C Street in Ventura was on fire this weekend! Waves started small on Saturday for the men’s heats, but conditions improved steadily, with bigger, cleaner sets rolling in as the day progressed. The men’s A team put in a strong showing, with 3 out of 4 surfers advancing to Round 4 on Sunday. Sunday brought even better waves, with larger sets and sunny skies, making for ideal conditions. Ricardo Williams Bayly delivered a standout performance, reaching the semifinals on the men’s side, while Esme Bringham made waves of her own by reaching the women’s semifinals.

The event, however, couldn’t be fully completed due to limited daylight and will conclude in Oceanside at the next competition. Esme is looking to keep her momentum up, aiming for a spot in the finals to finish strong. The Tritons currently sit in 5th place, but with Esme still in the mix, they’re poised to make a last-minute jump in the rankings.
