Waves weren't the towering variety seen recently at Teahupo'o, but everyone made the best of what arrived and some great surfing went down throughout the day.

IMG_1820 IMG_1833 Ethan Grant surfed great all day making two finals and taking home the Juniors title. IMG_1800 No one, however, pro or amateur, could touch Nate Yeomans. Obviously still feeling confident from his quarterfinal finish at the US Open, the goofyfoot from San Clemente laid waste to the field.  Riding  a new ...Lost  V3 with Black dart technology, it was  "...One of the fastest boards I've ever ridden." said Yeomans. He took the $1600 payday and much needed diaper money for the two kiddos at home. untitled (163 of 168)-X2 IMG_1851 IMG_1879 All in all it was a great day with awesome prizes and great surfing!
