Check out these girls they surf together Thursday morning before the US Open. In from Hawaii Coco Ho & Sage Erickson from Ventura, CA having a little free surf before the big event. They were truly having fun with no worries for the big hype that comes with the US Open. Coco & Sage were both finalist in the girls. Coco taking 1st and Sage picking up 3rd and Coco Ho went into the women's final against a fellow Hawaiian Malia Manuel coming in at 14 years old. Coco exchanged waves until the end but fell short in the women's final against Malia Manuel the youngest women to ever win the US Open of Surfing.
Congrats to Coco Ho for coming 1st in the Supergirl junior pro & 2nd in the women's US Open of Surfing.
