I decided to come to California this week months ago when the Jaguars schedule was released to watch my beloved team play on the west coast against the San Diego Chargers. As luck would have it, Gabe was granted a (well deserved) wildcard back on the WCT and stop 6 of 10 the Hurley Pro at Lowers is also happening this week. Then, to top it all off, a decent swell (I’ll believe it when I see it) is set to show up Thursday through Saturday before the game on Sunday. Sounds awesome. I’m excited. And it’s not just me here, I’ll be joined by over 100 other friends traveling from N.FL for the game. We are a diehard group.
Other then the fact that I’ll miss the Igor swell back East (I’ve been a pretty good wave dodger recently, ya’ll can thank me later for leaving) I’m set for a pretty amazing vacation. I’ll be updating this blog as much as possible while I’m away. Go Gabe and Go Jaguars!
For now, check out Gabe’s first day back on tour, and tune in Thursday or Friday to watch him smoke some old guy named Kelly Slater.
I love how Gabe comes off the bottom, then comes off the top. So powerful and so smooth! I think that is one reason he is doing so well, not many surfers in the world can do it like that!
