THE WIN WAS A BONUS

Posted in Photos,World Tour

Fully whipped. //Shorty

How good was today? I thought when I paddled out for my Quik Pro heat that it was as good as Snapper was going to get, but then it just kept getting better and better all day. It was a bit hit and miss when I paddled out for my heat with Dusty, and no one had been barrelled all day because of the high tide… but the tide was dropping and I knew they were there. I was pretty confident I could find a couple and I was lucky enough to get two in the first five minutes. It was a real danger heat for me cause Dusty is a freak, and I was pretty stoked to make it through to the next round.

I watched the last few heats from home on Fuel and was blown away by how good it got. My God, how was Bede’s heat? Are you kidding me? It was like watching Backdoor some of those barrels, and I’m just hoping it’s as good tomorrow. Am pretty psyching on my heat with Freddy, and just hope we get some waves like today. I’ll just be happy if I get barrelled a few times.
