Another great day of surf and fun just went down in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, where 78 of Wrightsville's best young rippers met up with us to enjoy some of the better waves we've seen thus far. There were some great rides out the back, but the main show was on the inside shorebreak, which made for some crazy wipeouts and critical waves as all the competitors charged with no hesitation. In the end it was the sisterly duo of Madeline and Julie Eckel who stole the show and battled it out for the top two spots with some great long boarding and creative maneuvers ("creative" as in Madeline's coffin ride to 360 twirl, which ended up earning her the victory). Thanks to everyone for coming out and for keeping us entertained with the great surfing. Read on for results and click here for the download link to all of today's photos. Photos: PK
