4th place in the under 16 class! Kei Kobayashi, 15 years old, currently on a trip to Santa Cruz!

Reporting from California after Sunday! He took his newly completed board to Santa Cruz. Kei Kobayashi, 15 years old, was in top form this week and achieved great results! The event was also featured in the local newspaper, and photos of the riding were also published as shown here! He seems to be concentrating before the heat. The waves were over 10 feet, the biggest waves he had ever seen in a contest. The event was held on Steamer Lane in tough conditions. Recently I've been making big turns like this with long rails. On the final day, I competed in two classes, the under-18 class and the under-16 class. Apparently he did six heats and looked quite tired by the time of the final. The results are: The under 16 class placed 4th in the final! The under 18 class did well and made it all the way to the semi-finals. This Prime Tour is still ongoing, so I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Thank you for your support!
