Hannah Trypas, Justin McMorland and Amelia Johnson from Swansea-Belmont; Gabrielle Grieves from Caves Beach and Karly Falzon and Jye Lehman from Catherine Hill Bay have all been named in the team.
Their selection came after a season of strong results, performing among their age group's best.
As the state's best competitors, the team will gather for a weekend of training and analysis at the elite Australian Surfing High Performance Centre in Casuarina.
The camp also helps state coaches develop an insight of the abilities of the athletes ahead of the Interstate Championship in January.
