Despite living over 1,000kms distant, three separate people told me how well Mitch Crews was surfing at D'bah last Thursday. "Surfed like he had an outboard engine attached," was one description of Crews' perpetual motion. He's also lost the frantic pumping that marked his sole CT year.

You can see a few of Crews' waves in the above video, which was filmed over two days late last week. Also included are Isabella Nichols, Jack Robinson, Zahli Kelly, Jai Glindeman, Mick Cain, and Mikey McDonagh.
