The Local Motion Surf Into Summer presented by Billabong finished off the three day holiday weekend at the Ala Moana Bowl with head high surf, tons of prizes and burgers on the beach for all the contestants in wrapping up the biggest amateur contest in Hawaii.
When all was said and done, 84 stoked-out surfers went home with trophy
and goody bag in hand and another successful event brought in the
summer surfing competition with some high paced energy in the water.
Leading the charge was Brennan Boudreau from Makakilo, taking top
honors in the Open Men with the north shore's Kiron Jabour winning the
prestigous Junior division.
For Jabour, it was just another
feather in his cap as he took control of the final against a very
strong field of competitors including the high profile John John
Florence (2nd), "big air" specialist Kainoa Haas (3rd), westside's
Hizon Linkee Jr. (4th), Jedidiah Pacheco (5th) and Kapu Ping (6th)
respectively.
As for Broudreau, summer will be filled with
competition as the local boy gets ready to add trophies to his shelf
with at least eight more events coming up. In the Boys division, the
next generation of Aikau's rose to the occasion as Ha'a Aikau took top
honors with gouging top turns on each of his two highest scoring rides,
followed by Makai McNamara (2nd) and Ezekiel Lau (3rd).
As
always, the Menehune competitors made the most of the head high surf
and at times it seemed the sets were close to double overhead. Joshua
Moniz took down the field followed by younger brother Seth Moniz,
Kalani David, Ivan Florence, Landon McNamara and Kaulana Apo to round
out the final. With the event completed, summer surfing is here on the
south shore and we're all hoping for a good season of waves.
