Lucky 13 takes "Momma Girl" in Cocoa!

The circuit's youngest pro-girl, and my personal favorite took the "Mamma Girl" at Cocoa Beach this weekend setting a new record for Youngest Pro Girl winner ever! Zena "Lucky" Kim has only been surfing for 3 months already puts out more showtime than most guys!

"More floatin' than a log!"

Everyone was amazed to see this 13 year old perform a wide range of slick moves. Riding solid all day, she took over 50 rides scoring enormous with all the judges. This kid took everyone for a ride in back in time riding her 7 foot Ronjon's board, at 90 pounds, Lucky got more floatation than a canoe- "This girl has more floatin' than a log" shouts an opponent's coach!

"Long sweet rides from over there to over there.."

In deed Lucky rode from one side of the beach to the other side of the Pier making it almost impossible to take your eyes off her. Lucky pulled slow controlled turns riding elegantly all day long. Her Manager Steven Trontin explains "She knows what she's doing- Pulls long sweet rides from all the way over there, then ends-up all the way over there!" Lucky was having no problem catching waves sometimes bumping guys off waves calling them out from behind!

This was another team sweep as the "Jon'ny J Surf Team" took both the men's championship when Dandy Jiles ripped solid on his Quiet Flight taking more than 40 rides! Lucky's excellent rips got her the woman's championship making this sweep #40 all time sweep by members of the same team on the ACME Surf circuit! Congrats Jon'ny!

"This girl knows what she's doing!"

Lucky winning her very first event came as a surprise to everyone, even the team's manager, Seven Trontin didn't expect a win on her first outing. Surfing for Ronjon's Surf Shop since April, "Lucky always enjoyed watching surfing on the deuce (ESPN2) and I guess that helped her assimilate faster out there. I mean this girl knows what she's doing! She's catching tons of rides today man!" Trontin ads. He feels confident with the right coaching and a positive attitude, she could be the next Due Shwantz!

I have to agree. She could be the next Shwantz considering she's so smooth and even exotic looking! I assume that's never gonna hurt her with the judges. "She's pretty and amicable loved by all her peers" says Trontin. And so she was at the press conference smiling through the hour long Q&A as she did the entire day, Lucky mad a lot of fans today.

"Even the pier couldn't stop Lucky 13!"

Watch-out for this girl! We're seeing a champ in the making. Lucky has a style that's truly artistic. She took rides this weekend even the pier couldn't stop!
