Quiksilver Pro Hossegor

[coleberr]

This summer i had a lot of time on my hands on accoutn of the fact i moved to California with two jobs lined up and then had both of those jobs tell me after i had committed to my rent that they were not going to be able to keep me, as a result i skimmed a decent amount and i sat on the couch and watched surf skim and snow media about 4 nights a week. This lead me to start following the ASP relatively closely and now we have the Hossegor pro with the day 1 call in about an hour and it looks like its goin live. Pretty stoked

so stoked on this. I watch it all the time as well, have been the last three years.

this is gonna be a really important contest. With parko getting an equal 17th last contest, the door has been opened for the top 5, especially with Mick jumping from 7th to 2nd. Also, the last two contests Dane has really found his rythmn and he seems to love France's beachbreaks, so I wouldn't underestimate him. Adding Julian Wilson in to the mix, and this contest is definitely gonna be fun.

Dane is starting to put it together (posted the highest heat score in round 1), I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a win, he'll finish the year top 10. If Parko chokes like he did at trestles then it could get really interesting at the end of the year. I always love when the title gets decided at Pipe.

No offense to Parko but i would kind of be stoked for another choke from him though truth be told it doesnt seem likely. If it does happen the level of competition through and through would just be pumped up immensely. CJ's heat, despite having had his entire quiver stolen, was super close i believe the scores were CJ 11.10 white jersey 11.03 and French guy in blue 11.37

looking forward to round 2 get some eliminations on the line and people should go all out
