Share via

Costa Mesa resident Brandon Parole, 15, toppled a two-time reigning

champion and won the Manhattan Beach National Bodysurfing Competition

Saturday near the Manhattan Beach Pier.

Younger brother Cody Parole, 13, finished sixth in the same

division (boys ages 13-18).

The elder Parole finished second in his heat in the preliminaries

to qualify for the finals, while Cody Parole won his heat in the

prelims. The top six out of 18 individuals qualify for the finals.

Both locals, who are members in the Newport Beach lifeguard

program, advance to compete in the World Bodysurfing championships in

Oceanside at the end of the month.
