San Clemente's own, Mike Losness, became the first non-Huntington resident to win the Vans Pier Classic presented by Jack's. It was a wave starved contest that finished on a cold, windy, and all-around ugly day at southside Huntington Beach Pier.

Losness was able to find two good scoring waves in the difficult conditions and in the process became $5,000 richer. "The waves were not amazing all week, they were kind of small, but still rippable and still fun," he said after his heat. "I came up to this event not expecting too much, I had the goal of making the Quarterfinals and once I did, I figured anything after this is good."

Dillon Perillo, who had already won the Pro Junior of the event, was also in the final. This was the second time I've witnessed Perillo achieve this feat, he did the same thing at the Oakley Pro in Newport Beach a few months ago.

"I'm so stoked to have won the first contest," said Perillo. "Every heat I just tried to stay focused and do the same thing and I had three heats back-to-back. I just had fun and tried to not get too tired."

All and all it was a fun contest because it was Spring Break and there were tons of girls on the beach all week. The waves may have been small, but the chick-o-meter was high, so I had a pretty good time.
