The 2nd Quarter Final was quite interested. Paulo got a surprisingly slow start while Isaac Zoller was just crushing it from the get-go. Paulo got a few solid backside lines, one to a big spin and another to a 180 air drop. AK had a huge frontside air, but Zoller’s in and out barrel really stole the show.

Paulo-1

Zoller-2

AK- 3

Mo Just , Teddy V, and Brandon Sears were pitted against each other in the first quarter final of the Men’s Pro division. Morgan really stood out with multiple switch barrels, and a bit of tech thrown down. Brandon Sears and Teddy each had a few rides… BCS seemed pretty disappointed with his skimming.

Mo Just- 1

BCS- 2

Teddy V-3

Morgan Just, Teddy V, and BCS are throwing down right now. Stay tuned for pics and results!

Paulo, AK, and Zoller coming up next

So the Jr. Men’s had a little bit of an upset with Travis Sampson beating out Perry Pruitt.

Heat A:

Blair Conklin- 1

Travis Sampson-2

Perry Pruitt- 3

Kyle Wiley- 4

Heat B:

Jovani-1

Dylan Hunter-2

Derek Shenton-3

Troy Rhoten

The Final will obviously be between Blair, Travis, Jovani, and Dylan. Stoked.

The girls threw down in a respectable fashion for the Semi-A of the Women’s Pro divion. Anna Prophet and Shonna Cobb, as expected, were the standouts. Shonna was really charging the biggest wave faces she could find, while Anna focused more on teching out the secondaries. It’ll be interesting to see what the judges liked more.

Joey Antonelli, Eric Rosenberry, Trevor Stanaland, and Kai Lowe just skilled their final for the 18-21 division. Unfortunately, the waves were not quite ideal, but the dudebros pushed through. Eric was really the standout performer making clean wrap coverups again and again. Results will be posted when they’re announced later today.

Jesse: Harley, cant help but notice you’re wearing 18 pieces of Laker’s paraphenalia….. how you feel about the win?

Harley: I feel amazing about the Laker’s win…. I mean, i’m speechless!

So Blair may be one of the most humble kids I’ve encountered in skimming, especially considering that he’s poised to be one of the best of the next generation of pro’s.

When asked about his win over Perry last heat, he said, “I’ve got some tough competition this year, and some ‘interesting conditions’…. theyre not that good haha. The final’s gonna be stacked…. really gonna be close. Anyone could win.”

Well i’d bet reigning champ and EOS team rider Blair will bring home the gold once again.

Blair Conklin just skimmed in Heat 2 Round 2 of the 15-17 year old division, and it was just ridiculous. His style is so smooth… he’s gonna be a contendor for the Pro title in no time. Perry Pruit also threw down big time with quite a few wrap barrels, but it was EOS Rider Blair who really shined as the skimmer to beat.
