Barbados

History Written for Barbados Surfing in Florida, USA

By Rachel Roett – Barbados Surfing Association - www.bsasurf.net

At the recent Rip Curl GromSearch in Florida the top 3 Barbadian Female Surfers dominated the Girls Under 16 division with Chelsea Roett winning 1^st, Chelsea Tuach 2^nd and Ametza Nicholls taking 3^rd place.

A milestone was made for Barbados at this event, as Chelsea Roett became the first Barbadian Female surfer to win a Surfing competition outside of the Caribbean Region.

In the Boys Under 12 Dane Mackie was edged into 2^nd place after the closest final of the day.

All four of these talented juniors have earned coveted spots as a result of their credible performance in Florida to compete at the National Rip Curl GromSearch Finals in Salt Creek, California on November 14th 2009.
