All the ingredients of the perfect surf trip were there: sunny skies, waves all day every day on empty spots, a beautiful place to stay and the best crew to hang out with.

The swell rolled into Steamer Lane, Santa Cruz today for the O’Neill Cold Water Classic California. The top names in surfing got into the water and put on a spectacular show for the gathering crowds. Jordy Smith (ZAF) and Nat Young (USA) – both previous winners at this competition – were battling it out at first light. In the first heat of the day local boy Nat took the victory. Jordy Smith, current ASP World Number Two, finished second. The standout of the day was Australian Dayyan Neve scoring an 8.23 and a 9.33 – and thus the highest heat score of the day. The battle for the $50.000 has commenced! Currently leading the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Series, Shaun Cansdell, was first in the water, coming out top of his heat. Fellow Australian and series runner up Stuart Kennedy didn’t have a problem to pass his heat either.

The contest took advantage of an unexpected small push in swell this morning to finish off the Round of 128 in clean 2-to-3 foot conditions at Steamer Lane.

With the Round of 128 completed, the contest went on hold until midday when it was decided to postpone the Round of 96 until the morning.

The ocean has done a lot for the O’Neill family and they wanted to give something back. So Jack O’Neill set up the Sea Odyssey Program. This program connects kids to the ocean, a lot of them have never been on a boat or on the ocean before. It teaches them how essential and important the ocean is. If they don’t understand it, they won’t be motivated to protect it. For example, one of their units is marine science, so the kids gather plankton and learn about the bottom of the food chain. And how things work at the bottom of the food chain, move up the food chain and affect through dolphins, fishes and humans. They learn about the natural system and the circle of life. How pollutants concentrate, how one form of life consumes another form of life and make them aware of how the eco system is interconnected. The Sea Odyssey Program is a fun, interesting and instructive way of introducing kids to ocean and environmental conservation.

They will remember that dav for the rest of their lives and will tell stories about that experience in Thurso. Many of the surfers have never ever seen snow before, let alone surf while it’s snowing.
