Glad to see a local guy place at the Nike 6.0 Junior Surf Competition! From Star Bulletin:

Hawaii’s Kai Barger and Tonino Benson claimed the top two spots in the finals of the Nike 6.0 Pro Junior at the championship yesterday at Huntington Beach, Calif.

Barger won the title with a score of 15.50 out of a possible 20. Benson came in second with a score of 14.30, followed by California’s Dillon Perillo (12.53) and Nat Young (9.53) in the event held in conjunction with the U.S. Open of Surfing.
