The Hurley Australian Open of Surfing kicked off over the weekend with the Pro Junior Mens and Womens and today the Open divisions hit the water.  If you've been anywhere near the water over the weekend you'd know that there's a huge pool of talent in town.  Last year's local crowd favourite QBC's Nick "Danga" Butler is back with the Wildcard and surfing in Heat 1 of the mens at 12:30. It's not exactly pumping out there this morning but it's contestable and the guys and girls are making it look really good!  Watch the webcast Live

I'm out of town this week so Queenscliff's Blaise Bell will be the guest photographer covering all the action from the Open.
