Hill previously won the open title in 2007

Tom Hill clinched the Open title at the Guernsey Surfing Championships on Saturday, with a powerful display of competition surfing.

Hill surfed strongly throughout the event at Vazon, held in quality four to six feet waves, to recapture the title he last held in 2007.

The 26-year-old saw off a strong challenge in the final at T'Others from defending champion Johnny Wallbridge.

Wallbridge had to settle for second place with Tom Colley coming third.

Prolific Guernsey champion Josh Sexton added another trophy to his already impressive career haul by winning the Longboard division.

Sexton styled his way into first place with a faultless combination of classic moves on the clean wave faces.
