What a crazy weekend! Volcom’s newest surf film BS! has been on a ragging West Coast premiere tour this last week, which finished off Friday night in San Luis Obispo at One Way Boardshop. Groms were getting crazy for free stuff before the movie started by devouring banana splits and complimentary bald spots shaved in their heads by team rider Andrew Doheny. It turned out to be a kick ass night which just seemed to fuel the fire for the Goldfish event the following day.

Saturday turned out over a hundred fired competitors for a day of shredding. Here are some highlights from Saturdays event.
The Groms rolled up showing off there freshly shaved bald spots from the night before and were ready to get down to business with there new aerodynamic hair cuts.

Vinny Leonelli, Mickey Clark, Keary Kennedy, and Chaz Elliott rounded out the Grom final.
In the Girls division it was Demi Boelsterli looking solid all day with her free surfing exhibition down the beach, but as the horn blasted to start the heat Jamie Hannula struck first like a Portuguese Man-o-war on a helpless tourist floundering in the ocean. Her attack ended up victorious as she walked away with a heap of prizes which included Vestal watch, Riviera Skateboard and a back pack loaded with other goodies. Rachel Harris, Amy Covert, Alex Ross and Kaitlyn Talin rounded out the final.
