SEA ISLE CITY - The Heritage Oakley Pro Junior wrapped up Saturday in a tight final. Of the nearly 100 surfers who began the event, it was down to four, and for the second year in a row, Cory Arrambide, of Ventura, Calif., took the title and $2,500.

But the biggest surprise of the weekend was Ocean City's Rob Kelly, who took second place.

When he aced his semifinal, Kelly, who graduated from Ocean City High School in June, became the first New Jersey surfer to ever go to the final of an Association of Surfing Professional Junior event.

In its fifth year, the Heritage Pro Junior has become a favorite stop for many on the domestic circuit, which offers money and experience to young surfers trying to make a career of surfing. More
