Seaside Vacations

(Surf.Transworld.net)

Strong Northeast wind made for messy surf at the 2009 Eastern Surf Association (ESA) Championships on the Outer Banks, but Nick Rupp and Keenan Lineback made the most of the chop to repeat wins in the two biggest divisions, and most coveted titles: Junior Mens and Junior Womens (respectively).  Congrats to Nick and Keenan on 2008 and 2009 wins.   

Congratulations to all of the winners and thanks to all of the volunteers and participants that make the such a great surfing event possible on the OBX.
