What another great event Sophie surfed a really hard fought heat in round 1 but came up short. What a great experience though, And to get another awesome coaching session with USA Team Coach Ryan Simmons (aka Coach Simmo) was a great learning experience. Cant wait for US Champs in California!
Sophie Won NSSA Open Girls #2 and then drove back to Jax just in time for her final at the Florida State Surfing Championships and took 3rd place in the 14-20 Jr. Womens Division. Way to go Kid! Ripping your way to all finals and surfing solid!
Sophie competed in the Surfing America Prime Event in Atlantic City N.J., She surfed well all weekend Having the lead in the final for over 15 min. That all changed when one of the best sets of the day came in and she wasn’t on either wave. with only 2 min. left she needed a high 4 unfortunately time ran out placing her in 3rd. Overall a great result in the Under 16 division and great surfing to get there.
Sophie won the Girls 11-14 Division at the Gnarly Charley Grom Surf Series Marineland event. The surf was small but clean and fun, She won all three heats she surfed to go undefeated for the day! Marineland is such a cool spot south of St. Augustine, really cool event!
Sophie Won the 2012 5th Annual Matt Rast Gray Memorial contest in Atlantic Beach, FL. She surfed well in the Queesn’s 16 & under Division, Also she skated in the skate contest in the AB Bowl and placed 2nd, just a fun overall weekend!
Sophie went to her first Surf Expo in Orlando, FL. She visited all the cool people that have given her sponsor support over the years and got to meet Gerry Lopez, What an Honor! Also a big thanks to Kyle for Getting Sophie on the Arnette Program and thanks to everyone for making her first Surf Expo a Memorable one!
Sophie followed that up with a 3rd Place finish Sunday in New Smyrna Inlet for NSSA #4 in cold small clean surf!
