UPDATE: Check out this great race footage from Thomas Maximus. Apparently he and Danny were too busy chatting and missed their start by over a minute :O

It was a very solid performance then, as they both managed to fight back to grab podium positions!

Danny Ching took out the overall race on his unlimited board, ahead of Jim Terrell and Thomas Maximus. While Karl Ring, Kristin Thomas and Suzy Strazzulla also had wins. (We’re working on sorting out the FULL results…)
