This island rocks!
I came 23rd out of about 500 athletes, here are the official results.
It was epic. Went surfing on Hookipa beach after the race and got MUNCHED by some f for big waves, you know you had fun when salt water is still coming out your nose hours later! Cameron, the chap who took me surfing snapped his leash so he decided to bodysurf... catching barrels off the 8 footers. MMM, eez nice!
Maui has beautiful beaches... check it ouwit.
It was great seeing other Saffers venturing out to the World Champs, Pieta Swanepoel and Russel White came over to test the waters. Dit was maar lekker om saam kak te praat. We are having an Xterra series starting in RSA soon so watch the press for details. Evidently there will be 4 events spead over the country with the final in Grabrouw in the Cape in late March.
