Almost exactly in the middle of the Van Triple Crown of Surfing, a sold NW swell promises to bring big waves and even bigger surfing action to the North Shore of Oahu.  Organizers of the O’Neill World Cup of Surfing placed the event on standby, pending a solid ground swell that is lined up to hit Sunset Beach later today.

Prior to the break in competition, 18 year old Nat Young from Santa Cruz surpassed veteran surfers to post the highest score of the event (a 17.33 out of 20) despite his complete lack of experience surfing Sunset Beach. The growing waves promise to make the competition even fiercer as Mick Fanning and other pros take to the water.
