Ozmosis Nova Pro Junior off and running with great Beachbreak Waves

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 16 January, 2008 : - - Australia’s top 20 year and under surfers were in their element today with Gunnamatta Beach on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula serving up some good sized and powerful 1m surf allowing for excellent surfing throughout the day.

Even with the onshore winds, the Gunnamatta sandbanks were creating performance shaped waves making high scores very achievable. Victorian surfer Cahill Bell- Warren was the days top scoring heat winner with a healthy 15.25 score for his top two scoring rides which included the days highest single wave score of 8.25 out of 10  in his big win over the very highly rated Madison Williams (Coffs Harbor) who also advanced in second place.

Bell – Warren sealed his win today with style by successfully pulling a high degree of difficulty aerial move on his final wave and the judges rewarded him with the 8.25. “ The waves are good, there’s plenty of them and you can really go hard in these conditions. I’ll go for an aerial move whenever the opportunity arises as they are the moves that will lift your scores into the excellent range and to make finals or win at this level, you have to be scoring excellent rides.

It’s no good surfing to simply progress, I’m always aiming to score excellent rides and improve my standings on this circuit. It’s a great forecast for the coming days and I’m super keen to do really well here.”

Other surfers to impress today included current ratings leader Stuart Kennedy (Lennox Head) who easily won his round two heat and the young Lennox Head surfer is clearly on a high after his opening win to the season just two days ago.

Sth Coast NSW surfer Jesse Allen summed up the feeling of most of the surfers after his easy win today saying “It’s good to have waves that have power in them and you can certainly feel the power out there – It’s a tricky beach and the wave heights can jump dramatically but I really like it here and I’m looking forward to my next round heat.”

Winds are expected to become very favourable at Gunnamatta over the coming days with close to perfect conditions forecast for the weekend’s finals. Twelve heats of round two were completed today and the other 12 heats along with Women’s rounds one and two are expected to be run in great waves tomorrow.

The Ozmosis Pro Junior is possible due to the support of Ozmosis, Nova, Apex, Superpages, Peninsula Surfriders Club, Play It Safe, Surfing Victoria and Parks Victoria.
