The Blood on the Water contest made Monday nights GWN News. The surfing was so hot that it was difficult to pick it from a WCT tour event. Andrew Plunkett looked a bit like a young Damien Hardman ! Even the District Super headed down to check out the action.
For all the metro guys and those who missed it GWN has placed the story on their news website. Click on the following link to get there.

But it was not just GWN, the ABC also gave it coverage with the folowing appearing on the local radio website -
Police officers from around Western Australia descended on Geraldton at the weekend to compete in the inaugural WA police surfing competition.
Gusty north-easterly winds and a solid two-metre swell greeted competitors who travelled from stations in the south-west and north-west of the state.
Rockingham's Justin Browne was crowned overall winner in the open short board titles followed by Carnarvon's Bruce McDonald and Dongara's Ben Tomasini in third spot.
Mid-west District Superintendent Ross Tomasini says there was friendly rivalry between a number of police districts.
"I think it's very serious fun, they're out there and they're having a go," he said.
"When they've got their uniforms off, they're just the same as everyone else. They like to surf and fish and do all those sorts of things.
"Camaraderie is very strong in the police service and when you get them together it's great - the camaraderie, the banter, the competition, it's all really, really positive."
