I
t had already been postponed once due to the ‘Lake Rainbow’
effect, and despite the second lot of dying swell threatening
to kill the competition, Huey stuck in there and delivered one
last pulse of knee-high peelers for the final day of this, the 31st
Malfunction event.
The waves might have been tiny, but the water and conditions
were pristine - so much so that Matt Aldridge decided to take the
BBQ out with him into the bay, downing a can of amber liquid
mid-set whilst gliding up and down his board. Mini set after mini
set rolled on through, stripping the usually intense competition
vibe of the final day away and leaving nothing but family and
friends to share in the joy of wave riding.
