North Shelley Boardriders’ Alanni Morris, Palm Beach’s Max Goold and Byron Bay Boardriders’ Hugo Spierings have claimed consecutive titles at the Surf Reflections Junior Series on the NSW Mid North Coast.
More than 80 junior surfers from NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia competed at Hungry Head Beach across three days of competition in near-perfect conditions.
Morris and Goold backed up their Under-14 wins from the opening round at Bonny Hills in February, while Spierings repeated his victory in the Under-16 boys division. Lilli Pilli surfer Pearl Eaton claimed the Under-16 girls title.
Former World Surf League professional Trent Munro and Newcastle surfer Jacko Baker mentored competitors throughout the event.
Surfest director Warren Smith said the event showcased the depth of emerging Australian surfing talent.
“The Urunga community has welcomed us in with open arms and we’re excited to build on the success we’ve had here on the North Coast in future years,” Smith said.
“Our partnership with Reflections and the support from local councils has ensured the growth of this series and this weekend it’s been fantastic to watch the growth in the level of surfing of the next generation of competitors.”
The 2026 Surf Reflections Junior Series is a 5500-rated event on Surfing Australia’s National Series calendar and is presented by Reflections Holidays and Surfest.
