Airini Mason claimed the 2010 ASP Australasian Pro Junior Series over the weekend after placing seventh at the final event of the year.
“It feels great to win a second ASP Australasian Pro Junior Series title and get the chance to compete for a World Title again” said Mason who has now won this prestigious series twice.
“I last won the series in 2006 and haven’t been competing full-time on juniors for the past few years as my focus has been on the WQS. However the incentive of competing for a World Title, especially with an event in Bali made me decide to do all the junior events this year.
“I’m really looking forward to competing in Bali and Narrabeen and hopefully I can win a World Title as it is every surfers dream.”
Oddly it was the losing performance of younger sister Sarah Mason (Casuarina/NSW) being eliminated in her round three heat which left her older sister Airini Mason as the undisputed series champion for 2010.
Airini was also to suffer a shock exit from the event losing in the quarterfinals only two heats later.
The consequence of the final event results is that Airini Mason and West Australia’s Felicity Palmeteer are the qualifiers for the ASP World Pro Junior Championship Series.
