The waves weren't perfect on Saturday, September 18th, but there sure were plenty of them, and the best surfers rose to the occasion at the 15th Annual Clam JamPete Machotka & Royce Weber took out Jeff Pennella & Conor Willem in a close final heat (13.07 - 11.7).  We score each surfer's highest wave and add them together.  This year, we introduced a beta version of our new digital scoring system so surfers and fans can see live scoring as well as the bracket - check out the results here.  Congrats to Royce, who has won in back-to-back years, and to Pete, a longtime Jetty Ambassador who finally will have his name etched on the trophy!
