The Lennox One Dayer – wrap, results & photos

Preluding to this event the surf conditions at Lennox Main Beach had been ordinary, With the Thursday before, the weather pattern was a huge swell brought by a southerly front. But Saturday brought us a drop in swell with morning offshore winds, a little passing shower early morning then holding off, the surfable with some difficult conditions post lunch & dropping tide.

This year we added a Ladies Over 40's division & added a Mystery Final. So 5 divisions were contested. All our divisions were practically full. 

Standout Longboard surfing was from Jack Entwhistle from Byron Bay Repeating his win in the Open 9ft this year & in 2023 & So to Dave Witt from Burleigh in the Over 40's doubled up again in 2024 winning the same division in 2023.

And in the Ladies events, the Open was won by Emma Perrier as well as the best Noserider Award. And in the Over 40's local Jemma Osmond taking out number one.

New facilities opened the previous day on the Beachfront at Lennox were well received, adding to the comfort for spectators & competitors over the day. 

And with The Lennox Surf lifesaving crew on hand for water safety, the morning was set for some awesome longboarding with the early morning high tide.
