Happy New Year to one and all ... here we go, steaming out of the "Naughties" and into a brand new decade. Checking out the surfing calendar and it's straight into the Billabong World Junior Championships out at Narrabeen in OZ. Looking at some of the past winners of this comp it's definitely worth keeping a track of. Parko, Andy Irons, Adriano de Souza, Jordy Smith and Kekoa Bacalso have all triumphed in the past and are now regulars on the ASP Dream Tour. Two of this year's surfers have already qualified for the 2010 Dream Tour. All eyes will be on Owen Wright and Jadson Andre to show just why they are getting hyped to take over from the older guys.
The comp is due to kick off on Jan 9th just north of Sydney at Narrabeen. Here's our take on this classy spot:
"North Narrabeen is a very consistent long left at the lake mouth which can produce a perfect barrel all the way in. There's also an occasional R point type set-up, further up off the rockpool on bigger days.
Alley Rights, just to the S, breaks into the same channel, and has a shark reputation.
Just off the middle of the car park is ... Car Park Rights. Another generally well-shaped bank that delivers steep take-offs and barrels on a mid tide.
To avoid crowds, you can check the peaks further down South towards Collaroy. You may get less shape but there's a good chance of a lonely session."
