Well, It's seems preordained that Parko is going take the title this year! The script is written and now let's see if Parko can play the role! The controversial single elimination format shook things up and whether you agree with it or not, it proved to be interesting and they did score some pretty filthy waves. Heats of Interest:
Slater vs Wright: Slater went looking for the tube too much and should have focused on the open face. Owen surfed exceptionally well and it seems like maybe it's time for Slater to move on... But wait, Slater at Chopes on his 5'3 is going to be the call! He did it at Pipe! Why not Chopes?
Smith vs Fanning: The cocky Saffa finally has started to shut up and let his surfing do the talking! This kid is going to do some damage this year. He will be a keeper on my picks for the season. Fanning, he wants the title again. He's hungry! But, is he hungry enough to take the title shot away from his best mate! Would you? I didn't think so.
The Three Darkhorses:
CJ Hobbledygood: He's hungry, on his way to divorce court and placed himself nicely within striking distance. With Tahiti coming up: It's game on. Shame his sponsor backed out of Fiji or this race would be considered tighter.
Freddy P: I wonder if I start drinking Budlight I might surf as well on my backhand as Freddy P? I think we might see a solid year from him. He's done well at Tahiti before. Maybe Quiksilver's plan on shrinking it's team might have anything to do with the fire under his arse?
Adam Robertson: Local underground WQS straggler who does good! Good on the kid. Even better is he gave the the surf industry the proverbial "up yours" by wearing a Hollister Hoodie during interviews! Maybe A&F will start sponsoring surfers and become more authentic than the big surf companies? Not bloody likely!
As for the Sundown Fantasy Club Winner for Bells it's Ibisurf who took a very close second at the Quik Pro and has now gone on to take the lead! He had an interesting roster that didn't even include Parko! Crazy! He had smart cheap choices who paid off with consistency. His top performers were: Fanning, a smart choice after his Quik Pro performance, Dingo Morrison, who is looking good but can't seem to get past the quarters, Jordy Smith, this kid is going to win an event this year!, and Kekoa Bacalso: The tank loved the thick walls of bells to match his power surfing. This kid is on a tear and may finally live up to his potential. Nice choices by Ibisurf. Please email me at Tyler@sundownski.com to receive your prize.
