2024 Newport Classic Graduated Division Finals

The 23rd Annual Newport Classic is something the local Newport Beach surfers look forward to every year. Hosted by the Newport Harbor High School Surf Team, this two day even has multiple age categories and draws over 100 surfers. The grand finale of the event is the Graduated (open) finals where the best surfers compete for the Open title. This year had some challenging surf for the heat, but the rippers were able to make the most of what they had to work with and these are the waves from the heat. Congratulations to David O'Keefe on finishing in first followed by Kei Kobayashi, Tyler Gunter, and Ty Burgess. Enjoy...
