Phillip Island’s Scarlett Rennie took out both the Under 12 and Under 14 girls events at the Surfing Victoria Groms Competition at Torquay on the weekend.
Scarlett catapulted her way to the lead in the Under 12 final “by blitzing a right-hand runner all the way through to score a 9.33 point ride,” said a Surfing Victoria spokesperson.
“This incredible ride put her ahead of her competitors and gave her the win.”
Scarlett said her dad had advised her to “go for the big sets, as big waves equal big scores”, and she repeated the approach in the Under 14 finals, again taking out top spot.
As the winner of the Under 14 Girls, Rennie was awarded the invite to the Woolworths Surfer Grom Comps National Final Surf Camp at the Surfing Australia High-Performance Centre (HPC).
Also receiving an invite to the camp was Arch Rayner (Inverloch, VIC) as the highest ranked Under 14 Boys Victorian surfer of the event.
Arch came third in the Under 14 Boys, while Dusty Rayner took at second spot in the Under 12s.
