The Hurley bus, Conner Coffin, Beau Foster, Scotty Stopnik, Rachel Tilly and Punker Pat met 40 excited groms down at San Fernando Street for another day of RMSS fun. There was some serious talent out in the water as everything from 16-year-old rippers to our youngest ever competitor (1 year and 10 months) gave it a go on their favorite Hurley/Stacey short boards and INT soft tops. In the end it was Matthew Perrealt who took home the win with one of the longest waves ever ridden at Mission Beach -- which earned himself a first-place finish and new GoPro camera, Phantom Create boardshorts, Spy sunglasses and other goodies from FreeStyle, Mophie, Tranworld, Stance, Watermans and Futures.

RMSS just stopped by 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach, where 50 groms met up with Dane Zaun, Conner Coffin, Pete Devries, Beau Foster and Michael Dunphy for a day of surfing and fun. The spectators and judges were treated to quite a show as the close-to-shore conditions made for some crazy rides and even crazier wipeouts. Things really got going once the final rolled around and Finn Bertino channeled his inner-Gerry Lopez and threw down a soul arch tube ride -- which earned himself a first-place finish and new GoPro camera, Phantom Create boardshorts, Schwinn bicycle, Spy sunglasses and other goodies from FreeStyle, Mophie, Tranworld, Stance, Watermans and Futures.

The local Santa Barbara groms came out in full force on Sunday as they slapped high fives and showed off in the water for Yadin Nicol, Conner Coffin, Beau Foster, Pete Devries and Dane Zaun. With small surf and the fun Hurley INT soft boards, some serious silliness was going down – everything from board transfers to backflips. The judges sure had their hands full with the talented group of 9 finalists, but in the end it was little Liam Osborne who stole the show and took home the first-place finish and new GoPro camera, Phantom Create boardshorts, Schwinn bicycle, Spy sunglasses and other goodies from FreeStyle, Mophie, Tranworld, Stance, Watermans and Futures.  Read on for results and to see all the fun that went down at the Pismo Beach Pier, and click here for the download link to all of the day's photos.
