NSSA Hawaii held its Haleiwa contest on February 28 and March 1. Saturday’s event started off with wild winds and 2-3 foot surf. All of the Open divisions went off despite the howling winds and rain but the surfers made the waves look perfect. John Florence was killing it dropping 8’s and 9’s. Keanu Asing surfed amazingly throughout the contest dominating the field and scoring a triple win in Open Men’s, Open Juniors and Explorer Juniors!
As for our Women surfers, Hana Harrison claimed her first win in the Open Womens division. Alessa Quizon was also blowing up this weekend taking the victory in the Explorer Girls division as well as posting a perfect 10 in the Explorer Womens final which lead her to a win in that division. We also had a special guest on Saturday and Sunday. 11-time National Champion Carissa Moore came down to check out the Womens and Girls competition and also to support her little sister Cayla Moore! On Saturday, Kahanu Delovio was selected as our Surfco Surfer for the Weekend for always going out in her heats and then coming in with a BIG smile no matter how she did!
We are looking forward to seeing you all in a few weeks at the NSSA Hawaiian Regional Championships!
