placing second in the challenging onshore conditions, but Singleton Experience proved effective with Chad Abbott grasping 1st place for drop knee division.

Cottlesloe grom Calvin Best placed 4th place after doing numerous stylish reverse spins, placing just behind Ben Hardman (3rd Place) who didn't find the ramps as appealing as Round 2, where he scored 1st place. Davis "wingnut" Blackwell and George Humphreys were battling it out for 1st place from the start of the final to the very end, but George just had the edge over Wingnut placing 1st.

Round 3 was an overall great day which showcased some great bodyboarding on all different levels. We look forward to seeing you at Round 4 (15th/16th August - Best day).
