Josiah Amico. Busting moves like his hero Dane Reynolds, Osborne let it be known that he was
totally focused on taking home the trophy this year.
Josiah gave Eithan plenty to look at but in the end, it would be Osborne holding the prize by
putting on a power display unmatched in his talented division.
Conditions for the Wahine Finals were near perfect. It was Zoey Luna’s birthday, and she
gave herself a wonderful present by wrapping herself around some backlit beauties that were
winding down the point. Abby Brown took the win for the second time in two years, cracking
some of those famous paper-thin lips that Rincon pitches out when the tide goes low.
The Women's group should probably be called the Demi Division. The level of surfing is
superb throughout, but Boelsterli just plain owns it by surfing with a passion for precision
combined with reckless perfection. Ten times in a row she has walked off with the win!
Sierra Partridge and the rest of the group put up a good fight, but Boelsterli dominated.
The only thing that could distract the crowd from Demi was when Brown rode a wave with
dolphins that went viral in the media worldwide. Fighting a fever, Brown dug deep to surf in a
stacked final and experienced a moment that she will cherish for the rest of her life.
