Chanelle Botha : 4/4 - The Clean Sweep

So after the 3rd event in the 2013 Billabong Junior Series Presented by BOS, down in Kommetjie where I took my 3rd win of the series, I kind of said to my self if i could win all 4 of the events in the series that would be pretty cool, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but that was goal when I arrived in Seal Point 2 days before the series final.

Before I even paddled out for my Quarter Final, I had wrapped up the series, so I think that gave me more confidence heading into the event!

The contest was run in really fun 2 - 3 foot classic Seal Point, Our semis were held in onshore conditions, which surprisingly worked out pretty well, with the wave offering more of a lip, and I won my semi, to book myself a spot in my 4th Billabong final in 4 events, one step closer to the 4/4 goal I had set!

The final day the waves were a bit smaller but really clean and glassy, for once I got off to a quick start and opened with a 6.75 to take the lead which I backed up with a few average scores to take out my 4th win, I did it, 4 out of 4, I couldn't believe it, it really was a dream series for me :)

What made it even more special was I was the only surfer in the series to win all 4 events across any division, Not sure if that has been done before? But it felt good to achieve what i had set out to do.

Series Champion in the u/18 girls, and a 3rd place in the u/20 Girls series.

Hard work really does pay off!

From there I headed straight to J Bay for the SA Junior Champs, but that is a whole other blog.

Busy working on a new surf clip, watch this space :)
