DYLAN SOUTHWORTH COMPETES IN THE JAPAN QUIKSILVER OPEN

Translation: Heido Sundstrom

The participation of National Mexican Champion, Dylan Southworth, in the Japan Quiksilver Open has come to a close. This 4-Star WQS event of the ASP gave out a $95,000 dollar purse and ran from May 29th – June 2nd at Tsurigasaki Beach, Ichinomiya, Chosei, and Chiba in Japan.

Southworth placed second in his first heat of Round 64, but was surpassed by Australian Thomas Woods, who took first place.

In Round 32, Southworth stayed in fourth place and gained just 7.34 points for his best two waves. There was actually very little difference between the scores of his position and Chapman’s second place position, whose score totaled 8.40 points.

Getting to Round 32 was a good position for the Mexican surfer though, seeing as how the Japanese Open kicked off at Round 144.
