Boardriders enjoy big fortnight of waves and results

A MASSIVE fortnight has concluded for Torquay Boardriders with the running of the third senior aggregate at Jan Juc and the last event of the Victorian Junior Titles finishing over the weekend at Jan Juc.

With some great conditions on offer, the third senior aggregate proudly supported by Torquay Dental was a highly entertaining affair with some amazing surfing going down all day.

Jan Juc served up its best impressions of a classy  beach break as surfers put up excellent scores all throughout the competition across all divisions. After coming off some amazing results in the Pro Junior series as well as making his CT debut at the Rip Curl Pro, Xavier Huxtable reigned supreme in the Open Men’s division with some great surfing. Huxtable finished with a 14.63 total out of a possible 20 points.

In the Open Women’s, Bella Wilson was too strong as she rose above her fellow competitors to get a classy win. Wilson’s best wave score was a strong 7.67 out of a possible 10-point wave score.

Other division winners were Ellie Harrison, Asher Lens, Angela Ball, Indi White, Adam Leslie, Damien Wilson and Rich Hibbins.
