Homegrown talent Leihani Kaloha Zoric claimed her second title in as many days, taking out the Under-10 Girls division at Park Beach in Coffs Harbour on Sunday.
The talented natural-footer surfed excellently in the final, posting a decent 7.5 wave score that gave her the upper hand in the final and take her second title.
Fellow Byron Bay surfer Jaya Suhendra performed well in the two-foot conditions to take runner up in the Under-8 Mixed division to Yamba’s Pheonix Talbot.
Suhendra put up a valiant fight against Talbot, taking out the second final, but had to settle for second place thanks to having a lower high-wave score.
Kingscliff’s Lachlan Arghyros topped the Under-12 Boys and Lennox Heads’ Henley Smith placed third in the Under-10 Girls.
With the current NSW Health recommendations in relation to community sport, Surfing NSW has implemented regional boundaries for Woolworths Surfer Grom Comps for each respective event location.
