In a West Coast Board Riders’ heat, there are a total of 50 points that a team can earn. This would require each surfer scoring a perfect 10, including the Double Whammy surfer.

On their way to the win at yesterday’s WCBR North Division Event #3, which also secured their spot in the WCBR Championships at Lower Trestles on Saturday 9 May 2020, the Ventura Board Riders Club almost achieved it!

In the very first heat of the day, Ventura’s Whammy Surfer Jabe Swierkocki (don’t even try to pronounce it) dropped a perfect 10 to give Ventura an early lead over the field with a total heat score of 33.97.

In the Women’s heat a few hours later, Ventura’s Makena Burke also Whammied a 10 to take the heat win.

And it was in the last heat of the day when the Ventura 20’s dropped the hammer, turning in wave scores of 7.5, 18.26, 8.5 and 6.43 for a total heat score of 40.69.

Ventura claimed the cup on their home turf with a total event score of 213.69.

For the Division the Santa Cruz Board Riders Club won the north, with Ventura claiming 2nd, South Bay taking 3rd and first-year club SLO County coming in 4th.
