CONDITIONS: Three- to five- feet, straight offshore and perfect Sunset (not Kewalos)... In Memory of Ronnie Burns. What more could you ask for? OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: The Outer Island boys made a strong push with guys like Dusty Payne and Casey Brown dancing around Sunset Point's hollow yet rippable surf. But it was the North Shore's John John Florence edging out his Oahu counter-part Mason Ho for the win. All four of these brudda's qualify for the ASP Billabong World Junior Championships in Australia this January. HIGHLIGHTS: Mason Ho snatched the only perfect 10 of the contest in his round three heat against Nathan Rex, Dege O'Connell and Clay Marzo. He weaved through an incredibly deep right tube, exiting clean with a stylish cutback to boot. This was hands-down the best of his three barrels in that heat. During the final, "Two Johns" sat wide, away from the crowd and snagged barrel after barrel, managing to snub Ho's final flare up. |
