At Sunset Beach Hawaii, in the Oahu Triple Crown of Surfing, Dane Gudauskas advanced through the first round of 128 with a win against the best of the best, including Corey Lopez.  In the round of 96 Dane advanced again in rough conditions with 2nd.  Finally in the round of 64 the surf jumped up huge with tough conditions but Dane held on and advanced again.  In the round of 32 Dane was competing against both of his bothers, Tanner and Patrick Gudauskas as well as Mason Ho.  The surf was in the 15- to 20-foot range and not always lining up.  Unfortunately Dane along with his brother Patrick went down.

Kaenon is thrilled with how well Dane surfed, making it all the way up to round 32 surfing against the best in some of the world’s heaviest surf. Watch for Dane to keep it up on the 2010 WQS!

Dane wears Burny Black G12.

Lakey Peterson Wins!
National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS – Trestles, San Clemente, California

Lakey Peterson did it! She won the NSSA National Open Women’s Championship. Although she competed in several divisions and walked away with a second in the Explorer Girls, winning the Open Women’s had the most prestige. Lakey set the tone by scoring a 9.0 wave, where she completed a solid air. This maneuver had the fans on the beach and over the internet in a frenzy.

At age 14 Lakey is one of the youngest females to win this Division, which makes her the Women’s Jr National Champion. The competitors in this contest are the very best, many of whom are several years older than Lakey and come from all over the United States, including Hawaii. NSSA Nationals is the largest and most prestigious amateur competition in the U.S for surfers 18 and under. Lakey wears Burny Black G12.
