JellyFish Surf Series results

After long await the New York Jellyfish has finally stung. ON OCTOBER 19TH the Boy Wer tha heck are we goin tour landed in Long Beach, New York for the last stop of the Jellyfish surf series. Our well-rested crew awoke to very small cold and windy conditions at Lincoln Blvd. OVER 50 competitors showed up to take advantage of the tiny surf but as we all know the show must go on.

The groms swarmed around the tent all morning as Shawn"Barney"Barron gave the play by play, promo flew from the tent like the salmon of capistano and the red bull flowed like wine into the stomachs of New York’s best groms, to say the least the kids were stoked! Taking the win and all the bragging rights that go with it was 13 year old TJ Gumiela, right behind him in a close one was Balaram Stack. All of our New York Finalist have earned invites to the 2004 VQS champs.

In the Juniors division we had a heated battle similar to the Black and white Knight VS the Blue Knight at our Medieval Times stop back on the tour (check volcom.com). Richie Bogart stole the show from Jesse Harrington. Harrington displeased with his second place finish chopped Richies’ head off with a battle-ax. Just kidding, they both walked away very happy with there prizes in hand.

The Pro-Am Final was just great! Everyone at the event had his or her eyes on the water as this showdown took place. The waves got a little better, the sun even popped out for a couple minutes. And the winner is…

..Barney!!!!! In second was Larry Herric who got his fair share of good ones and in the third spot was local Adam Wagner. Good job guys!

After the event we headed to Unsound surf shop for a little post BBQ, the groms ate up all the burgers and chicken we could feed them. Everyone left that evening with a full belly and a fun day of Barneys antics! Thanks again New York! Well be back next year!
