Marine Mammel Surf Festival

JULY 21 2010

On July 24th 2010 Nor-Cal Surf Shop will host the Third Annual Marine Mammal Surf Festival to raise awareness of the mass slaughtering of dolphins and whales in Japan, Norway and Iceland. All money raised will be given back to Dave Rastovich’s non-profit organization, Surfers for Cetaceans.

Vie for the trophy (as seen in the latest Surfers Journal) by entering your own 4 person team. Name your team and sign up through NorCal Surf Shop by bringing in or mailing the entry form attached with your payment enclosed to ensure your slot in the event.

We are asking for 50 dollars per competitor for the unique chance to give back to what we all love by saving dolphins and whales from cruel slaughter in their own habitat.

In lieu of entering the competition, donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated. Go to www.s4cglobal.org to make a contribution and for more information on the fight against dolphin and whale slaughter.

Rip Curl Grom Search

JULY 14 2010

Rip Curl Grom Surf Comp / Hawaii

Story and pics on Surfline

CONDITIONS: It was pretty much perfect, summertime surf for a grommet contest. Oahu's top youngsters chased down ultra-coveted invites to the Finals in Puerto Rico later this year.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE: Nobody wanted it more than Ezekiel Lau. Surfing his homebreak, Zeke looked unbeatable, following a no-grab air reverse with 10-point bomb. Hands down the guy to watch at Kewalos over the weekend. Zeke got the invite and cash prizes for the event's best maneuver and highest heat total.

Seth Moniz frustrated the 14/under and 12/under divisions, edging out Koa Smith, Kain Daly, Kaulana Apo, Imai Devault, and Noa Mizuno for double crowns.

RESULTS:

BOYS 16/under: 1. Ezekiel Lau 2. Kaoli Kahokuloa 3. Dylan Kowalski 4. Cole Yamakawa

BOYS 14/under: 1. Seth Moniz 2. Josh Moniz 3. Koa Smith 4. Kain Daly

BOYS 12/under: 1. Seth Moniz 2. Kualana Apo 3. Imai Devault 4. Noa Mizuno

GIRLS 16/under: 1. Makani Adric 2. Mahina Maeda 3. Cayla Moore 4. Brianna Cope

ASL Photographer Andrew Shield was on hand documenting the session and confirmed the nasty accident. 'He tucked into a super dredgy one and just disappeared inside, then showed up bobbing around in the whitewash. He was definitely in a lot of pain. There were no rocks where he went down so he must have gotten mixed up with his board.'Shieldsy was doubtful the reigning J-Bay champ would be able to surf next week in South Africa. 'He was cut down to the bone around his ankle and calf area. He definitely wasn't walking.' Andy Irons (who broke his board hours earlier) assisted Parko up the..."
