Sun Spotted takes you to the 2009 Hurley US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach where hometown boy Brett Simpson upset surf icon Kelly Slater and stole the winning spot away away from Mick Fanning.

In addition to bragging rights, Simpson also took home surfing's biggest victory purse ever - $100,000. A record-setting crowd came out in the hundreds of thousands to enjoy the action of ten to twelve feet waves from the comfort of stadium seating.
