South Bay Boardriders Contest #2 Sponsored by Body Glove

This last weekend was the second contest in a series of 5 held by the South Bay Boardriders Contest Sponsored by Body Glove held at El Porto. It was great to see some old time faces from the past. Good times!

A couple shout outs and congrats to Becca Rosen (2nd) and Rachel Tominaga (3rd) riding custom Oak Foils in the Women’s Open Division. Competing in two divisions Rachel also made the finals of the 18 and under and was awarded 3rd place. Also Chris Wells did well by advancing through a few heats into repo charge in the Men’s Open division.

The line-up was a tricky one as I watched alot of veterans make the same mistake by lining up in wrong area. All in all despite the forecast the morning started out sunny and clear, ultimately the rains came later in the day but the contest ended on a good note.

The next contest will be March 12 sponsored by Pier Surf and held at 26st Manhattan Beach (changed from Hermosa Pier). Subsequent contests are set for April 16 at 45th Street in Manhattan, sponsored by Surf Concepts; and May 21 at the Manhattan Pier, sponsored by Spyder Surf.

UPDATE;
Dear competitors contest #3, Pier Surf at 26th Street Manhattan Beach is fast approaching on MARCH 12th. To clear up any confusion the location is at 26th Street in Manhattan Beach. We could not get a permit with Hermosa Beach as this is the same day as the St. Patrick's parade. Waves should be better at 26th street so we are stoked with this location. Hope to see you at the contest and thanks for entering in the past.

Thanks,
