Below is quote from Red Bull webite.
"Local Suffolk Park surfer Nick Colbey is the winner of the Red Bull Junior Surf Masters qualifying event at Lennox Head. Colbey surfed intelligently in a testing final by selecting the best quality waves and surfing them to shore with flair and precision.
“It was really tough out there,” said a thrilled Colbey afterwards, “It was difficult to judge which waves were going to link up to the inside bank and allow you a good score.” Colbey, 18, surfed his best wave for well over 100 meters - a ride that took him out of sight of judges and spectators and required a sprint up Lennox Beach to return to the contest site.
After an excellent start to proceedings, surf conditions were made challenging by onshore winds and a decreasing swell for the Finals. Two of the stand out surfers from earlier in the day - Brent Savage and Damo Norman - were eliminated in the hotly contested field.
Kingscliff's Brad King finished second, Coffs Harbour surfer Alex Maniatis third, and Kingscliff's Kieran Lloyd took fourth place."
