Great longboarding was on show over the weekend during the MP 20th Lennox Longboard Classic 2017 held at Lennox Head main beach in small and nicely peeling waves.
Standout longboarding came from Ambre Damestoy, visiting from France, who went on to win the ladies’ division.
Lennox Head’s Scott Channon followed up his success at the Byron Malibu Classic with a win in the Open nine-footers.
