“The Pro Junior at Newcastle was called off due to reports off sharks at one of Newcastle’s back beaches close to the contest site,” says photog Zac Heath of yesterday’s drama. “This didn’t stop competitors from taking to an incoming swell and the first decent banks we’ve had in a long time. The banks where quickly packed with guys until a shark alarm went off at Dixon Park and surfers came scrambling in. Jack Robertson and Yamba surfer Chris Zaffis stayed out scoring a rare uncrowded lineup. But after a few more waves, both came darting in. Chris said that there was a giant dark shadow sitting right next to him and Robbo said it was easily four metres. Both of the boys where pretty rattled and you know its something serious when two surfers from notoriously shaky areas in WA and Angourie, are calling it a day.”
