June 9, 2015 – Kailua, Hawaii – The Ninth Annual HIC/Quiksilver All-Military Surf Classic, Presented by MWR-Hawaii, was held on Saturday, June 6th at White Plains Beach on Oahu’s south-west shore. One hundred and forty contestants enjoyed a day of surf, sun, friendly competition and camaraderie with fellow surfers of the U.S. Military and Department of Defense; including retirees and dependents.

The event was held in knee to chest high waves, with glassy conditions in the morning turning to side-shore winds in the afternoon. Competitors were separated into five Active-Duty divisions and nine Open division, including both shortboard and longboard surfing.

This year’s Top Branch Award went to the Navy with a total of 368 points, edging out the Air Force with 360 points to win the coveted gold cup. Last year’s winners, the Army, dropped to a distant fourth place with 290 points, behind the Coast Guard who finished with 352 points. Points are scored for the top three finishers in each of the five Active-Duty divisions and accumulated by branch to determine the Top Branch Award winners.

The All-Military Surf Classic is organized by Marvin Nuestra and his White Plains Lifeguard staff, with the support of MWR-Hawaii, whose mission it is to improve the lives of US Military Personnel and their families. A special mahalo to these brands for providing prizes for all division finalists:  Quiksilver, Roxy, Arnet, Bubble Gum, Freestyle, Fox, HIC, Hurley, Kicks, Kreed & Crush, Rip Curl, Sun Bum, Surfboard Factory Outlet, Surfco, Xcel and Vans.
