What do surfer dudes think about when they're not surfing?

Guess where these surf photos were taken and win a prize.

Just kidding. Everyone knows the surfing scene is totally legit in Hong Kong, right? That's why the Hurley Surf Cup 2009 was here yesterday and it made for a perfect Sunday. Well, that’s discounting the competition’s 10am start and the hour and a half trek (uphill) it takes to get to Tai Long Wan beach in Sai Kung. Blisters, moans and a spot of sunburn were ultimately worth the effort.

The Hurley Surf Cup’s laid back party atmosphere was a perfect accompaniment to some pretty spectacular surfing as we can see from the surf photos.

Winner of Men's A: Jason Guy (Australia)
Winner of Best Local Surfer Award in Men's B competition: Man Hing (Hong Kong)
Winner of Women's Cup: Bay Bay (Taiwan)
Winner of Boy's Under 16s: Atticus Summers (Hong Kong)
