MIRA COSTA HIGH WINS RED BULL RIDERS CUP

Dane Zaun leads Mira Costa over San Dieguito for National Championship
CONDITIONS: A steep south swell produced chest to head high (4-6 foot) surf for competitors to work with. The wind cooperated and never really came into play as a major factor, allowing for clean, moderate-sized surf throughout the contest weekend.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The final. San Dieguito's 11th hour comeback against Mira Costa tied the score at the end of regulation and forced overtime. The extra period came down to the last set (again), and Mira Costa -- on the strength of MVP Dane Zaun's 8.5 wave score -- narrowly beat San Dieguito by just two points.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMERS:
Dane Zaun had a pretty good weekend. That is, if you think leading your high school team to the Red Bull Riders Cup National Championship, and winning Finals MVP and Most Radical Maneuver honors qualifies as "pretty good."
QUOTE:
"This was simply an amazing Championship, and exactly what the Red bull Riders Cup is all about. In the Finals we had two well-matched teams and a format that really allows the kids to show off and highlight their skills. It had it all - drama, suspense, disappointment, exhilaration and a nail-biting finale. This is why we do it." -- Brad Gerlach, National Surf League Founder
