Explorer Menehune, Boys, Juniors and Mens…no stoppin' till we have finals.
The portable generators are purring, the extra porta-potties are up and waiting, the camera men are poised, and the crowds are-well, it's Lowers, they're always there, but this time they're all on the beach.
Tears, bench clearing brawls, a tie settled with a walk off, whoops, I mean surf-off, and tons of very sophisticated shredding. And to think this is just the scholastic appetizer for next weeks' individual National Championships.
Well it's official. The San Clemente Tritons are the best surf team in southern California. After taking out the Newport Harbor Sailors, the Huntington Beach Oilers and the Carlsbad Lancers, Coach John Dowell, team Captain Tanner Gudauskas and eleven other ripping young teammates got to drink from the coveted Cup Saturday in Huntington Beach.
What started as two day, 96-man contest, all boiled down to a 16-man shootout Sunday afternoon with a young, relatively unknown surfer named Matt McCabe of Ventura, California winning the inaugural No Fear Punk Pro-Am at D Street in Encinitas, California.
After an action packed weekend in San Clemente, San Clemente and Carlsbad will go head to head for the National Surf League's High School Cup this Saturday at the Huntington Beach Pier.
In front of thousands of beachgoers, spectators, and PB partiers, the grommets didn't let any distractions get in the way of dismantling each and every unsuspecting wave that came their way on June 3.
Chest-high pulsing rights, 90 degree weather, Brian Toth on the mic, a dj on hand to pump the raggaeton beats, and a crop of Puerto Rico's finest groms: The first event of the 2006 GromSearch series went down this weekend with all key ingredients for an epic comp.
Rip Curl is forever on the Search for surfing's hottest future stars. The GromSearch Series is our window into the grommet world and we want the world's best youngsters to get involved. Despite two chances to convert heat advancements into medals Cory Arrambide and Courtney Conlogue couldn’t pull it off both finishing third in their last chance repercharge heats after losing earlier in the day in the winners bracket. Both went to the last day without a loss an achievement in itself but not enough to get a medal.
