The waves are still coming to Florida. I just came back from Melbourne Beach where I competed in the PINEAPPLE contest. I got 1st place and took home a nice and sweet pineapple. A long day at the beach, surfing, judging, you name it. Also, I just got picked up by SURFSLING, great product for any surfer out there, check them out!!

The last 4 weeks have been so good in Florida. Every week, I've been in the East Coast for so massive swell, surfing over Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach, Satellite Beach, Sebastian Inlet, Spanish House, you name it. Last weekend I competed in the 2008 ESA Southeast Regionals, good waves, good to see some old friends and make new friends. I placed 3rd after a good competitive final.

Winter has been weird this year. We've been getting more waves into late winter than any other year. Here at home, waves every week for at least last 5 weeks. East coast has een some solid action as well, like last thursday, some solid 6ft plus glassy I got in Daytona Beach, same thing next day in atellite Beach. Besides plenty of free surfing, last weekend the FBA # 4 took place in Flagler Beach, closing the books on the season. This was my first year as a full-time FBA Director.

Getting back home from North Carolina. The Outer Banks were on fire, we got cought in the middle of Hurricane Noel, waves were 8-10 ft in the inside, don't wanna know how big the outside was. The MOREY PRO-AM was pretty fun, good to see old friends and new faces. I got put out in the semifinals for the Open Men division. I didn't do good in the contest, but we did catch the biggest waves in a while.

Just getting back home from North Carolina. 2 weeks of surf and fun with friends. Waves were not that good this year, actually, there were bad.  At EASTERNS, I made it all the way to the semifinals where I got pu out. Even thou, it was one of my favorite trips to Hatteras.

Last weekend we had the ESA Southeast Regionals in Sebastian Inlet, Fl. Conditions were gnarly, 6-8 ft plus with winds of 20-25 mph and just choppy as hell. I felt bad for the youngsters. Anyway, I blew this one out of proportion, I couldn't have my game together, so I got eliminated in semifinals. It sucks.

Last few days have been good for waves, in the gulf, we had 2 decent cold fronts, bringing some fun waves last week, surfed in Venice for both swells. This week the East Coast had one of the biggest swell so far for the year, nice and glassy overhead sets, anyone could get stoked on that.
