With a $100,000 bonus in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Vans Triple Crown Series, a $30,000 Harley Davidson and a $10,000 custom Nixon watch, Oakley team rider Sebastian Zietz could very well be the most wanted man on the North Shore after winning the entire Vans Triple Crown of Surfing series.  Zietz battled some of the best local and international surfers in the world to prove himself at three of Oahu’s most iconic breaks – Haleiwa, Sunset Beach and Pipeline.  The young Kauai local has more to look forward to as he moves into the new year as one of the 2013 rookie ASP World Championship Tour competitors.  Listen to what Seabass has to say himself about his winter competition experience on the North Shore!
