CARISSA MOORE!! that's right, she won the Roxy Pro today! So stoked for her. she's been training hard physically and mentally for this year's tour and looks like they are all paying off.
great start for her. the 1st event and 1st win this season. Go my fellow townie! ha ha.
It was interesting to watch this year's women's event because there are so many younger surfers. I must say the younger surfers are way better than all of the surfers who's been on the tour for while. it's nice to see more explosive surfing from the younger pros.
personally, i wanted to see Carissa and Coco in the final. Coco was surfing unreal too. If she had any other quarter finals heat, she would've advanced with her 14.50.
not a bad start for Coco, equal 5th! yes, like i've been saying for years... i still do want to surf like Coco when i grow up. ha ha.

Mens event still got one more day left. Dusty Payne is still in the game and he's killing it out there. he got Kelly Slater on his quarter final BUT he already took down Mic Fanning. I seriously think Dusty can take Kelly down too if he can keep surfing how he's been surfing.
watching all the amazing surfing got me all itchy to surf so went to Kewalos for a session.
Kaito showed up and had another Fryto moment... he brought all center fins for his board. no one else had any extra sets for he ended up surfing with them. just Kaito doing normal Kaito thing. ha ha.
I'm getting a new board shaped by Brice and he was there as well so i had a long talk with him about what i want and surf boards in general.
he also had some boards for me to try out to see what i like.
I love talking to Brice because he's good at explaining boards. I have no idea what different things on boards do to their characteristics. i just telling how i felt about the board i was trying and he explains to me in "dummy language" why the board was riding certain ways.
i learned a lot from him today. maybe i'll have him do a video series explaining surfboards soon so all of you can learn too.
we've decided what will be good for me. it's going to be a little modify version of Ezekiel Lau model. can't wait to try it out! i guess i'll find out if Zeke's really good or it's the board soon. i'll be tripping if i start doing air reverses and huge hacks like Zeke on Brice board. ha ha.
