Rising star Talia Tebb of Avoca Beach has taken out the Under 12 Female division in Round 9 of the 2022 Woolworths Surfer Groms series.
Regarded as one of the major stepping-stones in the development of young Australian surfers, the 10-event series caters for surfers from Under 8 to Under 14, with events held in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and South Australia and the final round to take place in Queensland on December 10-11.
The competition had a sea change to Elouera Beach at Cronulla on the weekend for Round 9, where the junior surfers were greeted with favourable conditions.
In the Under 12 Female semi-final, Tebb claimed one of the highest scored waves of the event with an 8.17/10, impressing the judges with her electric back hand performance.
She advanced to the final and snatched up her second win of the series in the Under 12 division.
Olive Morriss of Avoca Beach came second in the event.
Tebb was pipped at the post in the Under 14 Females by Poppy O’Reilly of Bondi to take second place.
