Congratulations Devin!
If you didn't know Devin surfed in the HSA State Championships at Ala Moana Bowls this past week. He surfed in the Menehune shortboard division which is the 11 and under. The conditions at Bowls couldn't have been any better... 2 -3 feet with occasional 4 footer rolling through. He advanced through four rounds and won a couple of heats in the process before the semi final. In semi final Devin ended up posting his highest score of the event, a 9.5! He was stoke with his score, but he was even happier with the announcement that he had won the semi. Then it was time for the final. The final was stacked with the best surfers from a cross the state and some great waves to be surfed. So the stage was set. All the kids surfed really well and it was just a matter of who was going to get the best wave. Devin had some great medium size waves but not the one he needed in the end. He just missed a solid four foot wave that could have possibly been a very high scoring wave. So he settle for the next wave that didn't open up for him in the closing seconds. After surfing four rounds and a semi final, Devin ended up placing "3rd" in the HSA State Championships final!!!
We are super stoked for him and his accomplishments this season.
Looks like he will be surfing in both nationals now. Which is Surfing America Championships at lowers and NSSA at Huntington.
