JUNIORS FINAL WINNER LAHIKI MINAMISHIN
NSSA Hawaii event #6 enjoyed great conditions at PK’s on the south shore of Hawaii. The Open divisions kicked off Saturday’s competition with good 3-6 foot surf and warm sunny weather. Lucas Angulo took his first win in the Open Boys division while Nage Melamed took her first win of the season in the Open Women's division. Bailey Nagy who competes in Open Womens, Explorer Womens and Explorer Girls has had a tremendous season making all three finals in her divisions. She has made finals in all of her divisions at every contest so far this season and now increases her finals streak to six…Impressive! At this event, Bailey took first in the Explorer Girls final. We also saw some big scores being thrown by Kalani David and Keanu Asing. Kalani was showing all the people on the beach what perfect 10's across the board looks like. Keanu Asing was ripping and got an excellent 9.75 in the Open Men's final which sealed the victory in the Open Men's. Lahiki Minamishin took the Open Juniors win while Ka’oli Kahokuloa’s third place finish secured his number one ranking in the division. Sunday was another beautiful, hot and long day on the beach. One of NSSA Hawaii's biggest supporters fell and broke his ankle and wrist while watching his daughter surf her heat.... He is going to be alright it will just take sometime to heal! So from NSSA HAWAII to Andy Melamed, keep your head up and heal up soon! Our Pull In Awards of the contest went to Kalen Galtes and Nage Melamed for making two finals each.
