“I’m looking forward to the next comp to surf with my mates and have a good time.”
Jan Juc’s Estella Carbonelli lit up the Under 14 girls’ final with an electrifying display of skill and confidence, securing a commanding victory.
Carbonelli made an immediate statement in the opening stages, starting with a 7.50-point ride for a powerful forehand re-entry that set the tone for the final. Wasting no time, she followed up with a jaw-dropping forehand snap off the lip, launching into the air, dropping out of the sky, and sticking a flawless landing. This remarkable manoeuvre earned her an extraordinary 9.27-point ride, putting the rest of the field in a combination situation and cementing her as the undisputed champion.
Carbonelli’s stunning performance in the final not only secured her the win but also left spectators and judges in awe of her talent and composure.
