THE WORLD DESCENDS ON HUNTINGTON

It's here. The time of year where the world of surfing focuses on some standard waves (generally), big crowds and a ridiculous party. Money money money makes the US Open one of the biggest surf contests of the year. The men's and women's junior event got underway on the weekend with the day's highest heat total coming from American Tanner Hendrickson. His 15.54 kept all the American press releases happy for the one time the big mainstream TV stations might take notice. America fuck yeah!
