Kane Sheckler, Hayden Johnson, Mateo Rael and Zach Traverrite were among the Bernice Ayer skaters who made it to the finals. Chance Power took home third place in the bowl contest and Traverrite placed third in street.
San Clemente High took care of business, sending four riders to the finals and won second place overall in the high school team division. James Whelan, Aidan Sarjeant, Iain Dickie and Griffin Crane all made it to the finals. Crane finished first in bowl while his teammate, Dickie, finished second in street.
Shorecliffs will get in on the action this week and compete in another event at Door 33. Round 2 of the season will be next month at the Volcom Outdoor event.
