The rugged West Coast surf conditions wreaked havoc on day two of at the ISA junior world championships in Piha, with the wild weather forcing the cancellation of some events.
Only the under 18 boys’ competitors took to the surf yesterday, battling large seas and strong winds in qualifying round two.
With gusting winds and big swells lashing the main contest site, competition organisers opted to can the opening round heats in the girls competition, while the under 16 boys second round of qualifying was also abandoned. And organisers are again unlikely to get through a full day’s surfing programme today, with even bigger waves and stronger winds forecast.
