At the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro in Western Australia, Carissa Moore took 1st place in stop no. 2 of 8 on the ASP Women’s World Championship Tour, while Dusty Payne nabbed his first major ASP event win. Both athletes fought through a stacked field of the world’s best to claim their respective victories. Setting up a good title race for 2013, this is Carissa’s first ASP Women’s WCT event win in over a year. The Margaret River Pro is also the first men’s ASP PRIME rated event for the 2013 season, making these valuable wins for both Hawaii surfers on the tour. Congratulations to our local champions!

Volcom Totally Crustaceous Surf Tour, Pufferfish at Makaha

The Makaha stop off on the Volcom Totally Crustaceous tour offered some pretty sweet swag for the Pufferfish contestants of Hawaii, not to mention great waves at Makaha. Congrats to pro-am winner Josh Moniz, who also qualified for the US Championships this May and won the Electric Volt Thrower award. While the Volcom Totally Crustaceous Surf Tour focuses on fun rather than anything lucrative, the kids compete for great giveaways, and parents are probably stoked that the entry is free.
