SNAPPER SUBS

Stop, drop and roll. //Kirstin/ASP

Survived my round three heat today with Kai Otton. We laughed about it… we drew each other four or five times in 2009 so it was funny we got each other again today. Just like old times. Otto has been surfing so well all contest and surfed a great heat. I squeezed through some of the smallest and roundest below sea level low tide tubes and managed to sneak through.

I’ve got Taj and Alejo Muniz tomorrow… looking forward to it.

TAHITI NEWY

This is hard to watch knowing I’m not going to be there this year.

Still, had a laugh with Andy’s shotgun claim at the end… he thought he’d won the heat with that barrel, but while he was firing his shotty Deano was behind him on the winning wave! Still, I reckon we’re going to see some crazy stuff from Andy in Tahiti this year. Would love to see him in a final.

J-BAY NOT FAR AWAY
