The 2nd stop of the Arnette Cash Pot Surf Series took place this past weekend at Prospect Street in Newport Beach with 80 contestants, some driving all the way from La Jolla, San Diego and Oxnard. The waves were small, but the sun was shining and the girls were on the beach in full force catching the action.  Even though the waves were only 1-2 feet it did not stop the guys from flaring up and doing some massive hacks and innovative moves.  Guys were pulling off some incredible tricks and Pete Mussio did not disappoint the crowd, with his superman and two slob airs on one wave.  Newport’s own, Josh Hoyer, made it two finals in a row and skated home with a little extra cash in his pocket on Saturday. However, the big winner of the day was Pete Mussio who won the Pro-Am division and his first round heat and walked away with $550 in cash to show for it.  Also, big props to local boy Colin Moran for winning the 16 and under division, his first round heat and the specialty heat, walking away with $300 in his pocket. The event was a banger and the next one will be even better!
