The main aim of the series is not just to award upcoming talent but to identify, nurture and develop new ta-
lent and kids that want to take up surfing as a sport and not just a past time.
Conditions on the day were rather small but perfect for the contestants. World famous for its consistent right hand point break, Victoria Bay is also the ideal place to host a junior surfing event and from a spectator point of view it is also without equal.
