It was a disappointing result for the Cronulla and Elouera boardriders clubs competing at the nudie Australian Boardriders Battle southern region qualifier, which saw 13 boardriders clubs surfing for the chance to make the 2021 national final.
In a tough week in which Surfing NSW's John Shimooka passed away, Scarborough Boardriders claimed victory in the qualifier after a dominant display saw them win every one of their heats.
Both Cronulla and Elouera didn't have full strength teams with Cronulla surfing two 12 yr olds and Elouera disrupted by Connor O'Leary's wedding, but both made the semi-finals finishing fifth and just out of the all-important top three.
Scarborough anchored by reigning Australian and NSW Champion Nic Squires and recent Cronulla Open champion Kalani Ball posted their win ahead of Bondi Boardriders, Maroubra United and Ulladulla.
This year WSL professionals were not able to surf bringing clubs back to a more even playing field.
