Jason Robinson has a rad blog that follows his friends and himself riding, have fun, and doing what they love. Wither it’s just them lapping the chair at Boreal or if its heading up to Seattle for the “Downtown Throwdown”, he does a great job just putting up good, fun content that makes you want to go out and shred. Here is a link to his blog.
This past weekend on October 24-25 down at Oceanside Pier on the northside was NSSA’s Open season #4. The waves were small but fun shaped and the team was ripping. Luke Davis was in typical form on Sat but he is so punk rock that he chose not to show up on Sun the final day.
Parker and Kanoa were standouts as well. As expected they surf themselves into the finals. Kanoa got 2nd in the Open boys division and Parker got 3rd in the Open juniors and won his 1st Open mens division event.
Check back for the video later on this week showing the guys blowing up.
Kanoa 2nd place Open boys division
Parker Coffin 3rd place Open juniors and 1st place Open Mens
