The Otter Rock and Roll went down on International Surfing Day, and by all accounts was an awesome sucess. The waves were small, and the winds were light, creating a super safe environment, and perfect atmosphere for the groms to compete in! It's not very often in the Northwest that we get conditions that are good for kids, so to have such small clean conditions for the only contest geared towards pushing the youth surfing in Oregon was pretty rad!
One of the highlights was the Child With Parents second round heats, where a super low tide, and tiny conditions led to a super rad little sandbar that most of us would stare at wishing we were 2 feet tall. The groms however got to take full advantage of it, and surfed a mini sandbar point for their heats, a truely unique experience. Other highlights were the older 16-18 year olds (there were only 2 of them, we need more groms to come out!) going blow for blow in their final heat, both pulling out all the stops and old-school longboard tricks like coffins, dying cockroaches, and more to try and get the win. Also, our very own team rider Brody Winger got 3rd place in his division!
