Yours truly getting down to some late night sliding...
O-bag and Steve made the trip down too. Owen stoked with his Desmond... (Owen affectionately nicknamed his 2:2 Desmond, after Desmond 'Tutu')
Round 1, Heat 4. Unfortunately my competitive streak in the comp didn't last too long when I got knocked out in heat 2 of the first round.

Everyone did their best to make the most of it though. Craig Butler sticking it out.
Things started to relatively better on the push for the juniors and ladies final. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hang-Five...
