Local surfer Nick Laidlaw is the winner of Red Bull Junior Surf Masters Qualifier Event at Avalon Beach. It was a victory at sea for the 19-year-old Avalon surfer who tamed huge stormy waves and outclassed a field of the best surfers from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to come out on top.

The surf conditions were by far the most challenging in Red Bull Junior Masters Series Qualifying Series so far. Stormy six to eight foot waves romped into the beach at Avalon making the event a physical challenge as much as a test of surf skills. Despite the demanding swell the surfing throughout the day was red hot and showed that Sydney’s Northern Beaches are still a major force in the world of competitive surfing.
