There was a little more traffic in the water this week that made my daily surf feel more like I was up at Bondi Beach in Sydney than here.
But, hey, I not complaining because it was all pretty exciting as the Australian national junior surf titles were being contested. For ten days 140 surfers, 14 to 18 years old, competed for team and individual honours. Aside from today when the waves were a bit small, the weather and swells were near perfect providing the boys and girls with some challenging and daunting conditions.
During the week several of the parents from the states of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia came by Windgrove for a walk at various times and all were astonished with how beautiful Roaring Beach was. “Such a secret”, they said. So, didn’t I feel proud to think how wonderful that Roaring Beach was chosen from all the other surf locations throughout Australia as this year’s site for a national championship.
I mean, really, look at this photo I took on opening day. Any wonder that Roaring Beach was chosen?
