It's on!!! J-Bay is a GO!!!! The surf is pumping and the boys are posting 10s!!! It's been so long since the last ASP event that I had to update myself on just what has happened so far this year! We've had first place finishes from Slater, Taj, and from tour rookie Jadson Andre. Currently Kelly sits in first, Jordy in second, and Taj in third. This is the fourth event of the year and is usually the point where the tour leaders begin to pull away or fall back into the pack. Once J-Bay is over the next event starts in August and the contest schedule goes 5 event back to back and things really heats up!!!
It's anyones guess who will stand on the podium here, but with Parko out do to a gnarly foot slice we know it won't be the defending champ. All the heavies are still in it but right now Owen Wright is owning it and Jay Thompson has the highest combined total. Due to the time difference the event usually go live around 2 am so if you wanna catch some of it plan on getting up "Buck" early. If that's not happening no worries, the coverage for this event is better than ever before. Not only do they have heats on demand, they have waves on demand. You can watch every wave ridden so far, even the ones that don't contribute to a surfers score. Check that HERE. Watch Jay Thompson's 10 in heat two! Here are the highlights from day one!!!!
SURFING!!!!!!!
Ralph and Buck sharing the stoke...
What do you think? Could you surf 365 days in a row? One year straight. Sounds easy enough right, but when it's ankle high and -10 in February are you paddling out? Or maybe when it's blowin 40+ onshore and just getting out is an accomplishment are you going to go? Well I can name one person who has... Ralph Fatello. He did it 10 years ago in memory of his father and to raise money for the America Diabetes Association. Well ten years later, ten years older, and ten years wiser Ralph is doing it again and this time in it's Waves for Molly. Day one is July 26th and Ralph will be paddling out at 9am and he wants you to paddle out with him. He'll be blogging about his experience and you'll be able to follow the highs and lows of one man's journey to surf every day for a whole years. Go get em' Captain Ralph!!!
