Rusty Riders Mahina, Barron, Hunter, and Austin are competing in the NSSA Hawaii Regional Championships this weekend. The event has had contestable surf in the solid 1-2 foot Hawaiin Style Scale range at "the Point" at Kewalos Basin. Saturday and Sunday saw the completion of the Open Divisions and the preliminary rounds of the Explorer Divisions. Monday will see the finals of the Explorer Divisions and Air Show and Awards Banquet at the beach. Austin and Hunter surfed solid in their heats in the Explorer Juniors and Explorer Menehune Divisions respectively, but couldn't find a 2nd scoring wave in their heats to advance. Barron made the Open Mini-Groms Final. He surfed his Final this morning and made the most of the inside left reforms, scoring a reeling left hander in the dying minutes of the heat and hacking away. Mahina made the Finals for all 3 of her Divisions (Open Womens, Explorer Womens, Explorer Girls) this weekend! Can't wait to see Finals Heats surfing and hear Results tomorrow. Keep you posted. Photos to come!
