FIVE local surf boat crews have qualified for next weekend’s Australian Surf Rowers League (ASRL) Open in Coffs Harbour.

The Under-19 Male Anglesea Assassins, Under-19 Female Jan Juc Jets, Under-23 Male Anglesea Storm, Open Male Fairhaven Angry Otters and Open Female Lorne Edge all earned selection at the Victorian Surfboat Rowers League (VSRL) Open late last month.

The VSRL Open featured 200 athletes from surf lifesaving clubs from all over Victoria and was the final of three events in the VSRL state team selection.

 

Anglesea Storm (Under 23) and Assassins (Under 19) celebrate winning both their respective divisions on the day.

 

The local crews will now race against other representatives from states Australia-wide on February 13–16 in New South Wales.
