This was Steph’s 4th consecutive win at this event. Olly had won before in 2014 but has had bad luck in the last couple of years. This time he managed to get away from the beach clean and stay ahead the whole time finishing 42 seconds ahead of second place and fellow Flysurfer rider Theo De Ramecourt.
