Locals triumph
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.
