South Wellfleet, Massachusetts- Thanks to Tropical Storm Franklin, the 2005 Cape Cod Surfing Championships went down in style, with a record turnout of competitors. Utilizing double beaches, almost 100 competitors managed to get their share of the glassy, 3-5 foot perfect waves, finishing up just before dark. Competition Director Marc Angelillo said; "This was probably the biggest and most successful ESA surfing event ever held on the Cape."

As would be expected, locals had their way in many of the final heats. A few took multiple titles. Eric Anderson of Easton, Massachusetts edged out Steve Hassett of Hanover. Eric also topped Hassett for the Junior Longboard title, as well. Nora Vasconcellos of Pembroke charged the great surf, winning the Menehune Longboard Open Final, and taking the Girls title.

The only out-of-state rider to win multiple events was Narragansett, Rhode Island's Peter Pan, who took both the Legends and Legends Longboard divisions.

Charlie Frodigh, also of Pembroke, won the Boys title. Hannu Pechaukas of Orleans captured the Boys title. Mercy Reed of Orleans won the Womens Longboard division, while Hyannis stylist Shaye Cavanaugh topped the Mens Longboard Final. Jesse Rodriquez of Brockton won the Men's Bodyboard Final, while Katie Ryan of Sudbury took the Women's crown.

The toughest contest was the Mens division, where Wellfleet's Kai Potter edged out Scituate's John Basile for the win. Adam Lauro of Brewster won the Masters Final, while Matt Richards topped Brendan McCray for the Senior Men's crown. Both surfers are from nearby Orleans, Massachusetts. Marc Angelillo of Orleans took the Grandmaster's division, while Mianda Kielpinski of Hyannis captured the Junior Women's title.

The team event came down to a battle of local surf shops, as the Pump House topped Nauset Sports and The Boarding House for the crown. Gansett Juice of Rhode Island finished in the 4th spot, and Wear and Tear of Nantasket in 5th. The next ESA contest is scheduled for this coming Saturday, at the world famous Narragansett Town Beach. The contest will be on call after 6:00 PM on Friday night, the 5th of August, on the ESA Hotline 401-727-2605.
