Junior Surfers Ready To Rumble At The 2010 Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage!

September 14th, 2010

Reigning 16 and Under Boys Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage champion Noa Deane (Coolangatta, Qld) will be back this weekend to defend his title on the Gold Coast.

Gold Coast Queensland, Tuesday 14th September, 2010: TEENAGE surfers from across the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales will converge on Duranbah Beach this weekend for the annual Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage.

Running from September 18-19, the ever popular Gold Coast Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage will see upwards of 80 competitors take to the waves during the two-day event.

In the quest to discover Australia’s next young surfing talent, the Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage provides a participation focused approach to the traditional junior surfing event.

Contrary to the cutthroat nature of traditional surfing competitions, the Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage allows competitors to surf three heats without elimination.

Developed in conjunction with former Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour competitor Phil Macdonald (Tomakin, NSW), the Teenage Rampage was a concept developed to promote confidence, fun and provide valuable experience for Australia’s budding surf stars.

After overwhelming demand, Ocean & Earth added an extra Teenage Rampage to their Queensland schedule with the Queensland leg of the national series now boasting two events – Gold Coast September 18-19 and Sunshine Coast September 25.

The Gold Coast Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage is open to competitors living south of the Brisbane River and north or the Richmond River.

The Sunshine Coast Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage is open to competitors living north or the Brisbane River.

Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage divisions:

16 and Under Boys – Top four qualify for international Teenage Rampage final

16 and Under Girls – Top two qualify for international Teenage Rampage final

13 and Under Boys – Top four qualify for international Teenage Rampage final

The top four surfers in each male division and the top two surfers in each female division will qualify for the Ocean & Earth international Teenage Rampage final at Cronulla Beach (NSW) in January next year.
