celebrations

February 7, 2010

This is Richie Vass (Middle) and KidMac (Right). It was so good to have two of my best mates around while the comp was on. We had a couple Sunset beers after the final then Jamie threw a crazy party at his house later that night.

It might be true that no one remembers second let alone third. But i wont for get how much fun i had in this event. 5 heats at pumping pipe with only 3 other guys in the water was like a dream!

A little local knowledge goes a long way in the world of surf travel. Dan ross and i were about to paddle out at a three foot onshore point break in Santa Cruz till a local told us to head down the coast. We found this an hour away!

More Jaws…..

This was the other pit i got. Its so bumpy inside the barrel at jaws, it makes it really hard to keep your rail in and hold a line . Kind of like skiiing down a really bumpy  ski run, you know when your going really fast then you try go from one rail to the other, hit a bump and you end up cart wheeling down to the chair lift.

Hippo and i partied in hollywood for three nights before this swell! not the best preparation for Jaws. Luckily it wasn’t a huge day, i dont think i could have dealt with it if it was much bigger haha There were still some really fun barrels though.
