No doubting Gold Coast talent

Thomas Woods is looming as the Gold Coast’s next big thing in world surfing.
The 18-year-old recently took out the annual Honolua Burleigh Boardriders single fin classic without losing a heat.
Burleigh’s youngest club champion narrowly edged out last year’s winner Paul Ward with another Burleigh boy James Lewis coming in third.
Woods said he had always wanted to compete in the event and was proud of his latest surfing achievement.
“That was the first time I’ve done the competition because I’ve always been away for it,” said the talented teen.
“It was just a fun sort of comp and I just got to go out there and relax and not take things to seriously.”
Woods is hoping he can continue his run of form heading into the opening rounds of this week’s ISA World Juniors Surfing Championship in New Zealand.
Thomas is ranked 17 in the ASP Australasia Junior Men’s ratings and won’t let a minor setback stop him from improving his rank in New Zealand.
“I’ve had tonsillitis and didn’t train for a week or so and I’ve only just got better so I haven’t been training too much because I don’t want to get sick again before I go,” he said.
“Last time I competed at this event in the under-16s and I think I came 11th so I’m definitely looking to put in a better performance this time around.
“After that I’m just going to do the Pro Juniors and try to get a couple of good results and make the World Juniors.”
Woods has also been granted a wildcard entry into the Breaka Burleigh Pro World Qualifying Series next month.
The wildcard guarantees Woods a spot alongside the world’s best professional surfers as they vie for $US85,000 ($92,000).

Performance Levels Rise On Day 5 At Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship
The 2010 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship continued to roll on today, with blue skies and clean conditions served up for a mixed bag of international talent in Piha, New Zealand.
The world’s hottest up-and-coming surfers utilised their full competition repertoires, blending rail-to-rail carves, with new-age, fins-free moves and an innovative aerial game in the fun 2-3ft (1m) beach break conditions on offer.
The main event podium was alive with exciting action from the opening siren, with the under 18 and 16 boy’s qualifying round three heats being run, before the under 18 and 16 boy’s repercharge three heats hit the water.
The second podium was also throwing out some futuristic action, with the opening three rounds of the under 18 girl’s repercharge being run ,as well as the qualifying round three of the girl’s division.
But there was no one more innovative than Brazilian whiz kid Jesse Mendes.
The electric goofy foot wreaked havoc in the clean conditions, busting out a variety of aerial moves to net one of the morning’s highest two-wave combined total (16.50).
Mendes, 17, got busy in peeling lefthanders, posting an 8.00 and 8.50 to easily defeat Tahiti’s Tamaroa McComb and France’s Ian Fontaine.
“I’m feeling good,” said Mendes. “That little left is working OK, but it’s not easy finding the waves that offer scoring potential. Once you do it is a great wave so you´ve got to be ready to rip when you get one. It’s a great left for goofy footers to do airs and strong moves.”
Mendes added he tried to keep moving in the talent-packed heat.
“I started the heat alright,” he said. “I got a medium score pretty fast, but there were lulls from time to time so it was important to keep moving all the time and catch the good waves.”
Team Brazil opted to bring only boys to compete in this year’s event.
“I actually don’t even know exactly what happened,” said Mendes. “The President changed in the federation, something like that… But I’m just here to win. It is sad yes, but the small team we have here is great. We feel really united and we´re giving the best for Brazil.”
Fellow Brazilian Gabriel Medina was just as impressive, controlling his heat from the onset, bagging a 6.00 and 7.50 in the opening exchanges of the 20-minute showdown.
Medina finishing with a 13.50 total to defeat France’s Kieran Bullard and Australian Tim MacDonald.
Newly crowned ASP Pro Junior champion Maxime Huscenot breezed through to qualifying round four despite riding a backup board.
“I’m in form, but this morning I was worried because I just broke my magic board which I was riding in Narrabeen last week,” he said. “I had to surf a board which I hadn’t ridden in two months and was scared of what was going to happen. But the board felt good and I’m stoked to get through.”
Peru’s Martin Jeri continued the high-octane onslaught, unleashing a barrage of moves to claim the morning’s highest individual wave score (8.75) in his qualifying round three under 18 boy’s heat.
Raglan ripper Ben Poulter is the sole New Zealand boy surfer remaining in the main qualifying round after squeezing through his third round under 16 boy’s heat this morning.
In a low scoring affair, Poulter hit back late in the 20-minute exchange, nailing a 6.50 to progress in second place behind Tahiti’s Tefaafana Arihoe.
Poulter was forced to hold off Hawaiian Kain Daly in the dying minutes of the heat, with the pair stuck in a paddle-battle until the final siren sounded.
“I’m so stoked,” said Poulter. “I was so relieved to get through the heat.” It was pretty intense for the last six or 7 minutes. But I had to do it. I felt pretty bad, but I’m so stoked to get through.”
Fellow New Zealand surfer Johnny Hicks (Gisborne) continued to fly the flag for the host nation, tasting victory in his under 18 boy’s repercharge round three heat.
Hicks was on fire from the outset, grabbing a 9.00 and backed it up with a 6.75 to defeat South Africa’s David Brand and Australia’s Wade Carmichael.
Unfortunately for Carmichael he was eliminated from the event.
“It’s the best heat I’ve had all contest,” said Hicks. “It felt like everyone was cheering for me. It felt unreal.”
Japan ace Hiroti Arai did his nation proud taking down USA surfer Parker Coffin and Australia’s Creed McTaggart in the last heat of the under 16 boy’s qualifying round three heat.
“I’m trying my best as a Japanese representative,” said Arai. “I got one good wave and made it count. I’m very happy.”
Defending ISA World Junior Surfing champion Keanu Aising got his campaign back on track, top scoring for the day in his repercharge round three heat.
Aising posting the day’s highest individual wave score (9.25) and two-wave combined total (17.50) to book a spot in the next repercharge round.
“It’s amazing, I’m so happy,” said Aising. “I couldn’t believe I got such a high score. In the other heats I couldn’t get over a 5 so I’m really happy.”
The girl’s showcased their talents on podium two, with Australia’s Felicity Palmateer and Tyler Wright, South Africa’s Sarah Baum and Hawaii’s Malia Manuel taking wins in the under 18 girl’s qualifying round three.
Repercharge three of the under 18 girl’s also saw some explosive surfing with Johanne Defay (France), Leila Hurst (Haw), Garazi Sanchez (Spain) and Ellie-Jean Coffey (Australia) enjoying wins.
The afternoon’s action was just as action packed on the main podium with Jarred Veldhius (ZAF), Martin Jeri (Peru), Tane Wallis (NZL), Natxo Gonzalez (Spain) and Brazil’s Lucas Siveira and Luan Wood notching victories.
Competition will continue tomorrow with an expected swell increase overnight.
And there is surf too……………………..
