Keeping it in the family, Shyla’s sister Zahlia finished third in the Under 14 girls.
Competitors in the Under-12 and Under-14 divisions were vying for a prestigious NSW Junior Title, with the Under-14 division allocated positions for the Australian Junior Surfing Titles which will take place in South Australian in November/December.
All qualifiers for the Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles were determined by eight individual regional titles, which took place up and down the NSW coastline earlier in the year.
