Stop 3 and final Stop for "KING OF GROMS"!
Another day of top riding, we saw a change in the placings in the under 19's.. Paul Maguire laid it down to win the 3rd stop stomping his whirley Bird and H5.. But Darren Bishop coming in 2nd but kept it cool and took out the "MasterCraft KING OF GROMS" for 2007 and $500.00 cash, 2nd was Paul Maguire with Under 15's rider Nick Gibson from Orakei Karako stepping up and killing it, Brendon Ellis came out with his guns blazing throwing everything big on a "do or die attitude" but just not sticking it which saw him come in on 4th spot.

Nick Gibson also dominated the three stops in the under 15's, which also gave him the title of "under 15's KING OF GROMS" and $600.00 for both wins, with littleman Talor Walters stomping it coming in 2nd place with Jamie Marsh not far off him for in 3rd place, We've seen Jamie really step it up this year and has a whole new bag of tricks, just not sticking them on the day!

For the groms under 10's, these kids stepped it up every stop, Talor Walters taking the "KING OF GROMS under 10's" with him stomping his inverts saw him walk away with a total of $750.00 cash(for both wins) with Regan Carlyon coming in on 2nd place, then Michael Leask hitting home with his 3rd place, then young gun Bradley Marsh getting 4th with only doing 2 stops as he was out with a tweaked knee on stop one.
A late entry and taught by our legend Ralph saw Bailey Firman give contest riding a go getting 6th, the wake was up to his shoulder but this young man gave it his all best.

Would like to thank:

Ants, Brant and Brad, You boys rock! We have seen you boys at nearly every comp this year setting up, running, driving, judging and organizing and making wakeboarding happen.. big ups!!

Also a huge THANKS to the Sonya, Ellis's, Gibsons, Bishops, Bevan, Ralph, Dave Leask, Marty and Napier Crew, my staff and my sign writer Phillipa, MasterCraft USA/UK, and all our sponsers and other helpers I may of forgotten.

Keep an eye out on Monday night news on TV 1 & 3, should be something on. Also I paid for a pro filmer to capture the last stop, so will be putting together a DVD, let me know if you keen, more numbers will make it cheaper, will only order the amount needed.

Keep it real and see you for MasterCraft GROMS SERIES 08!

Thanks Ralph/Tony for your comments... Was fun times.

Keep an eye out on TV 1 news and TV 3 Sport at 10pm tonight, should be something on about the final stop.. TV 3 told the our film guy Paul (HD Productions) that it was going to air then as 6pm news was busy..

Paul sent them 12 minutes of footage, so the series may get 1 minute if we are lucky Very Happy
