Local Body Boarder Makes East Coast History

OCEAN CITY – An Ocean City local did this month what he had never done before -- secured a place in the Hawaiian U.S. Pro Tour body boarding contest’s finals.

The United States Bodyboarding Association’s (USBA) Pro Tour just held its stop in Hawaii for the Sandy Beach Pro on July 7-8 where local Brian Stoehr placed fourth in the contest, leaving him ranked third overall, as he heads to the final contest, Jenks Pro, at Jenkinson’s Beach, N.J., on Sept. 1.

“This is the best I’ve ever been sitting going into the final event,” said Stoehr, who has won the overall title for U.S. National Pro Tour DK Champion based on points twice before, at the age of 29 and 30.
