USA Prime America starts their National Finals today in Huntington Beach

USA Prime America stopped in Huntington Beach for the next three days to hold their National Finals for Long board, SUP, and Senior divisions. Once again overcast skies along the coast and workable 2' to 3'ish foot surf. Dana Point's Elenna Lulu Erkeneff 16 yrs old, took home the Girls National Long Board title this afternoon with an almost perfect heat never giving up the lead. Elenna wil be surfing for the Girls Short board National Title this week when the USA Prime America takes over Lowers later next week.

"This is my first championship, I've never won a national title, came close before came in fourth one year in this division two years ago and I got second in under 14 short board three years ago." says Erkeneff. "There where some good lefts and I was having fun on them."
