CATTLEWASH, Sand Bank Saturday, August 16, 2008 - It was a short day of competition for the BSA SOTY 4 event. Small random peak beach break waves, making for an extremely difficult day off competition in the open and junior categories

Bruce Mackie, back after missing SOTY 3 due to illness was in top form clinching the top spots in a clean sweep for the Junior and Open events. Finding his way out of the tricky round 1 heat advancing along with Stefan Corbin into the Semi Finals.

It was Chelsea Tuach, taking down the Open Ladies and Junior finals, leaving her fellow competitors looking to beat her score after posting a good wave score in the girls junior category.

Advancing to second position with a personal best in both divisions was rising competitor Allysa Fernandes narrowly edging out Chelsea Roett who still holds on to the points lead in the open ladies category

In a rare appearance on a Longboard, Christian Boos came out to take the top spot in the Longboard final. The messy waves and strong currents forced organisers to put the Junior Under12 and Menehunes event on hold after assessing conditions. The decision whether to hold the event at a later date is still to be decided. With only one remaining SOTY left for the year to be held at Bathsheba’s world famous Soup Bowl on October 4th & 5th, surfers are feeling the pressure with the hottest action in one of the world's best reef breaks still to come.
