A recap of the final day

The clouds rolled in but the wind and, finally, the swell was on. What the wave riders had been waiting all week for, finally arrived. A morning slick style session in some strong and gusty winds and then a 1-5pm session at pier 27, a short 5 minute drive from the Real center. Riders we’re greeted with side off wind and a sweet little beach break with some good sets coming through.
Ian Alldredge and Reo Stevens, both frothing for waves, we’re second on the water after local Sam Bell.


The waves were waist to shoulder high rights, with smooth faces and Ian Alldredge was right at home pulling all varieties of moves except the air reverses due to the wind strength.

All the riders we’re getting some good hits, Mauricio riding backside and getting in some good hits.




Reo Stevens sneaked out to steal a few waves leaving his straps on the beach. Sam Bell was ripping as was Davey Blair with some super laid back lip smacks.


Kevin Langeree opted for straps and was boosting off the waves with backrolls back onto the wave face and flat 3’s back onto the wave.

The girls we’re also getting in on the action with Brazilian Clarissa Hempel leading the charge. Other stand outs in the waves were Andre Phillip and of course Florida’s Jon Modica who took second in the surf event this year.


Thanks to the Real crew for putting on a killer event. Check out the riders interviews and shots below.
