Victorian Junior Surfing Team returns to Wollongong for Australian Junior Surfing Titles

Surfing Victoria is proud to announce the 2025 Victorian Junior Surfing Team presented by Surf Better Now that is set to compete at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles at Wollongong next week.

Held in Wollongong in NSW, the 7 day event will feature over 180 competitors from across the country. Originally scheduled for South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula in late November, the decision was made to relocate due to the unpredictability of conditions associated with the algal bloom. 

31 of Victoria’s top junior surfers will compete across the event led by current Under 18 Victorian State Champions Jarvis Barrow (Jan Juc) and Ava Holland (Dromana). They will be joined by George Everist (Mornington Peninsula), Rose Holland (Mornington Peninsula), Teddy Robertson (Torquay) and Estella Carbonelli (Jan Juc) as top seeds from Victoria.

“Representing Victoria at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles is something truly special,” said Surfing Victoria CEO Adam Robertson.

“Our athletes have put in the hard work, and I can’t wait to see them rise to the challenge in Wollongong. I’ve got no doubt they’ll give it everything they’ve got and do the state proud.”

The Opening Ceremony will be Friday November 28th with surfing to begin on Saturday November 29th. The event will be completed on Friday December 5th.

Surfers will compete in individual divisions including Under 14, 16 and 18 age groups along with the prestigious MR Shield School divisions.
