KA vs JW

Here are some pics of the heat between last year’s US Open champ Julian Wilson, Kolohe Andino and Sebastian Zietz in Huntington the other day. It ended up being a contest between KA and JW and since it was 3-man heat we got to see some good ‘ol Huntington Beach paddle battles. The kids were going at each other like two brothers from different mothers. See the drama in still pics below. All photos: Hayota Masuda.

Julian’s nailed the biggest score of the heat on the lefts. Just like how he won last year.

Kolohe stomped his airs and ended up taking the win.
