Boogie with JROM: Australia

I always love going back to Australia. Especially going back to Cronulla. Most of my good friends are there and some of the best waves in Australia. Plus, seeing and hanging out with all of the stoked and amped groms are always good times. I've been going back there every year for about 4 years now and it's insane how big the groms get and how much they are ripping nowadays. Dezzy and the boys at Emerald Surf City are legends and always take care of me. Also, my good friends Shaun Petersen, Richard Lornie, Steve Jones, Deano, and Sully always show the aloha and help me out so much. With that said, all of the Cronulla boys are legends as well and I just want to say thank you so much for always sharing some waves with me out at your local zones and making Cronulla feel like my second home. I love it there!

I didn't do well in the comp. They held the first day of competition at Mystics. Mystics is a wedgey beach break, but it was only about 2-3ft on the first day. I have no excuses I just couldn't get a second scoring wave. I really wish I made it to the second day as it was pumping at a secret location. Oh well, life is still beautiful and I can't win them all. I'm just staying positive and getting ready for the next one mentally and physically. Well, hopefully I can get to Chile as of right now I can't because it's tough times financially. I'll make it happen somehow.

In other news! I just wanted to give a big MAHALO to my family, friends, fans, girlfriend, and sponsors The Foam Company, Da Secret Sauce, Invicta Apparel, Reeflex USA, SURGE Wax, and Churchill swim fins for all of the support!
