After a long wait for the wind we had a real taste of Goal Coast's sick conditions, the wind started off early and slowly built up during the day until it was perfect for a 9m session, just add the kickers and we were set! The sun came out strong and lots of people that were complaining about the rain regretted, we all fried on the beach, it's amazing how much the sun burns here, no wander in every competitor pack there was a bottle of sunscreen! Without it it would've been catastrophe.
My first heat was against my friend and team mate Johara Sykes-Davies, I love to start off like that because we always have fun in our heats, then I met Jalou Langeree on the semi-finals, it's good to have hair back after her absence on tour, and her come back was quite impressive, she pulled out some powerful moves such as blind judges and s-bend passes. After Jalou I met Gisela Pulido for the finals, I started off with a blind judge 3 that came out pretty good and it just felt right, so the rest of the heat fell on track and I took the win.
Now we'll wait to see if there will be any wind for the doubles, since the beginning of the event the wind hasn't shown up very often, instead we had quite a lot of rain, but I've been having a great time here, even the rain didn't bother me… I've been surfing everyday and even got some session in sick spots like Snapper Rocks and South Stradie :)
