The surfing action was hotter than ever at North Stradbroke Island on Thursday, with Day 3 of the ASP Grade-5 Oakley Pro Junior being run in 2-3 foot  waves at Main Beach.

After a delayed start, the world’s hottest teenagers went toe-to-toe in the race for the final 24 spots in the draw, shredding their way through Round 3.

Wearing a bright red rash guard surf shirt and blue board shorts,  Australian ace Owen Wright is on track for back-to-back ASP Pro Junior victories after eliminating fellow Australian Mitch Crews and highly-rated Frenchman Marc Lacomare from the $30,000 tournament.

Wright, a blonde-haired goofy-footer , ripped it up, netting a 7.25 and a 6.50 to finish with a heat-winning total of 13.75 (out of a possible 20), compared to runner-up James Woods’ 12.40.

“I’m stoked to go left for a change,” Wright said. “We had small right-handers for the opening event of the series, so I’m happy to get some punchy lefts. Hopefully there will be a few barrels for the last two days of competition.”
