Hobart/Tasmania (Sunday 27th August, 2023): FifteenState Champions were crowned last night at ‘Manky Sally’s’ in the heart of Salamanca Place when the state’s best competitive surfers attended Surfing Tasmania’s Annual Presentation Night.
In a huge season it was young guns Ava Carlton and Sienna Lawrence who headed up the Open Women’s Division whilst in the Open Men’s it was the North’s Icon Jy Johannesen who just snuck past former World Qualifying Series stalwart Benn Richardson to add another State Championship trophy to his cabinet.
With nearly eighty in attendance the night was a celebration of Surfing as a whole in Tasmania with the state’s governing body having a year like no other as partnerships flourished and event participation grew to new heights.
Surfing Tasmania Co Events Manager Leanne Johannesen said: ” It’s been a bumper year and we have seen some amazing surfing with participation levels swelling to new heights. We can see the future is bright for Surfing in Tasmania and look forward to another huge season! Congrats to all our winners, volunteers and events staff on a stellar job!”
