FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Sunday, August 22, 2010) Yujiro Tsuji (JPN), 25, (red) won the 2* WQS Malibu presents the Murasaki Kitaizumi Pro his first WQS victory of his career! Shikoku's Yurijo Tsuji was up against good friends and WQS travel partner Teppei Tajima from Chiba. This man on man final was the one everyone was waiting for, the current JPSA ratings leader vs. the 2x ASP Japan Champ.
Yujiro took full advantage of Kitaizumi's 1-2 foot racing left handers with a variety of different aerial maneuvers. From the onset Yujiro took a commanding lead of the final with a 7.25 and 8.75 for a two wave total of 16.00!
Not to be shut down without a fight, Teppei bashed a left with a series of vicious vertical snaps to score himself a 8.00 and put him back into contention. The two surfers put on an amazing display of technical surfing but in the end it was Yujiro Tsuji who walked away with top honors!
This result for Yujiro and Teppei will be a big boost of confidence coming into the next JPSA event next week in Niijima, Japan. Yujiro currently leads the JPSA ratings for the 2010 season and Teppei is sitting at the top of those ratings as well!
A job well done to Kaito Ohashi (Blue), 19, for his job well done in the 2* WQS and the Under 20 Juniors division in Kitaizumi this week.
Kaito surfed in both divisions and made the final with a 2nd place finish in the Under 20 and and equal 3rd place finish in the WQS event!
The semi final finish is the best of his career to date and I'm confident that well will be hearing a lot from this youngster in the near future.
We would also like to give a shout out Japan/Hawaii representative Nick Mita for his equal 5th place finish. Nick will take this Quarter final finish and also move on to the next JPSA in Niijima.
Not only did Nick rip through the competition but he was also one of the main web announcers for this 2* WQS event. Nick worked everyday commentating in both Japanese and English for all of our viewing pleasure, so a job well done to him and all of our Vertra Japan Team!!! Otsukare sama desu!!!
