Welcome to the Sea Harvest SA Junior Champs day 3, and the day started off fantastically with Point garnishing our surfers with 3-4ft smooth as a runway model’s legs surf conditions. The surfers relished in the early morning corduroy lines, laying down some Lunch Bar ‘MAN-SIZE’ carves. But soon the sun rose and the wind stillness gave way to an onshore breeze which ruffled up the ocean’s surface producing white horses to the horizon. Not to worry though, onshore Lower Point turns into a bowly rippable Lower Trestles and the groms ditched power carves for fin ditches and we were well on our way.
Do take a peruse through our wonderful gallery brought to you by master lensman Kody McGregor.

Thalana Myburgh
Mitch Du Preez, has the most disarming and inviting smile on planet earth. But he puts that smile far away when he enters a heat; as can be seen here.

Nina Harmse; showing the boys on the beach she means business.
Luke Thompson is one of the hottest juniors emerging from SA at the moment. And we don't say that lightly. His favourite surfer is Griffin Colapinto, and we can see the resemblance in his surfing already.
Maya grinds a meaty down carve.
Captain Kai, looking good. loosing weight. and loosing hair too.

"All we have is now." - Daniel Orpen
Daniel Neethling leans into a tall man's carve.
Daniella Finlayson was first replacement and made the team cause Kirsty McGillivary pulled out. And she certainly made haste! Riding one of Mikey February's old boards, she's been putting together a couple solid scores and throwing 'jazz hands' like these all over the place!
Calvin Goor's a powerful kid, and knows a thing or two concerning laying down the law.
Brittany Gadd; jazz hands
