BYRON Bay surf-ski paddler Kurt Tutt,has won bronze at the World Surf Life Saving Titles in Victoria.

The titles, at Lorne Beach, were held in flat conditions. In an awesome series of results over the past few world titles, Tutt has now won two silvers and a bronze in the single ski. Eighteen-year-old fellow Byron Bay Surf Club member Jo Way made the final in the Open Women’s board and finished a creditable eighth. Brodie Moir also attended but missed out by one place on making the final.

Byron Bay’s surf lifesavers’ main training and competing focus is always NSW State and National Titles. They are hoping to take a full team to the coming major titles after having many of their top competitors unavailable for the last couple of local carnivals. The Open and under-19 gold medal-winning board relay team of Jo Way, Rique Sharman and Brodie Moir are hoping to defend their titles at the NSW Titles at Cronulla (March 10-13). The under-19 male ski paddlers are looking to again dominate after last year winning every event at the NSW Titles. Kane Battese, who won three gold medals last year, combines with Eddie Killingbeck (10 gold at this year’s Country Titles) and Pat Norton in the State and National title-holding ski relay team. Tutt and Dan McCabe will be looking for more open ski medals and Kristen Andrews will be defending her NSW Title in the under-17 beach sprint.
