Courtney bows out
Umina surfer Drew Courtney bowed out in the first round of the Billabong Pro world tour event at Jeffrey's Bay late last month.
Courtney competed in the first round against fellow Australian Owen Wright and Travis Logie from South Africa on July 15.
Unfortunately, he could only manage a score of 7.73 against strong performances from Wright (15.56) and Logie (13.93).
Conditions on the day saw five to seven foot waves with offshore winds and excellent conditions.
South African Jordy Smith was the overall winner of the event against Australian surfer Adam Melling.
Courtney is currently ranked at number 43 on the ASP World Title Ranking.
