Chris Ward won the Cosmic Creek Challenge contest held in Salt Creek!!!
This contest is held every year and involves surfers competing on retro twin or single fin surfing boards. However, surfers cannot choose which board they will ride before the heat; instead, a lottery is held for each heat to determine who will ride a pre-prepared board. Therefore, if surfers cannot master the board, they will not be able to get high points, so they need to ride it in a way that suits the board.
Here are the final members of this event, which also featured Rasta and Donavan.
1. Chris Ward
2. Kalani Rob
3. Tyler Warren
4. Tom Curren
In 2007, Chris Ward was in the semi-finals of the Pipeline Masters, where he was qualifying for the WCT, but his board broke. He borrowed Shane Beschen's board and beat Shane Dorian, Kelly Slater, and Bruce Irons to qualify for the WCT. Ward is quite skillful.
Chris is currently testing the Aurora fins in California. By incorporating the opinions of world-class surfers who are picky about both boards and fins, we hope to release a new model of Aurora fins for heavier surfers with adult lines that allow for larger lines.
