A NEW CLASS OF HUNGRY HAWAIIAN MINI GROMS FOR THE 2011-12 SEASON!
It was another beautiful day on the island of Kauai for the NSSA HAWAII event #3 of the 2011-12 season. The contest was held on the south side of the island at a place called PK’s. Weather and surf conditions couldn’t have been better with as the waves were firing with perfect 2-3 foot surf on offer for our competitors. Kids of all ages showed off their talent this weekend in the fun, rippable conditions. At this contest which was the first Kauai contest on the schedule, we witnessed an amazing new set of younger competitors. It was great to see all these young aspiring surfers come out and jump aboard the NSSA train. Newcomer Kainehe Hunt showed off his skills and knowledge of the break taking his first NSSA victory in the Mini Grom division.

NSSA HAWAII would like to welcome back Luke Hitchcock this year after a one year absence. Luke was excited to be back in action and proved it by taking an impressive victory in the Open Men’s final. and took his first win of the season in the Open Mens division. Kids all ages showed off their talent this weekend. The standout in the Women’s category was Brianna Cope who swept both wins in the Open and Explorer divisions. In the younger female categories, Mahina Maeda came out firing on all cylinders at PK’s taking both wins in the Open and Explorer Girls 14 & under divisions. Mahina continues to prove herself as one of the top young female talents in the country considering her impressive triple finals appearances at the 2011 Nationals including an outstanding 3rd place finish in the prestigious Open Womens division. In the Longboard division, Natalia Smith killed it with her clean maneuvers and smooth style scoring the double win in both the Open and Explorer finals. It was surely an inspiring weekend of performance surfing for all the NSSA Hawaii girls because they were red-hot in the double victories column! So congrats ladies! NSSA HAWAII would like to thank Aunty Jodi, Aunty Amy and Aunty Lauren and Uncle Danny for all their help and support!

NSSA Hawaii Sponsors: Xcel, Rockwell, Aloha Kine, Bubble Gum, Kalani Robb, Surfco Hawaii and ASP Hawaii.
