SO FAR SO GOOD

Posted in Photos, World Tour

So far so good. My heat today at Snapper was a pretty interesting one. The tide was almost low by the time I paddled out and there were four foot sets out there, so it made for some interesting waves behind the rock at Snapper. Some of them were so square you had no chance of getting into them. You kind of had to wait and find one to let you in, but when you got one of them they were sick. It reminded me a lot of the finals day here in 2007. I surfed against Kekoa and my young mate Blake Ainsworth, and it was pretty close for most of the heat today but I always felt like I had it under control. Not my best heat ever, but it was solid and I felt good coming out of the water. It’s a relief to have that first heat out of the way and to get a win, because last year I lost my first heat at D-Bah and I had to visit the room of mirrors a bit… I went fishing for the day. The only casualty today was I creased one of my good boards, but I’ll take the win and the day off tomorrow.

I’m hearing the coverage on Fuel TV today was epic. If you can get in front of a TV with Fuel you should.

IT’S ON…

Just heard the call that the Quikky Pro is going to run today. The tide is a bit high this morning – they’re big tides at the moment – but by my heat around lunchtime the tide should be right out and there should be some really fun ones behind the rock at Snapper. I’ve got Kekoa and local wildcard Blake Ainsworth. Can’t wait to get amongst it.

The contest will be webcast but will also be on Fuel TV.
