There was rainbows, rain, and sunshine on the south side of the island Kauai. The contest was held at a local spot called PK's. It never rains on the south side in the middle of July but on Saturday July 11th NSSA Hawaii was being blessed. The surf was not that big at 1-2 feet but it was still shreddable. The small surf didn't stop Luke Hitchcock from throwing down 9's and 10's. He also had the highest scoring wave of the contest. Brianna Cope stepped up her game ripping her way to the Explorer Women’s final and taking her first win! Bailey Nagy, an Oahu girl, took her first win in the Explorer Girls. It came as no surprise that Seth Moniz destroyed the Open Boys and Explorer Menehuene finals scoring the double win. Kauai north shore local boy Kyle Galtes claimed a south shore double victory in the Explorer Mens and Explorer Juniors while taking a second to Ezekiel Lau in the Open Mens. And speaking of Ezekial, our newly crowned National Open Juniors champion has a new good luck charm: HIS HAIR!!! Ezekial wasted no time after his sensational Nationals performance taking a huge triumph in the Open Men’s.
NSSA Hawaii would like to thank The Beach House Restaurant, Kuhio Shores, and most of all Aunty Jody Stillwell.
