The Tybee Island Takeover turned out to be a big success today. Even though tropical storm Emily faded significantly, she still sent Tybee some decent swell! Waves were fun and lining up on the inside of the jetty as we had hoped. The tide filled in just right as the heats began. This year it was decided that we would split the divisions up into 3 categories: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The finals for each division were really close but everyone seemed to have fun and get some good waves. Here are some results and photos of the event today. Enjoy!
