Sean Strickland, straight from Amarillo, TX, had never been surfing before and was crushing it!
We had to convince him to get out of the water…Tasty carne and fish tacos from Cessy’s with cervezas all around from Landshark filled our aching bellies for the afternoon.
Delicious dish Harney Sushi in Oceanside hooked it up huge for a private room for us in the back for a party. The saki bombs keep a flowin’ for an entertaining evening…

May 4-8, 2010 was the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro WQS 6* Prime event held in San Clemente CA at Lower Trestles. Along with this contest there was also a grade 2 Oakley Pro Junior event.
The Spy surfers at this event were Dean Morrison, John Florence and Torrey Meister. In the Juniors event there were Tyler Newton, Nick Rupp, Evan Thompson.
The standout Spy surfer during this event was John Florence. He surfed this event like he was freesurfing. During this event he beat Dane Reynolds and Andy Irons along with many other creditable surfers. Look out for big thing from John Florence.
In the Junior Pro event the Spy surfer that stoodout was Tyler Newton. Tyler was ripping throughout the contest. In the finals he never really got the waves to showcase his talent but a 4th palce in this international event was not a bad showing. Newts is leading the Hawaiian Pro Junior ranking. Good surfng Newts!
Dean Morrison ties the knot with his long time girlfriend Alana Brennan on Dec 31, 2009 on the Big Island of Hawaii. The wedding was on a remote beach and was limited to family and close friends.
