Orange, CA (May 16, 2009) – It took five years, but Bucky Lasek finally got his Pro-tec Pool Party title. Before a packed house Saturday night at the Vans Skatepark in Orange, CA, Bucky Lasek claimed his first title and $25,000 with former winners Omar Hassan (2006) and Rune Glifberg (2005, 2007, 2008) placing second and third in a Pro Division final that featured charges by youngsters including 14-year old Brazillian Pedro Barros, 20 year-old Josh Borden and 17 year-old Josh Rodriguez.

Another electrifying performance by Chris Miller sealed his fifth Pro-tec Pool Party win in as many years, while the crowd for the Masters Division final was equally awed by Christian Hosoi’s contest debut after several years sitting out as a judge for the event. Dane Nicky Guerrero placed third.
