NSSA HAWAII CONFERENCE
OPEN AND EXPLORER EVENT #4
LAHAINA HARBOR, MAUI
SEPTEMBER 12-13, 2009
CONDITIONS: Perfect 3-4 foot surf!
By: Miko Parker
We had a great weekend at Lahaina Harbor on September 12-13 for the fourth stop of the NSSA Hawaii tour. It was the best contest of the season yet as we were blessed with epic 3-4 foot surf which allowed for some red-hot surfing throughout the two-day event. Both Lahiki Minamishin and Ka’oli Kahokuloa scored perfect 10’s with the head judge calling Lahiki’s wave the best ride of the season thus far. Alisha Gonsalves ripped her way through all of her heats to end up on top in both Open and Explorer Womens. There is some new blood in the Explorer Girls division with Kiana Fores taking her very first win. Tanner Hendrickson took command in his local turf claiming his second straight in the Open Men’s while also ripping his way to first place in the Explorer Men’s. In the Explorer Juniors Matty Costa and Tanner battled head-to-head with Matty coming out on top. Seth Moniz took the win in the Open Boys and Kaunaloa Ng put on some impressive moves to claim his second win of the season in the Mini Groms.
