So i've just left Hawaii, just landed in LAX , 3 hrs here then off to Washington, then onto Johannesburg and finally onto Durban. Obviously, for me, my year didn't turn out the way I planned at the beginning result wise, but I still had a bloody fun year, waves weren't the best, we pretty much got skunked a lot this year on the CT, but it was really good to finish the year off in pumping waves at pipe. And one massive congrats to Mick for claiming his 2nd Word Title, big ups to him for pulling that off! SO i guess I'm back on the QS grind next year, which is fine cause I learnt a lot this year and hopefully that will pay off in 2010... And also want to send a shout out to Greg Emslie, thanks for all the good times, great inspiration and helping me out so much on tour, good luck with your next chapter, sure you won't be missing those 18 hr flights and layovers... ENjoy the retirement from pro surfing!

Anyways, I'm off to have a fun few weeks at home with the family before it all starts up again next year. Enjoy your Christmas and New Year and here's to a cracker 2010!

Peace

So I've been on the North Shore now for about 5 days, had our first proper day at Pipe since I've been here and probably in the last month too. Some pretty solid ones, hard to get the right ones but good to be out there again and in some sizey waves.
Sunset event just finished today too with Parko taking the honors from Sunny, Travis was just confirmed to be on next year's WCT so big up to him for getting back on after a year back on the QS.

But what we have on our hands at the moment is the perfect storm just about to hit the islands!!! They're calling this next swell that hits tomorrow to be HUGE, 40 -50 ft, Eddie going to run, they closing down Kam highway, things are going to get gnarly here, probably going to have to stock up on some items from foodland to make sure we're good for the next few days. It's definitely going to be interesting to see what happens, just heard now that the bouy reading is the largest ever recorded in history!!!!!!! Heavy days boys and girls!!!!!

Will report back in a few days to let you know of the carnage to the North Shore!

Holding down the fort here...
