PRESS RELEASE:

The Sunset Beach Pro will set a new standard in 2014
The Sunset Beach Pro will set a new standard for the Tour and the sport as a whole in 2014 as it celebrates its 5th year anniversary as the prestigious World Championship Tour Opener. With a packed field of the very best international athletes coming up against a wealth of local talent throughout all the islands, the first showdown of the year will once again set the standard for high performance Stand Up Paddlesurfing at its very best.
While Tour stand outs such as 3x World Champion and 2x event winner Kai Lenny (Naish), Caio Vaz (Art in Surf), 2012 World Champion Leco Salazar and Sean Poynter (Starboard) will be on a mission to start the year out on a high, local favorites such as Robin Johnston (Mistral) who finished 2nd last year at Sunset and has been Top 5 since the Tours inception, Ikaika Kalama (Rogue), Kala Alexander and Aaron Napoleon (Rogue) will be looking to stand strong at home on Oahu’s fabled North Shore.
Also to watch out for was last year’s breakout athlete at Sunset, Kekoa Auwae, who stunned the world with an incredible display of performance surfing, but also the young Mo Freitas (Focus / Body Glove), who continues to assert his presence on Tour with stand out performances.
However, as is always the case at this prestigious World Tour Opener, Sunset Beach ends up being the star of the show, so make sure not to miss this dramatic event unfold from the 8th – 16th February out here on Oahu’s Fabled North Shore.
