The Greatwhite Surf Series went off this past weekend in fun 4-6 ft conditions at world famous Steamer Lane. We arrived at the Lane in the pitch black and the freezing cold we were already greeted by frothing children ready to get their surf on! The sun began to rise and with everyone ready to go we through the Grom’s into the water and sounded the horn.

The waves were a solid 4-6 ft with clean conditions all day.

The crowd filled in and took over the West Cliff Drive by mid morning. With the burritos on the way from Chipotle and the people were ready to get their eat on. The day rolled along perfect and before we new it, it was time for the finals. The finalists were so pumped to get their hands on the heaps of prizes from ELECTRIC VISUAL, GLOBE SHOES, and many more.

The waves off the “Slot” consistently set up for a perfect air sections next to the cliff!

This group of Squids was so talented they refused to surf down the point and instead charged straight into the line-up.
