Congrats go out to Quiksilvers 9yr old Santa Cruz ripper Johnny Mel who has been on a competitive tear lately. Most recently making the drive down south to HB Pier to claim victory in the NSSA Open Mini Groms and surfed up against the older kids to net a 4th place in Open Boys.

Mavericks recently announced that the official waiting period for The 2009/2010 Mavericks Surf Contest will open on November 1st. Mavericks CEO Keir J. Beadling summed up the excitement, saying, “We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s big-wave contest season will begin earlier than ever before. We have long understood the importance of increasing the size of the contest window, but haven’t been able to do so." The announcement was especially meaningful to those who surf Mavericks. After watching the last contest season come and go without any contestable surf, competitors are more eager than ever for the 2009/2010 contest season to begin.

Omar Etcheverry recently did a project with a Santa Cruz local nonprofit organization for surf kids called the Core. Had a bunch of companies sponsor it.
