Hitting a late lip in my heat

Carving a cutback.

Friday’s competition saw head-high waves and light wind. We were able to complete 1 round from the pro, amateur, masters, and women’s divisions. I was nervous before hitting the water, which was unexpected– I guess I’ve never before gone into an event anything other than an underdog. It feels different now! Standouts today included Brawzhino and Kevin Pritchard. Both were pretty confident on the waves. Nat Gill also surprised with some great riding and powerful off-the-lips. The biggest upset was the knock-out of Bernd in his 1st heat.

Saturday should be windier and possibly better. Fingers crossed! I feel that I’ve done the work to win and now it’s just a matter of delivering. I think there’s a saying about how delivery is more important than substance? I don’t know if that whole statement is true, but at least there is a good deal of truth hidden in it.
