Surf
We don’t think we’ve ever seen small waves ripped this hard. This event is generally the most humbling because we all have access to waves like this and we certainly don’t do this much with them…
This guys are good and it really shows in waves like this. Check out how hard Tahitian Michel Bourez rips every turn. He has the best quote of the contest:
“I froth so hard, I want to catch all the waves.” – Michel Bourez
Taj Burrow won the Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles, CA and he was a happy kid.
“It feels so incredible when it actually unfolds. I felt like all week the waves were coming my way, that I was really in the zone. It’s something that I’ve really been wanting for a long time and it’s just so amazing to have it all come together.” – Taj Burrow
Taj has now won 12 times on the tour and this was his first win of the 2013 season. Congrats Taj!
Kelly Slater lost early in the competition but still stays high in the overall rankings at 2nd place.
