Final day of NSSA happening Tuesday; top seeds knocked out

As the Open Division advanced through Monday we saw some of the top seeds go down, like Hawaiian Kalani David (seeded number one) not making it through.

Southern California's top hope for a championship Taylor Clark also was knocked out. King of the Groms winner and just added to the ISA World Team, Daniel Glenn, fell short in his bid for the national title.

Huntington Beach's Jake Saenz had a great run into his heat, but an on target Josh Moniz from Hawaii ran away with the heat and a dark horse Kadin Panesi shut down Saenz and moved on to the QF round.

Tuesday will run the finals and should be a great one with Hawaii's Ezekiel Lau looking to claim the Open title along with his Explorer Title he won earlier in the week.
