Last weekend while everyone was in santa cruz I surfed the explorer in huntington. The waves were great, some of the best pier ive seen in a while, and i ended up winning 2 contests, explorer event 3 and 4. ended up getting 2 10 point rides throughout the contest. Here is the story fron Janice, "Explorer Men’s division leader Christian Saenz was in devastating form at his home break, especially on Saturday where he dropped two perfect 10 scores. The much-focused Saenz won Saturday’s event #4 final and then continued to dominate Southside’s “Pier Bowl” lefts on Sunday where he claimed another victory in the event #3 make-up."
Here is a shot that just came out in the OC Register. This day was really fun and I actually saw some of the Hurley boys leaving when I showed up. Stoked to get some coverage in the paper — it was a great surprise! —Christian Saenz
It's been a great two weeks of surfing for me. Last week I won my first event of the season in the explorer and this week I won the NSSA Open Mens on southside of the Huntington Beach Pier. I won every heat in both of the contest something I've never achieved before. The waves were small but I have this great Timmy Patterson 5'7" rising sun and the board went amazing. This was my first time to win 2 events in two weekends. I'm stoked to have won the contest against guys that surf so well. Conner Coffin has been surfing amazing and he's really hard to get a win over so I'm stoked I won with him in the contest.
Thanks,
Christian Saenz
The Saenz boys were frothing to get back into the contest season. After a great summer I was actually stoked for school to start. When school starts all the NSSA comps are running up and down the coast of California. This was the 2nd explorer event and I was really looking forward to surf some fun waves at the contest in huntington. This weekend was different though, I won and my younger brother Jake won also! This was my first season win and my brothers first win in his career. We are stoked to have shared such a great weekend together and will always look back on it with fond memories. Not only did we both win the contest but also got NSSA surfer of the week together. For more check www.saenzy.blogspot.com

The mornings are cooler, the offshores are back and south swell is in the water. Christian Saenz and Brandon Guilmette capitalize on the situation at HB. Photos: Michael Lallande
