Mixed results for Central Coast surfers at the Chiba Open in Japan, with Terrigal’s Sam Lumsden knocked out in round two, while Avoca’s Wade Carmichael kept his campaign alive.
Using his trademark powerful style, the 23-year-old posted an eight, the highest score of his heat.
A solid effort on his final ride was then enough for him to leapfrog Brazilian powerhouse Willian Cardoso into first place, and advance to the next round.
