With the competition getting under way at 3.15 pm yesterday only a few rounds were able to run but George’s class, for over-28s, was one of them.
He forged a path into the semi-finals scoring 12.13 to not only top his group, beating Spain’s Lucas Garcia and Morocco’s Mohamed Khilaji, but posting the highest score of the entire round.
However, there are no easy draws from this point on and George will fight for a place in the final against David Raimundo (Portugal) who won through on 11.33 and England’s Tyson Greenaway who progressed with 7.93.
Ben Skinner continued his good form with another high scoring round earning him a spot in the longboard semi-final. He scored 15.67 to win his heat but with Holland’s Renz van Baalen posting 10.83 it forced Gordon Blake into third place on 8.83.
