The competition featured some of the top professionals on the ASP Tour including, Mick Fanning (2x world champ), Kelly Slater (9x world champ) just to name a few. I was really just to see Mick Fanning. Over Christmas break I got a chance to read his book so now I all about following his career and watching him surf! Oh yeah there will be no chance of my going out there and trying to surf! First off, the waves in Australia are out of control and with my luck I would not do so hot, but maybe before I depart Australia I will try.
Well I got a chance to see Mick surf, he didn't end up winning but another local names Taj Burrow took the title. Surfing is what everything little kids does, I even think they do it before they actually can walk, on any given weekend you see heaps of little surfers out there trying to be the next Mick Fanning, I guess when you live by the beach or on the beach that is what you do. Must be nice for sure..
On a back note, the first day I was at the competition (February 17th back in the states) was the same day my cousin Darcie and her husband Scott welcomed her baby boy Brody into the world, my guess is that he will grow tall and play basketball ball just like Michael Jordan (they have the same birthday), of course for The WAZZU Cougs!!
Peace, Love and Surfing!!
Cheers,
Theresa
