Kash Brown (Cronulla) and Ruby Trew (Manly) claimed top honours in the Under-14 divisions at the Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles pres. by Ocean and Earth, following an action-packed day of surfing in dreamy Sandon Point conditions.
Kash Brown showed that he’d be a name to watch in the upcoming years as he blasted apart the long rights of Sandon Point today. The Sutherland Shire natural footer executed a flurry of beautiful snaps and carves to post two excellent scores: 9.40 and 8.07 (out of a possible 10 points) to amass a giant 17.47 two-wave total. The scoreline allowed him to gain the upper hand against fellow event standout Max Mcgillivray (Evans Head) who finished in second position with a decent 14.63 heat total.
Ruby Trew showed her star was continuing to rise as she claimed the Under-14 Girls final. As a goofy-footer, Trew used her sharp backhand repertoire to muster up a solid 16.56 total to claim the final. Trew gained the title from north coast standout Ocea Curtis (Lennox Head) who put on a valiant performance to finish the final with a 14.00 total.
