Round 2 of the WA State Junior Surfing Titles was held over the weekend of the 17th and 18th of April.

The Saturday saw solid 4 foot offshore conditions at Gas Bay south of Margaret River and Carly performed strongly to win her heat , pushing last year’s state champion into second place.

Sunday’s competition was moved to Big Rock, just north of Margaret Rive.The waves were excellent quality and again in the 4 foot range. Carly worked hard throughout the final , but was unable to repeat her performance of the previous day and finished up coming third .

This now means, with two of the three state rounds completed, that Carly has achieved two third placings, giving her automatic selection in the under 18 girls division at the National Junior Surfing Titles to be held at Phillip Island in Victoria in December of this year.

The next events will be Round Three of the State Titles in July and the State Schools Surfing Titles in August 2010.

Airini came 2nd at the Junior Pro at Taranaki in NZ! Airini only just missed out on the wildcard to the WCT event. The event was held on the 10-16th April  

Accruing 1500 ratings points was girls champion Arini Mason.
En-route to the final, Arini was in white-hot form, defeating Felicity Palmateer (Perth, WA) in the decider.

Shooting to the top of the ratings, Arini was as equally dominant in the final, accruing a total heat score of 15.35 (out of a possible 20) to 6.20.
Racking up the highest single wave score, with a 9.50 (out of a possible 10), the highest heat total, with a 16.50 (out of a possible 20), and defeating current ASP Australasian Champion Laura Enever (North Narrabeen,NSW) in a one-sided semi-final affair, Arini Mason was the standout of the event.
