Surfing--San Juan Capistrano’s David Pinto advanced at the Body Glove SurfBout at Lower Trestles. The result was incorrect in Thursday’s paper.
Among county competitors, Laguna Beach surfers Brandy Faber and Jon Rose had some outstanding rides on the four- to five-foot surf. Advancing was Laguna Niguel’s Perry Faanes, Jason Senn of San Clemente, Peter Labrador of Fountain Valley and Cordell Miller of Costa Mesa. David Pinto, who performed well the last two days, was beat by Bogle and failed to advance.
The longboard events begin today followed by men’s bodyboarding and the women’s surf trials.
