After a second year of exploring the globe for remote world-class waves, following four events on four different continents, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2010 comes down to this iconic event.
In the birthplace of O'Neill and still the home of Jack O'Neill and his family, the Santa Cruz final is the perfect place to crown the Overall Series Winner 2010.
With the swell decreasing from today's 2-3 foot conditions, before picking up again towards the end of the week, contest organizers had to storm through the local trials early in the morning and straight into the round of 128.
Jason Collins aka Ratboy posted the highest heat total of the day with a 14.33 out of a possible 20! The Geiselman brothers were up against each other in the round of 128 with Evan finishing top ahead of his brother Eric, the runner up at the Cold Water Classic Canada last week.
