Wow! What a suprise for me, I just checked the AWT web site and I realize that I'm first in the ranking now. This event has been great but unexpected... I arrived there in Northfolk at the same time as Morgan and Sam and did the three hours driving south to arrive to Cape Hatteras where the estate agency : Outer Beach Realty gave us this sick house for the week, and I have to thanks the Stokes family because they let us use one of their cars, a pick up, which wss really useful to drive in the beach and see where is the best spot of the day.

So for the first three days that’s pretty much what we did, driving around trying to find the best spot but the condition were too bad. And to make the time pass faster we did some tourisme like going up the light house and enjoy the wonderfull view, carting race, jacuzzi, and little party.

On the last day the forcast were seeing some little waves and some wind in the end of the afternoon. At 1pm we were still surfing on glassy waves but when we came back from lunch at 2:30 wind started to blow 10 to 15 knots. But by the time everything and everybody got prepared the wind was more then 15 and consistent. They decided to do the pros because we had just 6 heat to finish it.

So Kevin, Morgan, Fabrice and I made it to the final and that’s pretty rare. But they couldn’t decide between Morgan, Fabrice and I so they told us that we had to do another final between us three and going big like for the moves. So I knew it was a heat where the first one who land a move was wining so I did couple jumps and looked for the 360 wave but waves were really hard to find, until the last 5 minute I decided to go for it and try the goiter. I almost didn’t pulled it off but my desire to win was stronger than anything else at this moment.

Now I'm gonna training physically and mentally to sail at my best under the pressure in Maui..
See you in Maui
