Stop #2 of 4 the part Sun Diego Am Slam Surf Series presented by Oneill made its way down the coast to Mission Beach on Saturday. Competitors and spectators alike were greeted with weather in the 80's and an unexpected 1-3 ft. windswell in the water. Although, the forecast looked bleak, competitors were just stoked to have something to surf on! By the time of the finals the waves had actually improved quite bit, with shoulder high waves making their way into Mission Beach. Overall, the performance levels were high all day. There were a few surfers that were head and shoulders above the rest! Levi Slawson made the Men's and Boy's final and was ripping everything that came his way. Roberto Rodrigues was throwing his small frame everywhere and coming down with the maneuvers of the event more often than not. Also, Jack Boyes from Huntington Beach surfed very strong all day, despite the meager surf and earned himself $800. Pro division winner Krystian Kymerson was the last alternate into the event. He took his shot and was the stand-out of the day, winning every heat he surfed except one. Consistently going vert on his backhand and blowing fins on his forehand, the Brazilian worked hard and deserved all $1600 of his first place check. Other Standouts include Sun Diego team riders Brock Crouch and Caleb Crozier who won the Men’s and Boy’s divisions as well as Sydney Tisdel who was the women’s division winner!
