The Emersons South Island Surf Champs were held over Easter weekend at Saint Clair Beach in Dunedin. Competitors battled it out over 3 days in varying conditions. Day 1 saw small clean conditions, day 2 small onshore conditions and day 3 saw a solid 4-6ft pulse.
As always our Exit Surf Team riders got some great results:
