Champion of the Bays results

CHAMP: It took 13 years but it was worth the wait as Gisborne-Mahia surfer Ricardo Christie reclaimed the open men’s throne at the national surfing championships here on Saturday. A near-perfect wave in the last minute of the final at Makorori Beach earned Christie the title, who won it for the first time as a 16-year-old in 2005. Former World Championship Tour professional Christie had a classic duel with Piha’s Elliot Paerata-Reid, and delivered the killer blow with his final wave, scoring 9.93 out of a possible 10 for a two-wave total of 17.96, the highest score of the week-long competition. “It’s been a long time between drinks,” said a jubilant Christie, who competed on the World Surf League Qualifying Series tour last year. “I have done a few things between then and now but I'm happy to get my name on the trophy again." Raiha Ensor (Mt Maunganui) won the open women’s final, with Gisborne teenager Saffi Vette fourth. Christie’s win also helped Gisborne Boardriders Club clinch the top overall club honours from Point Boardriders (Raglan) and Bay Boardriders (Mt Maunganui). Picture by Paul Rickard
