THREE LOCALS COMPETE Russ 4th In His Heat In National Surfing Meet IIYTONIA IKKST Stan Russ of Sunset Beach, a ris ing freshman at West Brunswick High School, placed fourth in his heat in a national surling competi tion in California on June 27. He and two other local surfers, Joe Powell and Rocky Fallon, rode a bus to compete in the week long event sponsored by the National Student Surfing Association (NSSA). They left Friday, June 21, and re turned Monday, July 1. "I'll never ride a bus again." Stan said. "Not a even a school bus." He said the competition consisted of heats for divisions from boys age 13 to 14 to adult men. The three boys were able to go because they placed in the top six of the NSSA competition. Their surf team leader at Shallottc Middle School, Martic Mentzer, encouraged them to attend. The event differed in several ways from the ones in which Stan is accustomed to competing. As a surfer would catch a wave, the judges would suite the surfer's name and age and give other per sonal information over the loud speaker. Also, music was played continuously and could be heard in the water. ? m usr'nr 7 STAFF PmOTO BY TON'A TRES STAN R USS stands beside the surfboards that helped him to plaee fourth in his heat in a national surfing competition in California, lie won the trophies in a varitey of surfing events.

Joe and Rocky hoih placed sixth in their heals. Stan, 14, has been surling lor lour or live years. Mis brother-in law got him started, he said, but liv ing at the beach sparked his interest. "Hie Pacific ocean is colder and the waves arc bigger, so he "could not do as many maneuvers." He had to wear a wet suit anil bought a spring suit while he was there. The surfboards suffered some damage, but Stan saiil that didn't affect his surfing. He credits practice and good luck in his doing so well. "If the kids in your heat can't surf, then that helps a lot, " he said. "I practice every day that I can go to the beach." Stan got a lot of practice during Tropical Storm Bertha, but during Hurricane Hugo he was in a cast. When asked what he plans to do next in surling, he simply replied, "Go for it. Thai's all you can do." Stan said he plans to join the surf team al West Brunswick High School in the fall and enter as many contests as he can. He is the son of Alan and Peggy Russ. window treatments ON SALE ?FREE MEASURING fr ESTIMATES* T,,E BLIND COINNECTION CALL (803) 249-1 790 102 Sundial Onlrr/North Myrtle Bcach SEKVriGi SHALLOTTE ?
