Day 6 Cold Water Classic Canada: Finals
Thursday October 14 North Chesterman Beach - Josh Kerr Wins CWCC!

–Josh Kerr has won the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Canada 2010 ahead of Eric Geiselman in clean 4ft conditions on another epic sunny day in Tofino.

“It was a bit of a slow final,” said Josh after his and Eric’s fourth heat of the day. “You’re blood is pumping a lot harder to keep you warm. It takes it out of you,” he said. “But we are surfing in Canada – it’s a beautiful place. You’re in the mountains but by the beach. It’s a trip. I am stoked!”

“It was great surfing against Eric,” said Josh. “He’s one of the best new up and coming surfers around. I’ve respected that guy for years.”

Josh Kerr was a little skeptical of the crowd, after knocking out local Peter Devries in an earlier heat, but he was welcomed like the champion he is and escorted on shoulders of friends up the beach. Looking very happy Josh spoke with reporters about the contest and what he was going to do with the money.
