Groms Open Emerald NSW Bodyboard State Titles Round 2

Thursday, 12 July 2012

The Emerald NSW Bodyboard State Titles Round 2 opened up at North Cronulla Beach today with a small 2ft north east swell and light winds. The youngest competitors surfed for their chance to be crowned NSW Champions and make their way to the Australian Titles.

Cadets took to the water first with Rusta King (Newcastle) taking the win with a 13.00 point total heat score. Rusta was eliminated in round 2 but will be back into the Open men in tomorrow's competition.

Joe Burke (Copacabana) placed 4th in round one of the cadets but bounced back in style performing for the judges. Joe surfed through the re-qualifer scoring the highest single wave of the day, 9.23.

Joe stated, "It was mid way through the heat i got a small one, built up speed and landed an ARS into a roll. This pushed me up to first taking away the win and confidence leading to round 2".

Kurt Gillan (Port Macquarie) stood out in the Junior divison with a 6.83 and 5.33 despite the small conditions. The Groms divison stand out was Jacob Dunn (Harrington) edging out Nathan Wilson (Kiama Downs) by 0.69 in a close fought heat.

Standouts in the Groms, Cadets and Juniors will be in a great position for their semi finals, scheduled to surf tomorrow.
