Locals compete in longboard titles
Two of the Ocean Beach Malibu Club's hottest young surfers competed in the Australian Longboard Titles near Port Macquarie recently.
Ocean Beach club contest director Mr Craig Coulton said the club was proud to be represented by such talented young surfers.
"Kai Ellice-Flint progressed through to the men's junior final (Under-18s) at the Australian Longboard Titles held over the past week," Mr Coulton said.
"The final was held at North Haven Beach, 30 minutes south of Port Macquarie, in small but very clean waves.
"Unfortunately for Kai, the experience of the older competitors showed and Kai placed fourth in the final.
"Remembering that Kai is only 14-years-old and was surfing against three 17-year-olds who all will progress to the seniors, Kai has a great prospect of claiming the Australian Junior title for the next three years."
Club member Bryce Williams also competed in the national competition.
