The Bay of Plenty Junior Surfing Team has conquered the 2012 National Scholastic Surfing Championships, at Fitzroy Beach, New Zealand.
The surf built throughout the day to 1.0m - 1.5m with yet more onshore winds which made conditions challenging but highly surfable over the full tide. Despite team honours convincingly going to Bay of Plenty, the eight individual titles up for grabs were spread amongst the eight regions competing. Gisborne and Coromandel took two titles each with Northland, Bay of Plenty, Auckland and Canterbury claiming one title each. Gisborne's Jules Craft surfed to his first ever national level victory in the Under 18 Boys Division amassing an event high 18.0 out of a possible 20 points in the final. "I am so stoked to have finally won an event" Craft said. "Those two waves ran so far and they allowed me to get in some big turns and plenty of them, I am stoked to be able to finish the event with a win for Gissy". 2012 National Scholastic Surfing Championships: 1. Bay of Plenty, 17948 |
