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.

The event was packed with spectators on Saturday. Lakey’s Coach Mike Lamm wearing Jetty Matte Black G12

Kaenon Team rider Chandler Parr surfed solid all the way to the Semi Finals where she just missed one of the set waves and finished the heat in 3rd and unfortunately did not advance to the final – but a spectacular finish nonetheless. Chandler wears Calais Tortoise C12.

Lakey Peterson boosted aerials at the NSSA Western Championships during the Men’s Air Show (that’s right – we said Men’s), which put her into the finals – a feat that has never been done before by a female! Competing in four events overall, Lakey took 1st in two events, the Girls Fourteen and Under Division, the Explorer Women’s Division, placed 2nd in the Open Women’s Division, as well as her final stand in the Men’s Air Show. Great job Lakey!
