Bar Beach, Newcastle played host to many Australia's top surfers for the 5th stop of the Hurley Championship Circuit consisting of six events. Keelan Vetich breezed his way through Open Men's, knocking out many big names on his way to securing himself a spot in the final and walking away with 4th place!
Coming into round 5 , Vetich was placed 6th on the overal standings, his 4th place will see him climb further up that ladder!
Wing Team Manger Luke Madden was on site to witness Keelan's performance "This is a really really really big result. Most competitors are professional, and he has shown that he is just as good as them "
This was also a big day for Madden himself, as it was the first time he has taking the reins planning and organising for such a big event.
