As others have commented here: You and Mick both seem to have great personalities and know how to spread the stoke of surfing. You are a great example to others and for that I Thank you! Surfing at the level you and the other Pro do brings the ability to be a hero, a mentor, an ambassador to the sport and it is not wasted on guys that do it like you do. Last week, I was snowboarding in Tahoe, California, USA. That's where I live. I met a guy from Huntington Beach on the lift and we chatted enough to figure we were both missing a giant swell on the coast but realized how lucky we were to be in the situation where we could choose between epic surf and powder runs on our boards. We talked more about surfing and he remarked how he was a big fan of yours and was so bummed out when you lost. I told him how I was rooting for Mick, was there at Trestles when he won, and how I had always been a Kelly fan but had sort of switched; dropped the flag waving aspect and saw a new attitude and approach to surfing that I liked. He shared the same sentiment. After that lift ride up I am now wondering who will I root for this year? Uh shit! Probably Bobby M. LOL. Good luck this year. Let me know when you are coming to Tahoe for some snow. Bring the kids I got a bunch too! Now go grab a Toohies Old! (my favorite Aussie Beer) Joel,

I was gunning for you so hard and when that wave that everyone was sure would be the last of the heat didnt give you anything I was spewing thinking it would be another one of those years for you. Then as you paddled out looking pissed yourself you stroked into that pefect little pit that seemed to come staright to you with only a few seconds left I knew you were going to win that event after that and really thought the title would be yours after that heat.
