NSSA

                 This weekend I competed in the first NSSA event of the Mid-Atlantic season in Wrightsville Beach. It's a rare thing to have waves for a contest on the East Coast but thanks to tropical storm Leslie, the waves were actually really fun and I was able to take 1st place in Explorer Womens and Open Womens.

Hurricane Season- Part 1

With hurricane season underway Tropical Storm Isaac has already sent some fun waves to most of the east coast. So our hopes are high for the next couple months to have a good run of waves after a lack luster summer. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Darsha and I were recently in Southern California for a couple contests, we were both alternates for the Jr. Pro at the U.S Open but neither of us got in. Darsha also surfed in the Surfing America Prime at Del Mar Jetty and got second! Besides contests we were posted up at lowers almost the whole time watching the worlds best go insane and trying not to get runover. It was a pretty amazing trip and we also got some video from Dale Pigford. Look forward to that coming out soon.

Chris Crocker Memorial Surf Off

       Well Last weekend we had the Chris Crocker Memorial Surf Off! Shane, Darsha, and Myself all competed in it. On the Final day we had fun stomach high waves. I ended up winning 16 and under and Open Shortboard but just losing behind Shane in the Airshow. Darsha got third in the 16 and under(with the boys). Shane ended up making 300 Dollars in airshow and I made 450 dollars in open and airshow total. Overall a great contest and thanks to everyone who sponsored it and helped out!

Steel Pier Classic

It's been a little while but over Memorial Day weekend Shane and I went up to Virginia Beach for the Steel Pier Classic and Art show while Tyler had to stay home and work at his new job. The waves were suprisingly fun and we ended up with good results. Shane got second in Mens Shortboard and first in Open Shortboard and I got second in Womens Shortboard. It was a good contest and a fun weekend.

As you can assume since it was a contest on the east coast it was flat as a lake but some miniature ripping went down and here are some of my favorite photos from the four day event.
