Victorian Open concludes at Cape Woolamai

The final round of the three-event Victorian Open series was held as part of the Phillip Island Pro in clean, solid waves at Cape Woolamai on Sunday providing the perfect end to the series.

Jan Juc’s Angela Ball took out the women’s event round win in her biggest career result finishing with a heat total of 8.33.

In a final that went down to the wire, Cody Robinson (Jan Juc) took out the third event of the series finishing with a 12.06 heat total.

Phillip Island’s Sophie Fletcher was crowned the 2022 Victorian Open Women’s champion after winning rounds one and two of the series.

Xavier Huxtable of Jan Juc took out the Men’s Victorian Open State Champion.

Phillip Island’s Harry de Roth had a chance at the siren to leapfrog into the lead and secure the state title. Needing a 5.66 wave, he fell agonisingly short with a 5.37 (out of a possible 10), leaving

Huxtable as the ratings leader and State Champion.

Other Phillip Islanders competing in the event across the weekend included Poppy Corbett, Sage Goldsbury, Luke Archibald, Carl Wright and Codie Jeffery.

Codie won the last round of the Men’s series held at Gunnamatta at the end of January.

The Victorian Indigenous Invitational was also run bringing together the top eight indigenous surfers from around Victoria.

Twelve-time Victorian Indigenous Champion Jordie Campbell (Torquay) took out the event final over Phillip Island’s Steffan Krosna, Anthony Hume from Torquay and Tyler Duell of Phillip Island.
