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.

The kids were so fired up to surf with Pat O'Connell, Beau Foster and the rest of the Hurley crew that a 48 degree water temperature and flat conditions did nothing to slow them down. We saw some great rides from all the competitors as the final bonus round saw some front flips, backflips, board transfers, summersaults and headstands -- it was quite the show. Taking home the big win and new GoPro camera, Phantom Create boardshorts, Spy sunglasses, Stance socks, Futures fins, Mophie iPhone case and other goodies was Justin Wiggens, who threw down a breakdance spinning headstand right into the sand.
