King Of The Peak is on! 6-8ft NE Swell

By: Patrick Wieland



With a solid NE swell rocking the buoys on the coast of Florida, The king of the peak is on! Choppy Wedges are a normal condition for the King of the peak and the boys will be ready. With some big names of the sport fighting for the title and the unknowns trying to become the known this weekend. With over a 100 entries battling it out for the overall king of the peak title. The king of the peak title is one of most coveted titles on the east coast. Former Title holders include Kelly Slater, CJ Hobgood and many more east coast locals.


Winning the king of the peak wont come easy to anyone though. With a large NE swell forecasted for this weekend conditions will not be favorable. Large wedges will bounce off the jetty creating the famous peak but with 20-25mph winds the uncontrollable chop will make it hard for surfers to line up for the perfect spot. A constant fight against the current and wind will leave most surfers fighting for air. There is no better place to be this weekend on the east coast with over 10,000 dollars in prize and one of the most prestigious titles on the east coast. All eyes will be on the Peak this weekend to see which local boys can defend their break and take home the title.
