Wow awesome race! Definitely lived up to its name. Connor Baxter is a freak! Did Danny get around that first buoy?

Damn you Connor Baxter and Brian Szymanski. There's another board I'm going to have to buy.

Did you see Brian Szymanski on his new 17'6" board in the race before?.. That thing looked wicked.

The boards I use are "no brand" boards for now, my friends and I have left Nidecker at the beginning of the month

I use a board shaped by my friend Abel Cathelineau, there's no name on it yet.

If Kai and Slater and Zane decided to spend as much time race training as Connor does, I'd imagine the 4 of them would be equally impressive and hard to beat.

So Jacko finished 14th and so did Angie. What are the odds?

Jacko looked really good.. If only he had got a better start.

What a bummer that they had that scuba guy out there waiting for Jamie to round the last buoy and making him fall ..

Tomorrow will be interesting.
