Gold at Santa Cruz

So i'm recovering from jet lag slowly but really excited to have won the Gold at Santa Cruz. The conditions were changing from heat to heat on Sunday. Strong wind made the quarter finals particularly tough but i managed to remain unbeaten throughout and pulling off a nice air in the final, scoring a max 30pts for that wave secured the title...for the 2nd year in a row :) awesome!
Big congrats to Matt Radis (silver), Rusty Sage (Bronze) and Dave Johnston (4th) who helped make a spectacular final. Also cheers to Devon and family who put up with me for a week...Also seen a couple of cracking shots of Devon from his 2nd round heat...nice job!

Well done to everyone else in the Mega Flying Squad who put in excellent performances (full magazine report coming soon...watch this space). Great to see Malcolm out there too...still ripping!
