SETH MONIZ RULED THE SUNSET LINEUP!
It was an awesome weekend at Sunset Beach for NSSA Hawaii event #6 as we started out the winter season with some pumping surf! We kicked the weekend off with our premier Open Divisions and competitors were pushing the envelope! The Open Mens final was a brotherly challenge between the talented Moniz’s. All three brothers made the finals and younger brother Seth was pulling out all the stops. Seth went on to take the victory while Josh took the runner up placing and Isaiah claimed the 3rd spot! Congrats to the Moniz brothers for always challenging each other! This was a first time in NSSA history to have three brothers take the top three spots in the prestigious Open Men’s division! Not only did youngest brother Seth step up to the plate with an impressive win in Open Men’s, he also sealed the victory in the Open Juniors.
BAILEY NAGY WAS ON FIRE IN OPEN WOMENS
In the Open Women’s, Bailey Nagy took the win while reigning National Open Girls Champion Dax McGill ripped to victory in the Explorer Womens. Another red-hot Hawaii grom is on the rise by the name of Wyatt McHale. Wyatt was tearing it up all weekend scoring an outstanding triple victory in the Open Mini Groms, Explorer Menehuenes and Explorer Super Groms. NSSA Hawaii would like to congratulate Zoe McDougall on her first big win in the Explorer Longboard! It was terrific to have a lot of newcomers to NSSA Hawaii at the Sunset event. Shawn Briley introduced his son Isaiah to the NSSA at this contest! Isaiah ended up making the final at his first NSSA contest and he was so amped. We were also so excited to see Torrey Meister’s little brother and sister at this event. Watch out at the Nationals because NSSA Hawaii has heaps of new hot groms coming in this 2011-12 season!
HOT GROM ON THE RISE WYATT MCHALE!
On a sad note, all of us at NSSA Hawaii bid a fond aloha to a dear NSSA dad. Mike Doherty you will truly be missed not only by NSSA Hawaii but by all of the NSSA. We love you Lani and Kulia!
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our event at Sunset Beach. And a big thank you to NSSA Hawaii sponsors: Mad Love, Xcel, Rockwell Watches, Surfco Hawaii, Bubble Gum, Aloha Kine, Kalani Robb, Novus Swell
