Teenage ripper Lucy Callister found herself in the daunting position of coming up against former WSL Championship Tour (CT) competitor Pauline Ado. Callister waited patiently until taking two right-handers in a row that both offered a clean open wall for the young Queenslander to go to town on, posting a modest Heat total of 13.25 (out of a possible 20) to win the heat. “It was a slow start for everyone in that heat, you really had to get lucky,” Callister said. “I was pretty nervous about coming up against Pauline Ado, she rips so hard, anything could have happened. I’m really happy I was in the spot for a couple of good waves.”
