It was a tough day of competition today. Big Big surf on the main site and big closeouts on the south site. Big congrats to Ashley and Andy on making the Quarter finals of the mens open class. Its Ashley's 4th worlds and this is as far as he has made it in the individuals. Andy has come through the prelims and has made it through 4 rounds so far and both the guys are in the running for a top 10 placing. Me and Andy drew each other in todays heat and the last 5 mins of the heat were nerve racking. We were placed 1-2 and it was a case of holding back and making sure that we got the set waves and making sure that the other paddlers werent any of them. There was man hugs after the buzzer.
Not sure on whats happening tomorrow. Its either the quarters of the mens or the finals of the team.
Big congrats to Corin who has made his second junior final of theis contest. He and Andy were in the same semi and Andy finished third and didnt get to the final of the Hp. Both the lads are in the final of the IC class and were hoping they can cliam the top two spots on the podium. The rest of use are looking forward to throwing them in the pool.(Its an ocean spirit tradition)
