CASUARINA/NSW(November 1st/2021): The Woolworths Surfer Groms Comp scored great conditions at Clifton Beach for the 2021 Woolworths Surfer Groms Comp. The young groms enjoyed the best waves and conditions in another week of rain and storms. The day before was too big and the day after flat!
Event organisers decided on the south Clifton ‘Super Bank’ which offered lefts and rights for the excited competitors.
Several new stars emerged from the event offering Surfing Tasmania coaches optimism for the future with them being listed for inclusion in the Surfing Tasmania development program.
Park Beach standout Cowan Duncan use his great all-around skills on his backhand to take out the U16 and U14 Boys double from Jessie Fleming and Mavin Freeman respectively. Clifton local Poppy Woodberry used her local knowledge to take out the U16 Girls from friend Sienna Lawrence. Newcomer Chelsea Fenton showed her talents taking out the U14 Girls.
Chelsea and Cowan won invitations to the Woolworths HPC Camps at Surfing Australia’s High Performance Centre in Casuarina in Northern NSW.
The PICS Star Performer Awards went to Poppy Woodberry and Marvin Freeman.

Clifton grom Matilda Heddle took out the U12 Girls from little Marli Hassett the U10 Girls.
