F54’s Gavin Klein gets 2nd at Volcom - MAILE POINT, OAHU

JAN 17, 2010 - MAILE POINT, OAHU
Volcom Stones
Pufferfish Surf Series
Maile Point, Oahu

The third stop of the Pufferfish Surf Series went off on Sunday, January 17th 2010! El Nino season is in full effect and we already had high hopes for some fun waves at Maile Pt. As we hoped, we arrived to perfect 4 to 6 ft hundred yard long lefts. Without a doubt this would be the best waves in years we have had for a Pufferfish.

As usual, the Groms were on point and ready to go. In the first heat of the day Kaoli Kahukalo got barreled on a left set. He ended up earning fifty bucks for the Electric Volt Thrower for doing a sick frontside air. Kaoli also made the final, but ended up getting 2nd in a stacked heat. Young Kai Matsumoto ended up winning and walking away with a huge Volcom bag full of goods. Eala Stewart was solid all day and came away with a very impressive 3rd place finish over Austin Vicente, Seth Moniz and Josh Moniz.

The Juniors were not short of talent with Kylen Tamakawa coming out on top over Gavin Klein who made his way over from Kauai. Last years winner Eli Olson just missed out on the win again, but got a qualifying spot for the VQS World Champs. EJ Mitsui,Chase Suzuki,and Jordan Breuggemann rounded out the Juniors final.

In the Girls division it was young Mahina Maeda charging the overhead lefts all day. She threw down huge scores in early heats and backed it up by coming out on top in a stacked final. Bailey Nagy had a solid finish and earned 2nd over Hana Harrisson, Missy Valdez, Maile Brannigan and Malia Mizuno rounded out the final.

Jonah Morgan has been on fire lately, and he proved it by winning every heat he surfed, including the final. It was the highest stacked Pro-Am that the Pufferfish has seen yet. The field included 6x triple crown winner and former world champ Sunny Garcia, who was posting 10’s in the early rounds, but pulled out before the repo. Nick Mita got the spot Sunny gave up and ended up winning the stacked repo against the likes of Ola Eleogram, Gavin Gillette and Jose Maria Cabrerra from the Canary Islands who also posted a 10 in the repo and didn’t make it. Barak Maor made it and got 2nd to Jonah Morgan by less than a point. Nick Mita got third over Ola Eleogram, Brazil’s Marcello Trekhino, who did a huge backside air in the quarters,and former National champ Kekoa Cazimero. Over all it was amazing day full of surfing, wheel barrel races, and Teri burgers on the grill. Everyone was super stoked and thankful to VOLCOM once again.
