Margaret River challengers to make road trip as junior surfing titles move to Trigg

Fresh from the inspiration of the Margaret River Pro, some of the region’s best juniors will head to Perth this weekend for the second round of the WA Junior Surfing Titles.

Some of the Capes surfers, including Ily Fraser and Cowaramup duo Grace Cook and Ace Flynn, will be defending strong wins in the first round which took place in home waters in February.

Eyes will also be on Okie Fraser and Olive Hardy to score victories at this weekend’s event at Trigg Beach.

Meanwhile, local surfers would be up against some of their rivals from metropolitan schools as well as clubs as far afield as Geraldton, which hosts round three in July.

“We’ve got a great run of surf on the way and a solid field of competitors ready to put on a show,” Surfing WA events manager Justin Majeks said.

“It’s always nice to host such a big event at our home beach.

“The local energy, the community support, and the chance to showcase the State’s best juniors is something we really look forward to.”

The three-day contest will culminate in a finals showdown on Sunday.
