The wind pricked-up for the start of the AO Cable Wakeskate competition but in a reversal of fortunes it was Susan Larsson (PHI) who took the title from Asian Champion Tulip Tadtiam (THA) with Hsien Â Ying Yeh 3^rd. The competition was especially close between Obi Cembrano (PHI) and Cody Murphy (AUS) in the Menâ€™s Cable Wakeskate Â with Murphy taking the honours by the narrowest of margins.Â Burid Detwilaisiri (THA) finished 3^rd.
