NSSA HAWAII 5* RVCA PRESENTED AT TURTLE BAY RESORT

Since the holidays and huge surf we finally had a contest… We were proud to start off the New Year with an amazing contest at Turtle Bay Resort! It was a warm sunny weekend with 2-3 foot surf.

On Saturday we had to run double heats for half of a day with our Open Mini Groms, Expl Girls, Open Longboard, Expl Longboard running all the way to the finals at middles. We also had to run our first rounds of Open Boys, Expl, Boys and Expl Menehunes. For our stand outs this weekend we had a big first time win for Kona Oliveira in the Open Mini Groms, Dax McGill in the Expl Girls and Dylan Aoki-Walsh in the Expl Boys. As for our open divisions it was held at the main break POOLSIDE. There was outstanding surfing coming from the Carvalho brothers which both made finals in their divisions. Also Malia Maunel showed her power moves with a win in the Open Womens and 2nd in the Expl. Women With all this surfing NSSA HAWAII and the surfer wants to thank Wahoo’s for the yummy food!
