(Boomerang Beach, NSW - Sunday, 1 August 2010): The Ocean & Earth NSW Junior Surfing Titles saw a fitting end to five outstanding days of competition at Boomerang Beach.

Culminating with the 14 years finals the 2010 edition of the Ocean & Earth NSW Junior Surfing Titles will be remembered as one of the most memorable yet, as six new champions were awarded with one of the most prestigious trophies in surfing.

Illuminated by amazing surfing performances, pumping waves and pristine conditions, the event had it all.

Today, however, saw Jeames Young (Yamba, NSW) dominate the under 14 boys division. Negotiating the dwindling swell, Young outpointed Jackson Baker (Merewether, NSW), Jarrod Szele (Warilla, NSW) and Kipp Caddy (Ulladulla, NSW), who finished second, third and fourth consecutively.

Winning his first ever Ocean & Earth NSW Junior Surfing Title, Young was ecstatic to take home the prestigious trophy. "I'm stoked," he said. "I knew that all the guys could get any score, at any time, so I was really nervous up until the end."

In the corresponding girls division it was Holly-Sue Coffey (Crescent Head, NSW) who outshine her rivals. Racking up an impressive 10.00 (out of a possible 20), Coffey was a well deserved winner, having been the standout competitor all week.

Defeating, nine-year-old, Alyssa Lock (Tweed Heads, NSW), Holly Wawn (Newport, NSW) and Tess Mawson (Manyana, NSW), who finished second, third and fourth consecutively, Coffey continued the rich vein of form within the family. "It was a hard final," she said humbly. "All the girls were ripping so to win it is amazing."

With the completion of the Ocean & Earth NSW Junior Surfing Titles, and the finalising of Team NSW, all focus now turns to the Arnette Australian Junior Titles which will be held in Phillip Island later this year.

Comprising of some of the world's best juniors, Team NSW will again be well placed to shine against the other states. Having taken the team trophy for the last six years, Team NSW is looking strong.
