Since the end of March, Corey been in 5 contests. The first two, DNA Jr. Pro and Surfing America Prime, didn't go as planned and he didn't make it to the finals. However, in NSSA East Coast Championships, Corey got my mind straight and he went for broke. Corey won the Explorer Jrs., placed 3rd in Open Men, and 4th in Open Jrs. The following weekend, he traveled to St. Augustine for ESA's Southeast Regionals where he won Jr. Men. Corey also won Ron Jon Easter Fest's Jr Pro division at Cocoa Beach Pier.

Nice work Corey. YEW!

St. Augustine, Florida's wonder grom Keto Burns finished up with a boys 1st place and open mens 6th place for the ESA Championships held in the outer banks of North Carolina. After a week of battling 50 mph plus winds in heats and amping competitors Keto was rewarded with fun head high surf and pumping barrels in his final. Now that Keto is done with this event he will be in Costa Rica for the next 2 weeks.
