Felicity Palmeteer won her third Association of Surfing Professionals Pro Junior event of the year taking out today's Fantastic Noodles Pro Junior in good 1m surf at Middleton Beach.

In a see-sawing high scoring and close final Floss won on a final score of 15.00 out of a possible 20 to Airini Mason on 14.65.


"It's been a great year for me and to win three of these events is quite surprising as I'm combining World Qualifying Series events as well" said Felicity.

"It was an exciting final out there today with the lead changing and toward the end I was nervous as Airini tried to chase down the score - It was a relief when the siren sounded and it was over."

Mason looked set to control the final early when she posted an excellent 8.6 ride which was the highest scoring ride in the final but she was unable to back that score up with a decent required second scoring ride while Palmeteer caught an 8.00 and 7.00 point rides to secure the win.

Just one event remains in the Pro Junior Women's series and that will run in Sydney next month. This event forms a crucial leg of the ASP Australasian Pro Junior circuit whereby professional surfers aged under 21 compete for points and prize money in a bid to become the Australasian Junior Champion and ultimately the World Junior Champion.

Felicity currently sits at second in the rankings. Congrats Floss!
