Absolutely cracking effort from young Shano, very hard system to turn up cold and pants the field.

Pity no-one took a pic of the winner

Well done Shano and thumbs-up to whoever supplied a loan yak, hope you have as much fun in the ABt qualifiers.

Cracking effort
Shauno and well done to Butch for his second place too, from what i can see it was really tough with loads of donuts and only shauno got a full bag.

I hope the qualifiers are a little more friendly to the guys as if its tough in a kayak it is going to be real hard with a field of boats out there.

Once again awesome effort Shauno

Looks like it was a tough day only 1 full bag! I wish I entered, got my yak to late. Maybe next year.

Shanos still in the wilds of Tasmania but he has been heard singing the praises of Tamar Marine for loaning him a kayak, a great bunch of blokes he said.

Shano has won both ABT kayak events that he has entered and says one day he will buy a kayak, as he does not own one himself

(Apparently a falling tide is really bad in St Helens, the bream keep their mouths shut, Shano got the only full bag at the last tough bite at Mandurah hobie ABT as well))
