Haleiwa’s own Shion Crawford held firm for back-to-back Final appearances, earning fourth behind Maui’s Cody Young, who earned a season-best third-place finish, and now looks for his opportunity to continue showcasing his potential at the Sambazon World Junior Championships as Hawaii/Tahiti Nui Pro Junior Regional victor.
“It feels good to get a rhythm going in contests,” said Crawford. “I’m stoked to be first in the rankings with all the guys in this region. And I’m really excited to have a shot at being a [WSL] World Junior Champion.”
