The inaugural Australian Open of Surfing has just wrapped up for 2012 and thousands of scantily bods hit Manly Beach to strut their stuff. Oh and to watch the surf. It was an overwhelming success and they’re already planning a bigger event next year.
Here’s what I saw…

All eyes on the Women’s Final
Paparazzi mob Women’s winner Sally Fitzgibbons
Togs. When sand is in view, it’s togs…
Standing on the media balcony trying to look professional with my little camera

The big screen showing surfing and skating with the band stage behind
Men’s winner Matt Banting (he also won the Junior title!)
Under the Sydney sky. What a day!
