The winner, riding LOST's best competition board, the "DRIVER" model, was:
"Crosby Colapinto" 17 years old!
The WSL QS1500 was held yesterday in Huntington Beach.
He won the sponsored tournament JACKS PRO.
His name is Crosby Colapinto, 17 years old, and his older brother is Griffin Colapinto.
Surfing on the Crosby Colapinto involves sliding forward without stopping on the lip, as if you're flying forward.This movement is the same as that on the Kolohe and Griffin, and can only be done when riding the
DRIVER model!
And yesterday's big winner was this guy! Uncle Nate, also known as Nate Iyoman, 37 years old!
He entered the tournament as the number one ranked seed and also because it was a sponsored tournament, the JACKS PRO. He was ranked 10th in the world in 2018 and faced local surfer Kanoa Igarashi, who has won two consecutive US Opens at this venue, in the semi-finals, but made a huge comeback on his last ride to win and come in third place.
Nate Iyoman's job is selling LOST surfboards, and he's a good surfer.
He is said to be the highest ranked surfboard salesman in the world!
The board he was riding was this 5'11
SUB-DRIVER !
The man holding the board in this photo is Nate Iyoman's dad.
And one more person! The winner riding the "
DRIVER " model was
It's Alessa Quizon!
He won the WSL QS6000 in Sydney, Australia, so maybe he'll be able to return to the Wild West in 2020!
The team's victory proves that the LOST ``
DRIVER '' model is really in good condition!
Surely competitors whose lives depend on their boards can't win without this?
