McHenry Cruises In Finals, takes 1st Annual Rosarito Beach Pro Am Presented by Monster Energy

Residents and tourists of Rosarito Beach were treated to a one of the most talked about surf contests the City of Rosarito has ever hosted, as everyone in attendance was one hand to witness former ASP surfer and two time Puerto Escondido Champion, Eric McHenry (USA) cruise to one of the most memorable finals in recent memory.

McHenry, who was one of the early favorites to win the contest, pulled off two backside 360’s, and one aerial maneuver on back to back waves to beat out Jose Manuel Trujillo (MEX), Julio Quinones (MEX), and Sam Baugh (USA) in a brilliantly surfed thirty minute final by all competitors. With scores tight, and waves reaching as high as 6’ to 7’, McHenry was able to pull off some maneuvers that has made him famous in the world of surfing.

“The progressive level of surfing, combined with the sick waves made for an exciting contest and I was really stoked to win”, said Eric Mchenry. He continues on to say, "A huge thanks to all involved in putting on the Rosarito ProAM, all the sponsors, the city, the hotel and all the locals who supported the event. This couldn’t have been done without their support.”

The contest in Rosarito won’t be the last, as FDt Marketing, event organizers for the contest plan to continue negotiations with the City of Rosarito to make sure this contest becomes an annual event for the city and the surfers.

Hi Laura,

Another big thank you! I posted Fernando on the Carnival Cruise Connection.
Laura, he really was the highlight of our trip...he was like family. He took us to La Cetto winery,Rosarito Beach, & my daughter is still talking about the fish tacos we had.

My sister & will be planning another outing with Fernando next year.
A superb recommendation, no one wanted to go back to the cruise ship!

Thanks so much,
Jackie
