Shark Island Challenge 2024 | Official Highlights, Interviews and Winner Announcement

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- On a sunny Sunday in the heart of Cronulla, the world's best bodyboarders gathered to take on the notorious Shark Island. A challenge it was, with 10-12 foot sets washing through and riders relying on knowledge, gut instinct and pure survival mindset to make it through the heats and into the semis and final.
Ultimately, that local knowledge paid off with Andrew Lester - on one arm after a particularly spicy wave in the semis - and fellow local Ben Sawyer making the final a two-horse race. With the title safely back into local hands, all that was left to do was get to Kurnell Rec Club for the announcement of the 2024 Shark Island Challenge champion. - กีฬา
Now lets do the west coast, Box challenge! 🔥
Hell yes.
X favor!!!❤❤
Yes!
Double thumbs up on this idea!
Thank you bodyboarding!
Loved the event. Well done to everyone involved. Bring on 2025.
From what I saw just then, Andrew Lester had the deeper barrels
Lester got robbed
Yeah Benny, congratulations! Such a sick comp, hopefully next year conditions are epic.
Thanx and Congrtas 2 Ben , Team Coquí Bodyboarders from South Puerto Rico
Let's fucking go ! This is bodyboard ! Thank you everyone involved to make an event like this... Like old times. Waiting for 2025 !
Why was Kingy not in it? He's the former champ. I still have that vhs vid.
The event was GREAT start to finish, look forward to another next season.
Thanks for the hard work
Great job by all involved. Love seeing the sport still trudging along
Great event and great coverage. I was frothing all day watching and this tidy wrap up of the event got me frothing again. Well done everyone!
Yep awesome coverage this video is fantastic
This is a real bodyboard event!
Huge gratitude to the event organisers and sponsors. So good to see this comp firmly back on the map with fantastic coverage ❤ 🎉🙌🤙
Great live coverage. Shit conditions. Never hold the island comp on a south swell again. Lester should of won
Well done to all involved, epic wrap up to an epic event
Felicidades por esa final epica!!🎉💪 Se echaba de menos Shark island ❤❤😊
esse é o bodyboard que gosto de assistir, IBC tem muito que aprender ainda....
Great event, well done all ✌️
Boom! Great job SIC 2024! Keep bodyboarding core!!
Well done organisers and contestants SIC 24 was rad
Epic contest 💪💪
Well done team!!
Great media package. Sick event.
I bet ‘25 SIC will be mental.
The swell direction just had to be a biiiit better and we were on. Still, massive turn out. Can't wait for next year!
Fun to watch the highlights … next time we need the OG Island crew - Nugget, Percy etc!
sick comp. go Benny
now that's what I call a dang surf film. just impeccable presentation.
although stand up board riders get all the glory , these guys are doing things that are simply impossible with other equipment, and possibly other people. .
Thank you, really enjoyed the comp! Can you do it again?
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is the events bodyboard needs!!!
Understand the reasoning for the call, it wasn't ideal conditions, but it was solid and there was a decent turnout.
That's a fair assessment
South swell was never going to be much different to what they held it in
And Sunday meant more spectators and better return for sponsors
mythical 👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥
❤
Lester looks older than Stewart and my knees hurt 🧓
what was the average age of competitors?
Where was Noah Deane?
Waoo sew cewl
Why did they even hold it on a Straight south swell??!?! NE or SE/ESE Is the way to go, come on SIC! Hopefully, shark lives up to the hype next time and they hold a longer waiting period.
that was sic! pun intended🤙🏽🤙🏽
Shit comp 3 average island waves all day should have held it this Tuesday .
Boogin is back
Great event but where was bullet and the DIMPLE 8TX
I had an 8tx, bought it in 1995. Such a cool board. In 2020 a guy bought it from me for more than I paid for it 😊
Bullet, dang that man knows boogin
I had three of them a blue one a red one and a purple bullet 8tx..fast as but they crease when landing big airs. Was in Forster NSW in 99. Checking blueies at dawn. Saw a guy on a lid out by himself take off disappear for five seconds and get spat out. Sped out there and the guy was bullet and I was on a bullet 8 tx. CLASSIC. Double axe handle HOBART
Doom eternal soundtrack mick’s riff pty ltd
It’s miller time and that trophy is from temu
Shop like a billionaireeee
Lester should have won lol bens got the style of a goober
Mitch Rawlins should have got an invite
Apparently his schedule was too busy for him to go
Don't agree, he's a half crusted beet up pawn star who will never step to Hardy's level
shame it wasn't all time island...
Better than the IBC
I don't agree...the cameras cutted the wave view, bad angles and few replays..the IBC guys are doing a good job
looks a bit mushy
beaus a cat
this is really sad. I watched some of the live feed and got bored after 30mins..
Shit waves, shit tricks, this doesnt hold a candle to a crappy WST event.
Nothing is coming close to bodyboarding like it was in the 90's I'm sorry.
Shout out to The King Mike Stewart!!!!
Is it just me or has body boarding not progressed
Most of the local cronulla riders shouldn't of been in the comp there is plenty of better riders in Australia to throw in, That was a perfect example of it's not what you know its who you know .
SIC has always been locals vs invitees, where have you been?
@@reddysteddy2195 I don't care if you come from Mars no one wants to see car detailers, mechanics and landscapers that can't do anything other then kinda ride a barrel when there is quality riders ready to go
@@mitch1455 except everyone but you, does want to see that. That's a you problem.
@@reddysteddy2195 alright mate, go back onto your vintage bodyboarder page with the rest of the handicaps .
@@mitch1455haha there was literally 4 local guys in there 😂
Not impressed at all . Why is Jared Houston so different? Who’s this Ben sawyer? Where’s BP?
Andy “one arm” Lester the real winner! 🫡
Shame the conditions were average. Should've waited...
Full crap
