I was on the scene the whole weekend waiting for a spot to open for me to put a rashy on and attempt to win some heats... Turns out i was an Alternate and i didn't get to surf at all...
Naturally devo'd i took 2 pooey photos and went and got drunk with friends saturday night. (see party section for details)
I'll be brief with comp details here.
Nat Young won...
A hawaiin kid named keanu Asing placed 2nd....
Corey Arambide placed 3rd
Cody Thompson came in 4th
My honest opinion, the judging was out of wack alot of the time, Common in most junior contests but this was weird. It Could just be a bias opinion comming from a competitor from another country with a different criteria or something. But they through out some huge scores for some average surfing.
But ohwell, thats expected in shitty waves...
Check Mat Meolas perfect 10 -the only one of the event.
Was that 1 manouver wave a 10 ? you be the judge...
Apparently this was pumping Newport , It was 1-2ft and closing out a bit... This photo is a decepticon, makes it look alot better then it actually was...
My opinion... Nat was the best surfer of the event and that keanu kid tears.
and quinn Mccrystal got ripped off in a heat...

Other then that, great event, Pyched for the Nike 6.0 pier pressure at the end of the month.
stay tuned for that... x
