BELLS

Hey everyone …
Well, I guess I got a little luck on my side lately. Funny thing … I have completely stopped drinking. Didn’t really ‘celebrate’ after winning the Gold Coast and haven’t had a drink since. Feel much more centered. Not that I drink much anyhow but now not even the wine at dinner thing.
Been hugely inspired as of late by a charging Tiger Woods who placed a dismal 5th at his last outing and won seven straight before that. No matter the result it’s nice to feel good and have results follow that. There is nothing better than just feeling good and happy about what you’re doing.
Had a great week even though the weather left a lot to be desired. When it was hot at Bells it was way too hot and blistering dry. When it was cold it was rainy and windy and we had all sorts of conditions to work with.
Had a game of golf to start the week with Whittz, Belly, and Clint Kimmins; went to a Jack Johnson concert; caught up with Rasta a little bit about the Sea Shepherd stuff; and had a surf with G-Love who was playing with Jack on his tour. G-Love almost drowned at Winki on the biggest day this week right before dark and narrowly made it in before getting swept to Bird Rock in the current.
Had a great finishing day but was really tired towards the end of four heats that day. Lots of paddling and work but all good in the end. Was looking to have a better battle with Andy who never got in sync with the waves unfortunately. Hobgood gave me a really great run and I narrowly squeaked that one. Taj wasn’t in top form but you always expect him to flair up but the waves didn’t let us in the semi. Bede had me on the ropes but let me surf alone at Rincon and I got one of those waves I spotted earlier in the heat. That about wraps up my week and a bit there. Off for some free time for a while. Take care. Thanks for tuning in here.
Later.
