Giornate di grande spettacolo ad Huntington Beach (California) dove si sta per concludere il Vans US Open of Surfing, importante tappa QS da 10.000 punti per gli uomini, World Tour per le donne (Open) e circuito World Junior.
Lo swell c’è, con i suoi 3-5 piedi che corrispondono a 1-1.5 m, e l’onda del The Pier nella Surf City offre ottime rampe per provare le manovre più radicali, prima di finire tra i piloni del pontile e attraversarlo, continuando la corsa.
E’ di Josh Kerr (AUS) l’onda del giorno con due air chiusi ed un punteggio di 9 portato a casa. Tanto spettacolo anche tra le ragazze, con le semifinaliste decise dopo heat davvero combattute. Tra oggi e domani si dovrebbe concludere il contest, stando anche alle ottime previsioni meteo-surf per questo fine settimana ad Huntington. Pronti a seguire il live?
