Number one seed Owen Wright, stamped his authority with a convincing win. Wright opened his campaign with the typical flair and style that has him currently holding down first place on the ASP Pro Junior ratings. His wave selection and devastating forehand attack was enough to see him rewarded with the morning's highest scoring wave, an 8.55. He went on to back that up with a 7.25 ride to finish with a combined total of 15.80.

 "The waves were pretty fun, although they were sort of slow at the start of the heat, I managed to pick off a few good ones and get a few turns in so I’m pretty happy" said Wright.

Owen joined current ISA under 18 World Junior Champion Dean Bowen to take some time out to have a chat and sign some autographs for admiring fans and students attending learn surf classes at Trigg beach.
