Happening: 16th Annual Jetty Kid Surf Kontest

Dear Matuse Family,

The 16th Annual Jetty Kid Surf Kontest in memory of Keith Noel this past weekend in Mission Beach was a huge success for the kids. One of UAPO’s own team rider, Valentina Perez (from Ensenada Baja California), placed 3rd in the 8-9 yr old division. She won a trophy and a new wetsuit. It was a beautiful sunny day with small but fun surf. Everyone had a great time. Other standouts were Delta Nelson Ramirez (7), Mateo Mendez (6), and Carlos Armenta(7). They participated in the super menehune division (7 and under). Barbara Nelson Ramirez (8) made the semifinals in the Menehune girsl 8-9 Division. Also Guayo Argueta Hussong, Jan Pingarron, Mateo Fernandez, and Emilio Romero had very close heats in the Menehune 8-9 boys division. Emilia Perez and Macarena Fernandez participated and are part of the team as well. Congratulations to all of them!
