It was a pleasant Sunday at Huntington Beach, great for sunning, not so great for surfing. The waves were in short supply on the final day of the NSSA Huntington Beach Conference Open, but that didn’t stop a couple of Warriors from pushing through and showing out. Both Jack Hopkins on the men’s side, and Ninon Mattei on the women’s, finished 11th overall after clawing through semifinal rounds that featured very few waves powerful enough to get up, much less ride.
