PREWORLDS NEWS - Saturday 29th August 2009

A few of the competitors have already arrived in Coffs Harbour and over the last couple of days have been treated to some terrific surf conditions.

The competition site has been producing clean 3-4 feet waves with the occasional bigger set. Renan Leloutre from Reunion Island/France has been setting the break alight with some spectacular aerial surfing. Four of the women competitors have also arrived all fearlessly charging the powerful break - watch out for aerials from the girls this year.

Penny Bedford has already had the camera out and captured some great action shots above - don't forget to check out www.peniorphotography.com during the event for all the best photos. One week to go and Emerald Beach is the place to be.
