HSA held event #6 of their surf series at Makaha. The waves were similar to the surf at the Rell Sunn Championships a couple of weeks prior. Peeling rights, 2-3 feet with offshore winds. Austin placed 5th in the Boys 12-14 Shortboard Division. With the Finals appearance, Austin moved up to 1st in the HSA Boys 12-14 Shortboard Ratings. Mahina won the Girls Shortboard Division. Both Austin and Mahina surfed excellent throughout the event.
After the event, Mahina and friend John Quizon got some waves out of the contest jersey to themselves.
