THE TRIPLE CROWN
Posted in Freestyling,Photos,World Tour
Just a quick note to let you all know I won’t be surfing in all three events of the Triple Crown in Hawaii this year. While I’ll definitely be surfing the Pipe Masters, and I might even surf the Sunset event, I definitely won’t be at Haleiwa which means I probably won’t be any chance of winning the Triple Crown this year.
I just plan to relax a little more in Hawaii this year, and for a couple of weeks anyway just focus on my freesurfing, my family and friends. I’m planning on taking my family across to Kauai to spend some time with Lyndie and Andy Jr. Of all the Hawaiian seasons I’ve done, I’ve never gone and been able to hang out to much on the other islands and with my friends over there for any long period of time, and I’m really looking forward to a week or two over on Kauai then coming back to Oahu and just freesurfing to focus on Pipe.
I’d love to win at Pipeline – every surfer would – and I reckon I’m giving myself the best chance this year by not doing the whole Triple Crown. The last few Hawaiian seasons – and the last few months in general – have been pretty intense, so I just felt it was a good time to take a couple of weeks to pull back a little and keep my surfing fun and fresh.
To win three Triple Crowns is such an honour and something I could never have even dreamed of as a kid, and I’ll be giving everything I’ve got to win another one next year. I’ll be watching on with interest this year and it’d be great if the Triple Crown went into Pipe with half a dozen guys all duking it out to take it.
Mahalo.
