On Thursday Cape Solander broke for the first time within the waiting period of the Red Bull Cape Fear comp. With the swell looking borderline and plenty of time left to wait the organisers put the contest on ice.

Thursday dawned with 6' - 8' sets under a light westerly. Would they come to regret not running? Only time will tell, but plenty of the competitors got to work on their match fitness.

As always Tim Bonython scoped it from the rocks.
