In 2nd place, Brandon Rambo also put on a consistent display of performance surfing throughout the day and thoroughly deserved his 2nd place in the Trials and his place in the prestigious Main Event here at the Huntington Beach Pro Grand Slam. Local to Southern California, Brandon will be have the home ground advantage and home crowd behind him going into the Main Event

Josh Riccio, originally from Florida, but now a Maui resident, demonstrated his strength today in the surfing discipline of a sport to compliment his strong finish in the AC Open World Series Racing in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. As a strong all rounder, Josh will be a name to watch out for moving forward on both the Stand up World Tour and Series and is clearly benefiting from the breeding ground for talent that Maui has proved itself to be.

In 4th place, an ecstatic Geovani Cervantes Peres not only made the final but succeeded in his goal of making the Main event here in Huntington Beach, something he was committed to do as he initiates his career here on the Stand UP World Tour. He experienced it all for the first time back in Brazil in 2012, and has come back stronger and ready to take on the very best in the world. Definitely a name to watch out for and another strong Mexican finisher here at this spectacular event in Surf City USA
