Josh Constable Wins at Noosa Festival Of Surfing
Current World Longboard king Josh Constable beat out fellow Noosa local to secure the win at the final of the Odyssey 20/20 Men's Pro division at the Noosa Festival of Surfing. The natural footer put on a rip-roaring display in the 30 minute decider, registering 8.83 and 9.00 point rides for a final tally of 17.83 out of a possible 20 points in the AUD$7,500 ASP Australasia rated event.

Clean 1 metre waves were on offer at Noosa's First Point. Constable put on both a progressive and traditional display of surfing, bringing the spectator gallery to their feet on numerous occasions. For Josh it is the realization of a dream that has eluded him since 2002, when he last tasted victory at the Noosa Festival.

"All week I have done my best to stay focused on my surfing and simply enjoy it and the whole Festival atmosphere here in Noosa and it worked for me, I am so happy, tonight I will celebrate with my family and friends who mean everything to me," Constable said.

Josh, who had recently signed a new sponsorship deal with Noosa Longboards in the weeks leading up to the festival is now a co-owner in the business and had a lot on his mind, "We were flat out doing a whole refurbishment on the Noosa store which meant long days and draining nights, but the entire team really wanted to be open for business by the time the Festival started and it seems that all the hard work was definitely worth it," Constable said.
