U.S. SUP Surf Championships

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Huntington Beach played host all week to the inaugural U.S. Surfing Championships.
This event marked the first time ever that SUP was added to the list as a division. Although SUP was added last minute, the event managed to draw a few big names to come support and compete. Chuck Patterson, Candice Appleby, Noah Yapp, Dave Boehne, Anthony Vela and HB local Daniel Hughes all showed up. Honolua's Anthony Vela managed a 3rd Place finish in the final with some impressive SUP surfing, dropping down from 2nd in the dying seconds of the heat. Final Results: 1st Chuck Patterson 2nd Noah Yapp 3rd Anthony Vela 4th Emmy Merril There are some cool photos of the event online you can check out HERE and HERE [caption id="attachment_914" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Anthony Vela and Dave Boehne"]Honolua Waterman Anthony Vela and Dave Boehne[/caption] [caption id="attachment_915" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Anthony Carving"]Honolua's Anthony Vela carving[/caption] [caption id="attachment_916" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Dave vert action"]Honolua's Dave Boehne SUP[/caption]
