Burleigh Boardriders’ number 1 son Jay Bottle Thonpson grabben a win in his first round heat, smashing Greg Emslie 14.00 to 4.37.
Bottle got a sick deep barrell scoring an 8.5 from the judges, and was rapt with his win. “It’s great having a second crack at the WCT, after having a shocker last year, I am under no pressure this year, hopefully I can qualify on this tour or double qualify.”, said a smiling bottle, “Hopefully I can get a few more pits!”
