Third time lucky for the Victorian Old Mal and Logger titles.

After a nervous week of watching the forecast things finally fell into place for SOUL Longboarders to run the Victorian Old Mal Titles and Logger Comp at Point Impossible in perfect 1-3 foot conditions.

This comp has a long history with the club and president Brian Tucker is largely responsible for it continuing to run as long as it has.

His work behind the scenes ensures it runs smoothly and is enjoyable for all competitors.

This year’s comp was in memory of Robbie Kennedy. Robbie was a great supporter of this comp and loved his Old Mals and Logs.

Because of the postponement of the event it meant that some original entrants weren’t able to make it.

Logger heats were first in the water and had some of the bigger sets of the day coming through.

The swell calmed down during the day and the Old Mals had near perfect conditions to run in.

Lots of drop knee turns, fade takeoffs and long nose-rides were the order of the day.

Judges were kept busy in all heats with plenty of waves being caught and the scoring scale put up a few notches.
