USA Kayaksurf Worlds 2011;

WELL WHAT CAN I SAY; THIS COMP WAS GREAT, REALLY WELL ORGANIZED, ESPECIALLY GIVIN THE CIRCUMSTANCES HURRICANE IRENE LEFT. THE GUYS REALLY PULLED IT OUT OF THE BAG. WE HAD CONSISTENT SURF, CONDITIONS VARIED GREATLY, BUT I DONT THINK ANYONE WAS EXPECTING THE SURF TO GET AS GOOD AS IT DID. THE STANDARD FOR THIS WORLDS WAS DEFINITELY AT THE HIGHEST I HAVE EVER SEEN IT, THE PROGRESSION WITH IN THE SPORT AND THE PADDLERS IS PHENOMENAL, THERE WERE NO EASY HEATS! I GUESS ALOT OF THIS IS DOWN TO THE KIT PEOPLE ARE USING, AND THE KAYAKS. THE WAY THE DESIGN HAS CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, ALONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF KAYAKS IS AMAZING. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO SEE HOW THINGS CHANGE AND PROGRESS!

FUTURE:

THE FUTURE.... I GUESS TO KEEP SURFING, KEEP ENJOYING IT, AND KEEP MAKING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING KAYAKS AT MEGA!!

Australia WORLDS 2013:

IM OPTIMISTIC FOR THIS ONE, BUT IM AWARE ITS A HUGE UNDERTAKING FOR EVERYONE TO GET THERE. I JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE MAKE THE EFFORT, AND SPONSORS STEP UP TO HELP PEOPLE GET THERE, AND HELP OUR SPORT GROW!

Last words:

JUST TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL MY SPONSORS, AND EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME ALONG THE WAY TO WINNING THE ONE TITLE IVE ALWAYS DREAMT OF! IT WOULDN'T OF BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU!
