The best junior surfers from around the globe will battle it out on the Gold Coast this weekend for event seven of the 2017 Subway Surf Series Pro Junior, part of the WSL Australia/Oceania Junior Qualifying Series (JQS). This is the final stop of the series, with precious ratings points on the line and series champions to be crowned on Sunday afternoon.
The Subway Surf Series is in it's third year now, continuing to propel the world's best junior surfers into the future of competition with full support from Surfing Australia and the WSL. The series represents an important link in the ‘pathway to the podium' which was developed by Surfing Australia, allowing young surfers to progress their junior careers.
This series is so significant for break through junior athletes as it forms part of the 2017 JQS. The series provides winning athletes with an opportunity to compete for a much coveted world title at the WSL Junior Championships in 2018.
