O’Neill CWC 2011 Waddel Creek Finals

So Miguel Pupo was just on fire! Waves came to him and delivered. Congratulations Miguel, well earned!

Hefty WNW Swells in the Surf Forecast

Looks like Wednesday this week will have some strong WNW swell and stays strong the rest of the week. Even bigger on Saturday. There is also a nice SW swell starting Friday that will get into South facing beaches, so there will waves at most all surf breaks this week.

3:45pm – It’s official – Miguel Pupo wins the CWC!

The young Brazilian dazzled the crowd in on-shore beach break conditions at Waddell Creek and takes home $40k for the win and another $50k for the Cold Water series win.

Surfing no cord and relaxed he pulled all kinds of flared out air reverses and other exceptional maneuvers.

Congratulations Miguel!

CWC at Waddell

O’Neill Cold Water Classic was on at the Lane until around 10am.  We had another over 6 foot high tide to deal with mid-day so they moved to Waddell Creek and waves have stayed rippable and glassy all day. 3:30pm – Currently moving back to the Lane with next call 4:30.

Last call was off for the day. Next call 7AM Sunday

They ran a few heats at the Lane in the morning and then moved the show to Waddell for the high tide heats at the beach break. Then back to the Lane for some better than expected low tide waves. Likely to start 7:30am tomorrow at the Lane.
