Despite the forecast of rain and howling Southerlies, the weather was reasonably kind for the 11th Annual BMD Northcliffe Dolphin Ocean Classic on the weekend.
Competitors did have some tough conditions heading in to the wind but that made for good runs for the journey home. In the blue ribbon open events it was BMD Northcliffe duo Cory Hill & Elizabeth Pluimers who took out the 20km Ski events. Cory's good form from the recent Kellogg's trials continued winning the race by a considerable margin in a class field. In the women's race, Elizabeth Pluimers proved too strong with clubmates Courtney Hancock and Kristyl Smith rounding out the places to make it a BMD Northcliffe trifecta.
In the Open Female Board, Bonnie Hancock claimed a victory ahead of Noosa's Jordan Mercer and BMD Northcliffe Harriet Brown. In the men's race, Kurrawa's Phil Clayton took out the event with North Burleigh's Mitch Miller on 2nd and Met Caloundra's Corey Jones in 3rd place.
The final events of the day were the Open Male & Female Swim Events. Courtney Hancock took out the women's event with Phil Clayton getting his second win for the day in the open Male event.
There were plenty of happy random draw winners on the day giving away skis, boards, paddles, board covers, running shoes, eskys and much more!
