Gold in Santa Cruz

This March Team Mega dominated in Santa Cruz and I took my first international win :)
Cruising around in and RV, surfing the coast of California is hard work but someone has to do it right!...I headed out a few weeks early and with some great waves made the most the the time to train and raise my suring to the next level. It clearly paid off and by the competition was feeling physically strong and mentally confident. With favourable conditions i made it through each of the opening heats with some of the highest scores, placing me close to the top of the leaderboard going into the finals. Tough heats ensued, facing British Champion Dessie McGlinchey twice and World Champion Dave Johnston in the Final!...Taking the Gold was awesome and to add to the excitment, the rest of team Mega (Tam Green, Chris Hobson, Dave Speller) all had top results...bringing the silverwear very much back to the UK!
