Sarah Mason (Gisbourne, NZL) 16, today took out the ASP 2-Star Swatch Girls Pro Junior France over Dimity Stoyle (Sunshine Coast QLD, AUS) 19, it a closely contested 35-minute final that went down to the wire in tricky 3ft (1m) waves at Les Bourdaines.

No competition for the Junior girls today and some heavy conditions for the women's division. Next call for the Junior girls tomorrow at 12h00.

The Swatch Girls Pro Junior France commenced today with two rounds of explosive surfing put on by the finest under-21 athletes with Sarah Mason (Gisbourne, NZL) 16, leading the charge with an incredible display of backhand surfing to claim the single highest wave score of both events, a near perfect 9.50 out of 10.

The opening day of the ASP Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian saw two rounds of competition completed in the men’s division with many of Europe’s best up-and-comers doing battle in the tricky 3-4ft wind affected peaks. Strong winds and occasional torrential down pours added to the difficulties experienced by Europe’s best under-21 surfers in their bid to take on the event’s top seeds in the upcoming round.

Vasco Ribeiro (Praia da Poca, PRT) 17, has defeated William Aliotti (Saint Martin, FRA) 17, in a low scoring tactical final 13.17 to 10.20 to win the Asp 3-Star Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior in clean 3ft peaks at the main event site of La Cicer.
