State title for Heidi

Jan Juc’s Heidi Abetz claimed event wins at the No TXT No Wrecks Victorian Junior Surfing Titles at the Gunnery in Flinders on Sunday 15 March.

Abetz continued her hot streak after breaking through for her first ever state win at the opening round.

In a tight Under 18 girls final, Abetz just came ahead on top by 0.1 of a point to beat fellow Jan Juc surfer Chloe Muscroft.

“The conditions were super tricky, and it was the first time I had ever surfed here which made it hard,” Abetz said.

“But all the girls did really well. I’m just super happy to win.”

Abetz finished on 9.77 points ahead of Muscroft (9.67), Lilian Bassed (Sandy Point, 9.27) and Savannah Bennett (Cape Woolamai, 4.73 points).

Jarvis Barrow (Jan Juc) was runner-up in the Under 18 Boys behind Tarvi Woods (Fingal).

Finishing in third and fourth respectively were Sunny Wouters (Rye) on 9.50 points and Remy Filer (Jan Juc) on 8.00 points.

Other event champions included Harlem Pec (Jan Juc, Under 16 Boys), Rose Holland (Dromana, Under 16 Girls), Raff Morris (Sorrento, Under 14 Boys) and Stevie O’Day (Jan Juc, Under 14 Girls).
