Piha Beach, New Zealand- For the 5th consecutive year, team Australia wins gold at the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Champions in New Zealand. For the Aussies this is their sixth overall victory in the eight-year existence of the ISA WJSC.

Trailing the Hawaiians on the last day, the Aussies rallied from behind on the backs of the winners of the Girls under 18 division Tyler Wright, and the Boys under 16 division Matt Banting.

After seeming to be in the driver seat for most of the competition Team Hawaii finished second, while after a disappointing day 7 team USA settled for third.
