4th Annual King of the Hill Surf Competition presented by Neptune Baptist Church went down Saturday May 13th, in some small but fun conditions. Our Thompson Surf School students flooded the finals of almost every age division, including multiple 1st Place finishers. Head Instructor Evan Thompson, placed 1st in the Open Pro Division for the 4th time in a row, taking home a check for $1,000. Simon Durham took out the young guns U9 division. Gunner Snead aired his way to the only two perfect 10 Point Rides crowning him the champion of the U12 Division, followed by Simon, and Solon McLaughlin, & Jordan Venn. In the boys U14 divison Mr Ben McCarthy took home the title followed by Landon Wood. On the womens side Braidyn Cunningham finished a respective 3rd Place in the Womens Pro Divison.
Overall it was a great day for Thompson Surf School students, current, and alumni. We are very proud of the progress that each of our kids are making and the proof is in the pudding. Excited for next years King of the Hill Surf Fest!
