Surfer Mag just wrapped their annual awards night. Winners were crowned, comedians were booed and the live music scoring from the Mattson Two was spot on. However, it was Mason Ho that owned the evening at Turtle Bay, not only did he pick up Best Breakthrough Performance and Best Web Series in the poll, he was entertaining as always. Bruce Irons (with a fresh shade of hair), Lyndie and the kids presented the AI award, which also went to Mase…
