August 8th, 2010 by Adam

The Huntington Beach local claimed victory at the 2010 US Open of Surfing. Brett beat out South African surfer, Jordy Smith, the current ASP #1. Simpson’s heat total of 13.97 out of 20 topped Smith’s score of 8.33, making him the first back-to-back Open winner since Mark Occhilupo in 1985-86.

Simpson took home a record $100,000 for winning the Open. A pretty nice payday for surfing about 1,000 waves this past week.
