Without a doubt, Barbados’ Top Junior Surfer Dane Mackie, demolishes the competition yet again!!!

It is clear that the “force” to be reckoned with is without a doubt a true champion.  The Barbados

Surfing Association held it’s third and final Surfer of the Year Series event, at Soup Bowl, Bathsheba, on

July 7th, 2012.  The conditions were somewhat inconsistent with 4-5 foot swell, on the set, with onshore

winds.  Wave selection was critical.

The “LOST Enterprises”, “DIGICEL”, “JADA” and “Arnette” sponsored goofy footer tore up the “bowl”

surfing on his backhand.  Dane competed in four (4) divisions which kept him in the water most of

the day with numerous back to back heats.  Dane won every single heat he surfed in all four divisions

and emerged the champion in all four finals!!  He showed no signs of fatigue and his level of surfing

remained at its highest, with his powerful radical carves, controlled floaters and big off the lip hacks.

Dane was in his own zone!!

Dane emerged the winner of all four divisions contested – Open, Under 21 , Under 18 and Under 16.  His

endurance, consistent energy level and competitive attitude together with his assault of manoeuvres

produced an unbeatable combination!!

Dane achieved these same results at the Barbados Surfing Association Surfer of the Year Event #1

which was held at Branden’s, Drill Hall, earlier this year.   Once again, “Unstoppable” seems the most

appropriate label for Dane Mackie!  Well done!!
