❝It was fun to compete in a team instead of as an individual. ❞ Burrow was equally excited about surfing for Yallingup. Taj Burrow on the job for Yallingup “I couldn’t be more proud to represent Yallingup. It was fun to compete in a team instead of as an individual for a change. “Whilst I haven’t had to do it in a coloured vest for a while, it’s really great to be part of a great club like Yallingup.” In total, $105,000 is up for grabs across the entire National Series including the National Final. There is $30,000 available across the seven State qualifying events, while $75,000 will be split between the 16 clubs that make the National Final. Each club team of seven includes two juniors (1 male and 1 female), four Open age surfers (3 male and 1 female) and one over 35 surfer (male or female). The exciting event format has seen club teams battle it out in Pairs competition, five-person Teams competition and a Skins competition. The National Final will include a lucrative, winner-take-all Skins format across 10 heats with a $1000 jackpot in each heat.
