PHILIPPA ANDERSON’S SURFEST COMES TO A PREMATURE END

A disappointing end to Philippa Anderson’s Surfest campaign, with the local bowing out in the opening heat of the day.

Chasing a 7.33 in the dying stages, Anderson struggled to find anything of note.

The ninth place finish sees her pick up valuable points as she continues in her quest to qualify for the world tour.

The swell pumping into Merewether courtesy of ex tropical cyclone Winston is expected to fade throughout tomorrow afternoon.
