High Quality version of Justin’s video up now!

The lighting, and most importantly to the surfers, the waves couldn’t have been much better on Saturday for the Nike Surfing America Prime presented by Got Milk? Church Beach stop of the West Coast series.
The sets came from morning ’til the end of the day (with maybe the only exception being the first 3/4′s of the U18 Boys final).
Photos are being edited to send off to Transworld and Surfline. Justin Jung, who shot the video for this event, is putting together some clips we’ll be submitting to the new Fuel TV show Action Sports +. We’re hoping they can give some time to the event on the new show that would air on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
Stay tuned for updates on that.
