NSSA Turtle Bay Nov 7-8 : Barron Wins!
This past weekend, NSSA Hawaii held an event at Turtle Bay Poolside. The waves were about 3-6 feet and offered contestable conditions for the surfers. Turnout was good and NSSA produced yet another "full" event.
Barron Mamiya claimed yet another event win, taking the Open MiniGroms Win over a stacked field of groms. I told you guys he rips! Mahina made it to the Repo of Explorer Womens before getting knocked out of advancing position in a closely contested heat. Hunter got 4th in the Explorer Menehune Finals. Eala and Austin fell victim to the conditions and could not find the waves offering scoring potential needed to advance. All in all, it was a good weekend and the kids will look forward to bettering their results at the next NSSA at Pinetrees, Kauai in January 2010.
