CBC surf team head for national titles CBC Fremantle students Alex McGuffin and Tom Corrie surfed almost perfect conditions to win the Junior Boys’ surfing division of the 2014 WA School Surfing Titles at Trigg Beach last Friday.

Big waves and a light breeze produced some solid surfing for the Year 9 duo, who will now go on to represent Western Australia at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles to be held in Yallingup in December.

The boys early morning training sessions paid off with Alex’s powerful forehand and backhand surfing and Tom’s skilled turns pushing the team total ahead of their closest rival, Newman College.

WA’s best school surfing talent competed in the prestigious event, involving 26 regional and metropolitan high schools, with more than 130 competitors and 60 teams of surfers and bodyboarders showing off their skills on the waves.

This is the first time CBC has reached the finals, and the boys are excited to be making history for their school.
