The Empire Games “Wall Of Death” presented by Converse was a wild one! The concept was simple, whoever went the highest would be taking home the cash. It was Phil Dulude who was able to clear the 15ft marker and take home the victory along with $1000 cash, Justin Healey earned himself $300 coming in 2nd by clearing 14 ½ ft; Sam Lind & Cody Cormier tying for 3rd both making it over 14 ft, $100 each.
The tension would finally be broken for the Pro division who had been on hold all week. With the best forecast of the week Thursday was to see the title race hot up. Also on deck would be the Masters and Amateur Finals. Looking to maximize the wave potential heats were to be run either side of high tide. The small swells combined with strong tides have meant that at least 90 minutes either side of high water have been flat with too much water on the reef.
