“Kai Bates (Moolymook, NSW) and Iballa Moreno (Canary Islands, Spain) have conquered wild conditions at Strickland Bay on Rottnest Island to capture hard-fought victories at the 2018 North Freo Stand Up Surf Shop Rottnest Classic presented by SunSmart.
After three consecutive days of great waves and amazing weather, conditions made a drastic change with rain, strong onshore winds and unruly 3-4 feet swells providing a true challenge for anyone who hit the water.
In a gruelling finish to WA’s premier SUP surfing event, Bates became the first male to claim multiple event victories, while Moreno is the first international event champion since the Rottnest Classic’s inception in 2015.”
