Update July 30th
A solid heat from Adam today progressing into into the No Loser Round 3 Ht 3 vs Jordy and Charles Martin. No luck for Stu today in the crumbly 1'-2' surf. He was right in the heat with a 6.80 but failed to land a couple of airs to back it up. Good news for Stu is that he is in the Video Trials for the Hurley Pro Trestles WCT in early September.

A great result for Mello today finishing 3rd at the Vans US Open of Surfing. Adam easily accounted for Jordy Smith with a 15.60 heat total. In the Semi Final he couldn't find the right waves to get the scores needed. The result earned Mello 4225 ratings points and has him in an excellent position to requal for the 2015 WCT. Congratulations mate.
