After a two month waiting period the Fluidzone Shark Island Challenge finally ran on Saturday. The Island dished up perfect 3'-5' sets all day so, despite being a contest for our bodyboard-riding brethren, the photos were too good not to run on Swellnet.

In the final breakdown it was WA lad Ryan Hardy who took the winner's cheque from Ben Player, Damian King and local fella, Shaun Pyne, in fourth. Longtime-local Dave Ballard won an 11 day trip to Indo, courtesy of Secret Sumatra, for the longest barrel in the expression session.
