Stop #3 of the Sun Diego Am Slam Surf Series Presented by O'Neill kicked off at PB Drive in Pacific Beach in small beachbreak conditions and beautiful weather!!! All the competitors did well making the small conditions look fun and contestable. There were considerable performances all day in every division.

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. Picturesque views from the shore. Canopies in effect! The quiver of surfboards between heats. Groms sharing a little party wave action. Team rider Ryan Martin takes a break on shore. Things wound down and everyone gathered 'round to see who made the podium and whose hands would cary the big check. Groms look on in envy as the little man takes home the prize! Just kidding. Mick Davey took first place in the boy's division. Jacob Szekely was on point in the Mens division and took his second title in a row! Bethany Zelasko took down our largest Womens field to date, with Sidney Tisdel taking the runner up spot. Ethan Grant surfed great all day making two finals and taking home the Juniors title. 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. All in all it was a great day with awesome prizes and great surfing! Thanks to all of our sponsors: Sun Diego, O'Neill, Nixon, Spy, DaKine, ...Lost, Toyota of Carlsbad, Surface, Mizu, Captain Fin, Xsories, and Flippin Pizza for their amazing support!
