And guess what? Up-and-coming Junior standout, Scott Weinhardt, has done just that. So give his new blog, Surf N Boots, a good hard look right here. And don't forget to bookmark it along with our other favorite blogs, Young Wise Tails, Don't Fear Me Gypsy, Cooper And Beau, The Goodwin Project, Captain Fin, Crude Behavior, Cycle Zombies and High Seas Film. All that blogginess should tide you over through the weekend.

Hurley's Scott Weinhardt and Jake Marshall had a solid showing last weekend at the Surfing America Prime event help at Uppers. Not only did they get to surf perfect Uppers with three other people all day through to the finals, but they also received some rad cobblestone trophies to add to the mantle. Scott ended up finishing 3rd in the Under 18s while Jake finished 2nd in the Under 14s. Nice work, boys! For contest highlights, click here.
