U.S. Open of Surfing Action Continues

The Honda U.S. Open presented by O’Neill continued its action yesterday in Huntington Beach, California in the Round of 192 with three to five foot waves.  Charlie Brown of Sao Paulo Brazil lead after the competition by scoring the highest single wave score of 9.67 and followed that up with a second wave score of 7.00 giving him a total of 16.67 out of a possible 20.  With those two runs, Brown was able to eliminate the current No. 2 surfer on the ASP North America Pro Junior series Travis Beckmann, of Vero Beach Florida, and Nat Young from Santa Cruz, California.

“I think the conditions are pretty good,” Brown said. “This is my first time in the United States and I’m so happy to get two big scores right away and advance into the next round.”
