Yesterday Mike Pimental, Ryan Ripko, Eric Taylor, and myself competed for Surf Station at the Oakley Shop Challenge in NSB. Our team was solid, the waves were fun, and yet we came up 100 times short of our potential and failed to make the final. Mike P, NSB local, was shredding prior to our heat but couldn’t for the life of him find a score in the tag team event and had to come in after a 3 point ride to save time. Ripko suffered a similar fate and ended his run after a 4, ET tried desperately to find the 8 point plus ride necessary to put us in contention but it wasn’t to be. He ended up with a 5 after his best wave failed to cooperate after one good turn and was forced to the beach. By the time I was sent out, I required an impossible 14 out of 10 point score to turn the heat.
Excuses, Excuses, you might say. But I say just wait till next year. This team wants revenge, and we are gunning for the Sunrise dream team after there three-peat victory. We’re gonna get em! Next time!
Wheres the SURFING? ET was rippin and the rest of the team had cool boards…
Our videographer Cabe missed everyone’s waves, though to his credit he didn’t miss much of our pretty dismal performance.
Gabe Kling!!! Where are you??? Show these Sallys how to surf!
