Team Hawaii has conquered the 2012 Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship, in at Colorado Beach. Surfing in well-overhead waves on the final day of competition, the Hawaiians won six individual medals and clinched the Team Gold Medal and the perpetual Eduardo Arena Trophy. “The depth of the talent that we brought with us – Sunny [Garcia], Kaipo [Jaquias] and Rochelle [Ballard] – was a pretty big edge to begin with, and then to have Nelson, who’s one of the coolest dudes in the world, and Glenn, who is a master shaper, it was a really good dynamic,” said Mike Latronic, who was both a competitor and team manager for the Hawaiians.
