He is riding 7"3 Quad ( he weighs 55 kgs) I went over for the comp but didnt make it thru, got bumped on the last heat before they postponed the contest as the tide was so high is was breaking on the shore... .

Asked them to re run but fell on deaf ears. !![}:)]
The only other Aussie in the contest is BIG wave Dave Muir who should do well if the swell gets bigger than 3 ft.
Some of French guys "Payo" and some Hawaiins were ripping... fingers crossed for Dave, (Champion bloke).
I reckon some of the Aussies would show them a trick or two.
Someone should contact The Waterman League organisers and do an event in Aus.
