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.

NSSA Southwest Open season event #10 Huntington Beach CA Southside of the pier. April 4-5, 2009
Can you imagine what it would be like to have perfect 4-6 foot faced waves, perfect shaped waves and glassy conditions with frothing groms ripping? Well it was a great weekend with good surfing action from the young up and comers who are trying to make a name for their selves or show off their shredding skills.
When it it all came to an end on Sunday, the Spy guys were the standouts as always. Parker Coffin from Santa Barbara finished 2nd in the Open Juniors division while Kanoa Igarashi place 2nd in the Open Boys division.
Poor young Luke Davis had to bow out of the event because he got the Chicken Pox on Sunday. We wish you a speedy recovery Luke. Don’t itch yourself!
