While you were inside huddling from the cold, the New England Mid-Winter Surf Championships were taking place at Narragansett's Town Beach
The winds were 25-30 knots, the water temperature was 32 degrees, and
the air temperature was 28 degrees. With a solid 2-4 foot swell
running, all ingredients were there for another successful Eastern
Surfing Association winter contest.
There were also big wins from Cambridge and Boston residents.
In a big shocker, it was 70-year old Grand Legend, Kitty Pechet of
Cambridge, Massachusetts, charging to the win in the Women's Open
Final. Kitty picked off two solid rights, working them into the beach
for the title. Narragansett's Courtney Sutherland took the 2nd spot,
while Connecticut's top female rider, Sarah Lim finished 3rd.
New England's top body boarder, East Coast and Regional finalist, Pat
Redmond of Boston, continued to remain undefeated in competition, as he
"el rollo-ed" his way to victory in the Open Body Board Final.
