Hi guys well another year in tahiti and we were all stoked again with the waves and tahitian peoples kindness .I traveled to tahiti early for a photo shoot with my new board sponsor starboard which was great

fun testing the new equipment for 2013 .I was looking forward to jumping on a starboard for the first time which happened to be the 4 days before the event. The surf was not as big as last year but still very challenging to say the least ....one thing about tahiti is knowing the break and knowing that if you fall you will pay the price ...going up on the reef .So once we were at the event site i pretty much surfed my brains out at the break and trained on my new 8,0 starboard till i felt comfortable with where i was at . Tahiti is very laid back and everyone is kind and giving but when the contest starts its game on . The internet over there is not so good so its very hard with live feeds unless you have a big budget so the contest guys were doing there best to relay to the world what was happening .
I really wanted to make a point of winning my heats and not just get through so i was stoked to win every heat to the final ...but came up short in 3rd ....i was really stoked and had a great week in tahiti , big congrats to everyone and especially sean poynter for the win . Id like to thank my family and partner shelly for her support at home , and without her i would not be able to do this also quicksilver for there
support and confidence in me , starboard sup for there great boards and equipment and Kona red for there
