Spy has a very small surf team but it’s elite. Look at the 1st day high waves score for the day. Torrey Meister and John Florence held the #1 and #2 spot so far in this event.
The Spy team rippers who had unsuccessful heats today were Tyler Newton and Clay Marzo. But they will be standouts wherever they surf during the winter on the North Shore.
The surf picked up today and it was fun for most of the day. Evan Thompson won his heat advancing into round 3 avoiding round 2. Tyler Newton is surfing tomorrow in the elimination round 2 in a man on man heat.
Here are some photos from the openning day yesterday.
Enjoy!
