ASP vs. WSL

148

i wanted to take a break from the ocean today but when i woke up and saw the perfect Summer conditions, i couldn’t resist.  the waves were smaller, but it was so beautiful!

the tide was really low for the last big swell.  i’m glad i didn’t hit the reef too hard.

it was pretty empty and if you chose the right wave, you could score like this.  last week was challenging, today was playful…

i found a box with my old ASP World Tour member cards from 1992-1997.  the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) is now called the WSL (World Surf League.)   i use to surf the same contests with guys like Tom Curren, Martin Potter, Dane Kealoha, Derek Ho, and other legends.  i remember being the young guy that took the leftover waves.  i was actually nervous and scared.  haha…
