Santa Cruz: Day 2

A nice 10ft swell was producing some good surf at the Lane this morning and I was fired for up for a good heat. Hoping for a slot wave i went really deep to begin with but was unlucky and got caught on the inside, taking a good beating. With 5 mins gone and no waves, the pressure was really on. I secured a couple of solid rides with some nice smooth roundhouses, but struggled to find a 3rd good ride. However, the points I had were enough to secure another 1st and I progress through to the quarter finals tomorrow, ranked in 2nd place, behind world champion Rusty Sage.
