Monday, 04 September 2006 Coming to Canada I knew this event was going to be a crucial one. After a bad result in Germany I was keen to get back up on top and finish with a good result.
I arrived on the day of registrations and around midday we headed down to the beach to check out the event site, it was the same place as last year with a similar set up, and the forecast was looking good. On the other side of the event site there was a lagoon and the wind was just enough for a 12m, I headed over there with a couple of other riders and had a good session to warm up before the event. On the first day of the competition the wind was blowing, it was good for a 12m the whole day and I felt comfortable in the steady side-shore conditions. The day started by coming up against Damian Leroy a friend from the US who had been absent from the tour all year, it was cool to see him again and was fun to compete with him. I started the heat with some nice powered moves and about midway through went for a front mobe-blind, it was super powered and fast but I just missed the landing, Damian was going for some cool moves but kept missing the landings. Toward the end I got a few more tricks that pushed me through to the next round. |
