[@matthart722]

Thank you bodyboarding!

[@TakingSquash833]

Loved the event. Well done to everyone involved. Bring on 2025.

[@garthlinton6760]

From what I saw just then, Andrew Lester had the deeper barrels

[@bobbomcturd1977]

Lester got robbed

[@troyaurio36]

Why was Kingy not in it? He's the former champ. I still have that vhs vid.

[@Someguy_8e2]

Yeah Benny, congratulations! Such a sick comp, hopefully next year conditions are epic.

[@coquiguerr3]

Thanx and Congrtas 2 Ben , Team Coquí Bodyboarders from South Puerto Rico

[@andrehilariophoto]

Let's fucking go ! This is bodyboard ! Thank you everyone involved to make an event like this... Like old times. Waiting for 2025 !

[@josephparko]

Great live coverage. Shit conditions. Never hold the island comp on a south swell again. Lester should of won

[@seblivefloormanager]

Huge gratitude to the event organisers and sponsors. So good to see this comp firmly back on the map with fantastic coverage ❤ 🎉🙌🤙

[@mitchellhall1661]

Great job by all involved. Love seeing the sport still trudging along

[@sanpedroez3367]

The event was GREAT start to finish, look forward to another next season. Thanks for the hard work

[@KINGHUSKII]

Andy “one arm” Lester the real winner! 🫡

[@timjenson6858]

Sickest day ! Great video highlights have watched so many times

[@NickBarth]

Great event and great coverage. I was frothing all day watching and this tidy wrap up of the event got me frothing again. Well done everyone!

[@jgbirds]

Thank you, really enjoyed the comp! Can you do it again?

[@beepeesscee]

what was the average age of competitors?

[@SnailsPacer]

Well done organisers and contestants SIC 24 was rad

[@devinricke9411]

Boom! Great job SIC 2024! Keep bodyboarding core!!

[@raalf22]

esse é o bodyboard que gosto de assistir, IBC tem muito que aprender ainda....

[@mariosoares1504]

This is a real bodyboard event!

[@mikeelmes3096]

Yep awesome coverage this video is fantastic

[@lw5383]

Fun to watch the highlights … next time we need the OG Island crew - Nugget, Percy etc!

[@benveitch5863]

Well done team!! Great media package. Sick event. I bet ‘25 SIC will be mental.

[@SportingNewsAustralia]

The swell direction just had to be a biiiit better and we were on. Still, massive turn out. Can't wait for next year!

[@pierremarqua2564]

Well done to all involved, epic wrap up to an epic event

[@richardelliott8352]

now that's what I call a dang surf film. just impeccable presentation. although stand up board riders get all the glory , these guys are doing things that are simply impossible with other equipment, and possibly other people. .

[@kennyboyer6011]

Where was Noah Deane?

[@torto9868]

This is the events bodyboard needs!!!

[@davidmr6334]

Felicidades por esa final epica!!🎉💪 Se echaba de menos Shark island ❤❤😊

[@eamonsherry2185]

Understand the reasoning for the call, it wasn't ideal conditions, but it was solid and there was a decent turnout.

[@SportingNewsAustralia]

That's a fair assessment

[@jayveethreefive5214]

South swell was never going to be much different to what they held it in And Sunday meant more spectators and better return for sponsors

[@smalltowninnewmexico]

sick comp. go Benny

[@commissioner791]

Great event but where was bullet and the DIMPLE 8TX

[@godisbollocks]

I had an 8tx, bought it in 1995. Such a cool board. In 2020 a guy bought it from me for more than I paid for it 😊

[@Tsar22]

Bullet, dang that man knows boogin

[@commissioner791]

I had three of them a blue one a red one and a purple bullet 8tx..fast as but they crease when landing big airs. Was in Forster NSW in 99. Checking blueies at dawn. Saw a guy on a lid out by himself take off disappear for five seconds and get spat out. Sped out there and the guy was bullet and I was on a bullet 8 tx. CLASSIC. Double axe handle HOBART

[@FMB123]

2:48 I'm gonna call that the "Wheelchair". 😂♿️

[@hugh_w]

Great event, well done all ✌️

[@Surfingphotography1983]

Epic contest 💪💪

[@HI-pi1er]

Shit comp 3 average island waves all day should have held it this Tuesday .

[@baggiohama]

mythical 👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥

[@nathanjaffajeffrey6075]

O fuck yeah only a surfer knows the feeling ❤

[@bodyboardx5931]

Why did they even hold it on a Straight south swell??!?! NE or SE/ESE Is the way to go, come on SIC! Hopefully, shark lives up to the hype next time and they hold a longer waiting period.

[@Matt.E9480]

Lester looks older than Stewart and my knees hurt 🧓

[@Godckr1]

that was sic! pun intended🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@calwoody]

Boogin is back

[@JoaoPaulo-pd4nw]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@paulypauly2062]

this is really sad. I watched some of the live feed and got bored after 30mins.. Shit waves, shit tricks, this doesnt hold a candle to a crappy WST event. Nothing is coming close to bodyboarding like it was in the 90's I'm sorry. Shout out to The King Mike Stewart!!!!

[@maybemore2010]

[@Morhan2014]

It’s miller time and that trophy is from temu

[@Tsar22]

Shop like a billionaireeee

[@aaronnolan6998]

Mitch Rawlins should have got an invite

[@Yahuah780]

Apparently his schedule was too busy for him to go

[@Tsar22]

Don't agree, he's a half crusted beet up pawn star who will never step to Hardy's level

[@Stankikass]

Better than the IBC

[@manueldiaz5074]

I don't agree...the cameras cutted the wave view, bad angles and few replays..the IBC guys are doing a good job

[@lemonbitters4559]

Nice 4 to 6 feet max. If thats "8 foot and building" then I actually am 12 foot tall. Pretty average for typical SI contests

[@Tsar22]

Waoo sew cewl

shame it wasn't all time island...

[@swibwi]

looks a bit mushy

[@jaycee571]

Is it just me or has body boarding not progressed

[@mtbjack9663]

beaus a cat

[@KaosRising]

Luke o Connor commentating the only man who has surfed every swell from birth and has never once produced a single good move is commentating! SKIP!

[@mitch1455]

Most of the local cronulla riders shouldn't of been in the comp there is plenty of better riders in Australia to throw in, That was a perfect example of it's not what you know its who you know .

[@reddysteddy2195]

SIC has always been locals vs invitees, where have you been?

[@mitch1455]

​@@reddysteddy2195 I don't care if you come from Mars no one wants to see car detailers, mechanics and landscapers that can't do anything other then kinda ride a barrel when there is quality riders ready to go

[@reddysteddy2195]

@@mitch1455 except everyone but you, does want to see that. That's a you problem.

Not impressed at all . Why is Jared Houston so different? Who’s this Ben sawyer? Where’s BP?
