I checked Worm's blog to discover who won:
1. Kevin Connelly
2. Joel Tudor
3. Harrison Roach
4. Herbie Fletcher
I also was able to get some photos from Dana, who filmed the event.
I had originally predicted that Christian Wach would win after seeing the completely fucked amount of tip time he spent on the nose at Noosa. But HB is far from built for noseriding as that wave is.
Kevin Connelly ended up with the most amount of tip time. I always enjoyed his sections in the the shitty longboard videos of the late 90's, early 00's (you know, Terry Simms, terrible soundtracks, too much water footage, too much Malibu, etc). Since then, I have not really heard much of him at all. Here he speaks to nose riding in particular...and proceeds to hang some serious ten and lay down some buttery ass drop knees.
TJ used to have a pretty sweet Kevin Connelly nose rider. It was prolly about 9'6" with a bright yellow tint and a pin tail. This was back when he had the "Doodie," a late 80's Chevy station wagon. You guessed it, Brown paint job, brown leather interior, and Camaro rims.
Anyways, here are the photos.
