Volcom Stone held its Pufferfish Surf Series event at Maile Point on Oahu's Westside. The surf was going off with solid 4-6 foot hundred yard long lefts coming off the point all day long. Rusty groms Eala Stewart, Barron Mamiya, Hunter Johnson, Luke Shepardson, Austin Vicente, and Mahina Maeda were in attendance for this event in hopes to qualify for the Crusty Champs at Newport Beach, California in May. They went off in the long Maile lefts, linking together radical turns and barrels to get the scores needed to advance. Luke, Barron, and Hunter surfed well in their opening round heats, but narrowly missed out on the Finals in their divisions. Eala and Austin surfed solid all day and placed 3rd and 4th respectively in the Groms Division Final. Mahina won the Girls Division Final over a stacked field, throwing down huge scores throughout the day and looking real comfortable in the well-overhead surf.
