Micah Byrne & Andrew Doheny Finish 2nd & 3rd in the Vans Pier Classic & Ezekiel Pro Junior
MARCH 28TH, 2010 | VANS PIER CLASSIC | HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA
The 2010 Vans Pier Classic and Ezekiel Pro Junior Presented by Jacks was a ASP WQS 2 star event. ELECTRIC was a co-sponsor of this event which make it ELECTRIC’s 4th ASP sanctioned event to date. For 5 days the sun was out and the waves were pumping. Surfers from around the globe took to stage and showed off their talents.
ELECTRIC team rider and 2007 past champion, Micah Byrne, found himself in a similar situation but made the final of the WQS. While Micah was sitting on a 9.6 and in the lead, Hawaiian Dylan Goodale was able to throw down a big score knocking Micah Byrne into 2nd. With Mother Nature not on Micah’s side this time he would have to settle for 2nd.
Newport local and past finalists Andrew Doheny had been a standout through-out the event so things were looking good for a “W”. Andrew was close to the lead only needing a high 6 to vault him into the lead. Andrew did this dropping a 9.5 with some on rail surfing. Unfortunately this heat showcased some of the best surfing ever with the likes of Kalohe Andino, Tyler Newton, and Luke Davies. Andrew finished a respectable 3rd and left feeling that he had a great event.
ELECTRIC as a sponsor was able to have an online question each day where people that were not able to see the action live could watch from the comfort of their own homes and win prizes. If you were down at the event and working on your tan, ELECTRIC had their hat press where you could score a free hat and if you bought a pair of shades at Jacks HB you were lucky enough to receive a free hat as well. Great event for all the sponsors and competitors. We look forward to next year.
