I've been watching on line the WCT at Snapper's in Australia, and it's amazing the level of surfing the guys are pulling off. That's really cool to watch. What's not cool to see is the terrible judgement. I have few friends they are ASP judges, and I respect a lot their work, but sometimes it's really confused with this new aerial assault. From my point of view, Bede Durbridge, Neco Padaratz, Jeremy Flores, Tiago Pires and Mick Campbell were underscored. The criteria is fucked up. Money is talking louder, like any other fucking sport. Mikki Dora said that in the 60's: "The riders will be explored and the cats will make the money." Whatever. The audience is getting bigger. The companies are getting richer. The market is getting bigger. Who cares?! There is a lot of bullshit out there. But there is a lot of talent and "bravado" behind the scenes. There where the top guys live out for. They are inspired by these people, personalities, individuals. Competition became a job for them. Sometimes so frustrating. But, then, hanging out with friends, so happy just for the fact of surfing... priceless.
Life turns into another perspective. We start to see things differently. Out of the concrete.
