HSA was finally able to hold event #5 of their surf series after being skunked with no surf last weekend. The lefts were firing today, reaching 3-5 feet Hawaiian scale on the sets. The Rusty groms put on a show, selecting good waves and surfing well throughout the event. Austin, Hunter, and Mahina all made the Finals in their respective divisions. Austin Vicente took the Win in the Boys 12-14 Division. He picked off the set waves and his surfing delivered, topping a stacked Boys Final edging out Kaoli Kahakuloa for the win. Hunter Johnson finished not too far behind, placing 4th Place in the Final with Austin and Kaoli. Rusty girl Mahina Maeda placed 3rd in the Girls Shortboard Division. She surfed awesome in her heats, but could not find the crucial second scoring wave needed in the Final. Great Job Today Hunter, Austin, and Mahina!
Boys 12-14 Finalists: Austin-1st Hunter-4th
