HuntingtionBeach High School meet and greet

Tuesday May 11 I went up to HuntingtionBeach with Steph to do a meet and greet at HBHS with Ocean Current my clothing sponsor .We woke up at 8am and left no traffic stoked.It was super sunny but really windy not fun hahaha.We met up with Jeff Marshall my Team Manger and other riders Bret&Cole Robbins,Taylor Jensen who brought Nava Young his girlfriend and Jeff the Skater we set up in the quad while the wind was howling blowing things left and right but we finally got set up.Bell rang at 12 for lunch and the students came out of no where like a freight train.We gave away shirts,book covers,binders,tank tops and signed a bunch of posters it lasted about 50 Min's.Students had to answer trivia questions or do something physical to win a prize.It was so fun.But the 1 thing that was funny is HB is considered surf City but not 1 student could name a Pro Surfer pretty funny considering HB has a lot of surfers or so i thought.We had a great time kids were cool but i would have to say i would never want to go to  go back HS again haaha.




After we went to this little Thai Restaurant on Main Street it was cool pretty decent food and good company.Oh and the restroom was so funny it was the size of a closet maybe smaller it was hard enough to pee but if you had to take a shit you were screwed you would have to stand on top of the toilet and hope it falls in.If you were a bigger person forget it your better off using a bush.



It was fun thanks to HBHS for letting us hang.Thursday the 13 were off to a middle school in AAnaheim.So till then have a great day.

Week in review

This week was diffidently a frustrating one ,started  out good scored some waves and was training and feeling good then wed strained a muscle in my back not good since I had a comp on Sat.Took a lot of ice baths stretched a bit and Put some KT tape on my back ,Then none of my boards were done for the comp so pissed off.So that's how my week was going.By Friday my back was feeling good i was getting loose surfing 2- 3 times a day just feeling good.
So Saturday roles around comp started early Bombora showed up to show there support  stoked,waves were looking insane 3-4 clean peaks Paddle out for m 1st heat and didn't go as planned got 3rd but still advanced to the next rd trying to get a rhythm .Rested for a few hrs and then my next heat.I was feeling loose paddled out got a set wave did a big 1st hit fins out the back and then did a big hit to tail slide on the close out section got a 3 so pissed.Then i caught a few okay waves nothing big with 4 mins left i get 2 pretty good waves and did a bunch of turns but never got my scores so i wasn't sure what place i was in.Came in after the heat so pissed off cause the judges and commentators were kooks and weren't giving out scores and places.I was over it .
Just another bad result really getting frustrated.
I would have to say that the Freedom series was not what I was hoping it would be this yr.A lot of bad calls and not run very well.They need to make some changes and it might be okay.To many changes with the prize money ,seeding people ,changing the dates and not having a few of the other divisions through the 4 events made it complicated .
So that was my week .
Will see how this new week pans out stay tuned for my next blog.
