Ant McColl longboards to victory at Tay Street
Ant McColl has claimed the fourth stage of the 2012 Hyundai Tour, at Tay Street, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. The surfer from Mount Maunganui surfed the best one-metre waves on offer, in offshore wind conditions.
“Yeah super stoked, I have been doing this for ten years and have never won anything in the Open so for it to happen today in front of a home crowd I am over the moon”, an almost rattled McColl exclaimed.
McColl blocked Matt Cockayne from taking his first title of the Hyundai Tour, while current ratings leader Thomas Kibblewhite had to settle for third.
McColl started the final with a flurry of waves surfing away from the other three competitors using his local knowledge to full effect scoring a 7.67 on his first ride and 7.10 on his second.
