BURCHER IS CROWNED THE RED BULL JUNIOR SURF MASTER!

Twenty-year old Brett Burcher (Ulladulla, NSW) went home with the richest takings on the Pro Junior surfing circuit today, earning a massive $10,000 after defeating Tahitian born Tamaroa McComb (Burleigh Heads) during the Red Bull Junior Surf Masters Finals held in Cronulla.

In what couldn’t have been a more equally matched final, Burcher and McComb who advanced into the main event through the qualifying Trials on Friday and went on to net the highest single wave scores throughout the two-day event, went toe-to-toe in a dramatic final that saw Burcher edge out McComb by the narrowest of margins.
