Good fun heat today. Came up against Melling. Love the way Mel surfs and it was a good close heat. See it here. Coupla shots courtesy of ASP. Got Taj and Ace in Round 4 now! Could be out there tomorrow.

The Tour is back on and so is Jimmy Lees. Here's some of his shots from the Goldy.

First event kicked off today and I lost my first heat. Bummer. The loss kinda woke me up and reminded me just how tough it is to get wins on the World Tour. I'm just psyched I get a second chance. Looking forward to getting out there tomozz and having a good dig. Got Otto in Round 2. Hope it turns out like our heat in Portugal.

Was pretty psyched that my heat with Otto got the nod for heat of the year at the ASP Awards. Bit of vid from the battle here.
