Today kicked off with some pretty good wave conditions. The wind was very light for Pozo... I competed on a 5.0 Manic that I borrowed off Ross Williams which was nice of him to lend me. In all my 13 years of coming here I have never competed on a 5.0 so I figure why bring the excess baggage? Well for the first time I needed one.. Lucky Ross brought it otherwise I could have been underpowered. I went out and did my best. I had two good jumps for me and a terrible wave ride. I was disgraced with my wave ride but they only counted one wave and two jumps. In the end I lost by a tie break which doesn't help much but it was close. I won on one sheet, tied on another sheet and lost by a half a point on the other sheet. Man it really pisses me off to loose... what doesnt kill us makes us stronger i guess. sometimes it takes a setback to see what really counts.. often we wonder why why why.. but I guess in some strange way it directs our lives where it all is suppose to go..
