Hurley Boys Have Great Weekend At The NSSA On Kauai

We just got back from Kauai last night. We flew over for the NSSA at PK’s on the south shore. Waves were pumping as there was a solid out of season southswell.

It was a great weekend for the Hurley Boys. First off Elijah gates got his first win of the season. He took out the explorer menehune division. Elijah was on fire Sunday collecting huge scores all the way to his victory. Elijah also got a 5th place on Saturday in the Open Boys.

Fellow Hurley riders Kaulana Apo and Kalen Galtes also made two finals. Kaulana got 4^thplace in the open boys and 6^th place in the Explorer menehune, and Kalen got a 6^th place in the Open Juniors, and 3^rd place finish in the explorer boys. Congrats and thanks to the boys for their hard work this weekend. Until next time.

Aloha, Joel

Kaulana Apo Wins HSA Event At Straight Outs

Kaulana surfed a perfect event yesterday at Straight Outs in Town. Waves were in the 2-3 foot range. He ripped his way to the finals by winning every heat and posting massive scores. Kaulana has been on a great run the last few months taking 2nd place at the NSSA Nationals, winning the Rip Curl Grom Search, and now this HSA Event. Keep up the great work and CONGRATULATIONS Kaulana!!
