SUBWAY PRO JUNIORS
ABOUT The 10-event Subway Surf Series returns for its second year and will feature seven qualifying Subway Pro-Juniors, sanctioned by the World Surf League (WSL). The Subway Pro Junior events, which includes 18 and under boys and girls divisions, form part of the 2016 WSL Australasian Junior Qualifying Series (JQS), providing the winning athletes with an opportunity to win a coveted world title, at the WSL World Junior Championships in early 2017. Proudly supported by WSL, Surfing Australia and Billabong, the Subway Surf Series was created to fill a competition void which exists at a crucial point in the development of Australia s leading junior surfers. 2012 WSL Men s World Champion Joel Parkinson and WSL World Tour female competitor Laura Enever are ambassadors for the Subway Surf Series, attending events and mentoring junior surfers.
