Jake Halstead
The third event in the Rusty/Sun Diego Surf Series got underway on Saturday at Pacific Beach Drive and though the surf was not as epic as the last event the level of talent was still through the roof! The waves were a bit on the inconsistent side ranging from waist to head high with fair conditions. The heat winners tended to be the surfers who picked off the bigger waves in contrast to the last event which had an abundance of long lines and air sections every heat - evening out the playing field. Competitors tore apart any pulse that rippled through the contest zone offering spectators an impressive display of beach break annihilation...
Congratulations to Rusty team riders Anthony Petruso, Jake Halstead, and Kevin Schulz for holding it down in the final rounds. Petruso took home 3rd in the Pro/Am division, Schulz snagged a 1st place finish in the Grom Division, and last event's ring leader, Halstead, took home another 1st in the Juniors Division!
The next event is Saturday August 22 at the Ocean Beach Pier. Click here for more information...
