Axe and Tai impress in England

BROTHERS Axe and Tai Garrett had commendable performances at the recent Rip Curl Junior Grom Search surfing contest at the Newquay beach in England.

Axe, a 14-year-old student at Lester Vaughan, placed third among the Under-14 boys and got to the semi-finals in the Under-16 category to log his best surf competition result to date.

Tai, 11, who is also a Lester Vaughan student, reached the semi-finals in the Under-12 division in his first big international event.

It was the first time Tai was surfing in freezing cold water, wearing a wet suit and travelling outside Barbados without his parents. (EZS)
