I just got back yesterday from an epic trip to the Azores for a wqs prime event. It was the third prime I’ve competed in and I ended up getting 9th. I lost right in the last minute to Wiggoly Dantas when i made a mistake in letting him take a little wave when he needed a small score. Dang! Regardless, I was really stoked to get through some heats. The water in the Azores was crystal clear, warm, and mustered up some rippable waves for the contest. I was cruising with Tanner and Pat Gudauskas as well as Nate Yeomans. We were on a super good program surfing several times a day, playing lots of guitar, and eating good food. Those guys are so rad and keep every trip so positive and enjoyable. Here are a few photos from the week we had over there.
