The Championships started in epic fashion. Lyme Bay did not disappoint, testing the fleet with big rollers, short chop and a range of wind strengths.
Peters and Anderson, the 2019 Champions, put on a real showcase of surfing and marginal planing in the day’s awesome conditions and the fleet can look forward to some great racing this week.
