Top seeds tumble as the competition heats up at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships

Day four of the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships saw the entire third round completed, of the boys division, in excellent conditions at North Narrabeen.

Again the duo of Tamaroa McComb (PYF/Gold Coast, QLD) and Julian Wilson (Coolum, QLD) shone the brightest – gouging and flying over the competition with flair.

With excellent conditions again the centrepiece for an amazing day of action, Lincoln Taylor (North Stradbroke, QLD) was in scintillating form – racking up the highest single wave score of the event with a 9.60 (out of a possible 10). Attacking the one metre conditions with power and flair, Taylor buried his rail at every opportunity.

With the demise of favourites Dusty Payne (HAW), Sebastien Zeitz (HAW) and Owen Wright (Culburra, NSW) the international contingent was on song on day four.

16-year-old Maxime Huscenot (FRA), Marc Lacomare (FRA) and Alex Ribeiro (BRA) all out pointed their more fancied opponents in round three – flying their respective flags with pride, passion and skill.
