CROOKHAVEN HEADS, CULBURRA BEACH (Wednesday, November 29, 2017): The Under-14 Boys and Girls divisions got their moment to shine today as the fourth day of the Surf Dive n Ski Australian Junior Surfing Titles got underway in clean and punchy one foot waves.
 
Jai Glinderman (Lennox Head, NSW) shone in the small peaks, nailing an eclectic mix of turns and snaps in his opening Under-14 Boys exchange. Glinderman posted two scores in the excellent range - 8.25 and 9.00 - to get the edge over his opposition and leave his closest rival Marlon Harrison (Coolangatta, Qld) chasing an 8.86 to snake his lead. As a result of the heat, both Glinderman and Harrison sealed themselves a spot straight in the quarterfinals.

Zeb Stokes (Qld), Jett Dellitt (Qld), Touma Cameron (Byron Bay, NSW), Kalani Van de Polder (Cronulla, NSW) and Kobi Clements (Long Reef, NSW) all claimed wins in the opening Under-14 Boys heats and will join Glinderman and Harrison in the quarterfinals. 
 
Cedar Leigh-Jones (Whale Beach, NSW) followed in her sister (Under-18 Girls competitor), Bodhi’s footsteps, dominating her Under-14 Girls heat. Leigh-Jones notched up an excellent 17.50 two-wave heat total to claim a win and leave her fellow competitors chasing two-wave combinations to take away her lead. Leigh-Jones opted to use her forehand attack in the opening exchange performing an array of snaps and carves.
 
Charlize Everitt (Boomerang Beach, NSW), Ellie Harrison (Barwon Heads, Vic) and Zali Hewson (Margaret River, WA) all joined Leigh-Jones in the Under-14 Girls winners circle and will meet her in the quarterfinals.
