Talking OC Classic Results

The OC Spearos would like to thank all the competitors and spectators who came out to support the 2017 OC Classic Spearfishing Tournament & Raffle. We'd also like to thank our Amazing sponsors, especially Petros Charalambos Yiannikouros & Spear America for always supporting the Spearfishing community.

The OC Classic was the largest Spearfishing Tournament in Southern California history with 121 spearos competing to become Tournament Champion and over 300 hundred people in attendance for the weigh-in and raffle.

Congratulations to our top 5 competitors for succeeding in such a huge field of competitors & varying conditions!

1st: Austin Derry
2nd: Lauren Renteria
3rd: Paul Romanowski
4th: Ren Trinh
5th: Darvil Benjamin McBride McBride

Incredible turn out. You guys really have to give yourselves a huge pat on the back. The work it takes to put on these tournaments is beyond tireless. Nicely done OC Spearos!
