Always the best weekend of the year, the community looks forward to it, and support has supported it every year since inception. The weather started out Saturday morning with the heavens opening up with pouring rain coming down. Sunday started a bit foggy with at least three fog banks moving from north to south, the third one coming through around two in the afternoon. Despite the rain and fog, but both days ended with beautiful Florida Fall weather, with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-eighties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday night, ready for the weekend event.

The caliber of surfing at the Tommy Tant year after year is just outstanding, and it shows with the amount of surfers surfing in seventeen separate divisions this yea . From the Tadpoles to the Pro Divisions, and every amateur heat, the surfing was top tier. One wave in particular stands out from Jr Pro Carl Burger. With the ride consisting of two top turns, a cutback, and an air to finish it up, Carl received the only ten of the event. I have a sixty four shot sequence of it start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carl Burger pulled off a trifecta, winning the Open Men\u2019s, Boys U18, and a 2nd in the Men\u2019s Jr Pro. It probably helped it\u2019s his home break. Carl posted the only 10 of the event.

The winner, Luke Gordon came down all the way from South Carolina. Luke was simply on a mission and could not be stopped after getting a second in his first heat to World Tour surfer Gabe Kling. He won his next two heats, with the third being finals and the one that really mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 21st Tommy Tant Women\u2019s Pro winner Callie Hertz surfed clean and fast into first place.

A mid-day paddle out for Tommy Tant was as always the highlight of the memorial event, with over sixty-five surfers forming the traditional circle. Good vibes surrounding the 21st Tommy Tant can only be measured by the smiles on everyone\u2019s faces and the community turn out. \u2013 Tom Dugan \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Circle Of Honor paddle out in memory of Tommy.

Even without a goodnight\u2019s sleep, Luke was able to put it all together and take the win in the Men\u2019s Pro and the $2,400 dollar check back home to South Carolina.
