Nat's 3-Peat in Santa Cruz
09 November 2009
The pride of the west side, Nat Young, has once again walked away with a title from the competition at his home break of Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz. With his win in the Oakley Pro Junior on Sunday, Nat bagged a 3-peat in front of a massive crowd that had gathered to root on the local boy. Nat won the same event in 2007, and then in 2008, did the unthinkable by becoming the youngest-ever winner of the Cold Water Classic. While he was unable to defend his Cold Water Classic title, his win in massive surf at the Pro Junior means he's also won the Oakley Pro Junior ASP North America Championship and the ASP North America Pro Junior Series Title.
“I’m so psyched,” Nat said. “I wanted to win; I wanted to do well in this contest. I had a shocker in the WQS and it got me fired up and made me want to win.”
With the result, Nat has officially qualified for the prestigious ASP World Junior Championships to be held in North Narrabeen, Australia. With the form Nat's currently in, be on the lookout for the electrifying goofy-footer to represent in Oz.
