VIS Future Talent athlete India Robinson won the Open Shortboard title at the 2019 SAE Group Australian Surf Championships over the weekend.
Having honed her forehand on the long right-handers of the Victorian Surf Coast, India felt right at home in the punchy right-handers on offer throughout the Open Women’s final. Robinson shone in the stacked final, performing a combination of mammoth carves and snaps in the heat to muster up a solid 15.70 two-wave heat total and leave her closest rival and fellow event standout Dimity Stoyle (Sunshine Coast, Qld) requiring an excellent 8.51 wave score to take away the top spot. As a result, Robinson claimed the victory.
“This is such a good feeling,” said Robinson
