Trigg Point Fires For Subway® Summer Surf Series In West OzSunday, 15 March 2015
TRIGG POINT, WA/AUS – (Saturday 14th March 2015), The Subway® Summer Surf Series kicked off today with a bang at Trigg Point in Western Australia, with clean high performance waves on offer at Perth’s premiere wave location.WA’s best young junior surfers dodged the effects of ex tropical cyclone Olwyn as it tracked south across the state. Dark and stormy skies couldn’t dampen the spirits of close to 100 male and female competitors, as stop # 12 of the 13 event national series showcased WA’s emerging surf talent.Competitors from right across WA brought their ‘A-Game’ and impressed in under 16 and under 18 age divisions as well as the recently added under 21 category.”The forecast for today was not looking good at all,” said Surfing WA Events Manager Justin Majeks. “Everything was pointing towards strong winds, small surf and a lot of rain, so we’ve definitely lucked out.”Yallingup’s Felix Leaver was the standout surfer on day one, posting the highest combined total during the hotly contested under-18 boys division. Leaver was explosive on his forehand, posting two excellent nine point plus rides to finish on 19.10 (from a possible 20).”The waves were really fun out there, I found some good runners that allowed me to execute some good turns so I’m stoked.” said LeaverLeaver, along with Duke Nagtzaam (Yallingup), Pascal Hutchinson (Sorrento) Jed Mattinson (Margaret River) and Moses Le Grice (East Fremantle) performed outstandingly in round one and will be leading the charge to attend the renowned Hurley Surfing Australia High Performance Centre when competition continues tomorrow.In the girls divisions it was south-west surfers Pheobe McGregor (Yallingup), Emi Campbell (Denmark) and Mia McCarthy (Margaret River) that looked in great touch. However, it was a Denver Young (Cottesloe) that shone the brightest in the under-18’s. Young used an array of forehand manoeuvres to score a 14.57 combined total (from a possible 20).”I guess I have the local advantage for once, so I made sure I used it the best I could.” said YoungCompetitors revelled in front of a strong on beach crowd, making the most of the expression sessions and free lunch on offer thanks to Subway®.The Subway® Summer Surf Series will help young Australians continue to develop their passion for surfing, whether it be professionally or recreationally and carry on to enjoy a lifetime of surfing.Participants will compete to win the chance to attend a three-day Subway® Surf Camp at the renowned Hurley Surfing Australia High Performance Centre at Casuarina, NSW. The camp, conducted by Australia’s leading surf coaches, will provide participants with the guidance and training they need to make the transition from surfer to professional athlete.Ambassadors for the Subway® Summer Surf Series are ASP World Tour competitor and 2012 World Champion Joel Parkinson and leading ASP World Tour female competitor Laura Enever.Adding to the series already high stakes is the inclusion of the Under 21 boy’s and girl’s divisions. The Under 21 winners from each event will be given a free wildcard (only entry fee) into the 2015 Australian Surfmasters Titles (Open Men’s and Women’s divisions) running as part of the Australian Surf Festival.Competition is set to kick off again tomorrow at Trigg Point from 7:40am with finals expected to start by 1pm.The Subway Summer Surf Series is proudly supported by Billabong, Surfing Australia and Surfing Western Australia.SUBWAY® SUMMER SURF SERIES EVENT CALENDAR – 2014/15:EVENT 1 – Dee Why, NSW – September 13 – 14, 2014EVENT 2 – Newcastle Beach, NSW – September 27 – 28, 2014EVENT 3 – Sunshine Coast, QLD – October 25 – 26, 2014EVENT 4 – Torquay, VIC – November 1 – 2, 2014EVENT 5 – Kiama, NSW – November 22 – 23, 2014EVENT 6 – Clifton, TAS – December 13, 2014EVENT 7 – Gold Coast, QLD – January 3 – 4, 2015EVENT 8 – Phillip Island, VIC – January 17, 2015EVENT 9 – Margaret River, WA – January 31 – February 1, 2015EVENT 10 – Victor Harbor, SA – February 14 – 15, 2015EVENT 11 – Cronulla, NSW – March 7 – 8, 2015EVENT 12 – Trigg, WA – March 14 -15, 2015EVENT 13 – Yamba, NSW – March 21 – 22, 2015To enter the Subway® Summer Surf Series, visit www.surfingaustralia.com#subwaysummersurfseries #eatfresh #surfhardFor regular updates and happenings, become a fan of our Facebook page here.
