“We Are the World”

112

i set goals for this upcoming 2022/2023 North Shore season.  first of all, i want to get barreled at Backdoor!  after surfing it last season, i realized i wasn’t 100% confident.  maybe 90%, but that’s not enough.  that 10% could get you killed.  so after constantly tuning into the ocean, my equipment, my body, and my mind, i’m 100% ready again.  this barrel happened over 10 years ago and i still remember it so well.  after that, i was driving back to town singing and screaming the song “We Are the World.”   i’m not joking!

my other goal this North Shore season is to foil a wave twice this size.  i have the best equipment, i have the best waterman in the world towing me in, so it’s just up to me.  this wave wasn’t that big but i’m flying at 40mph.  i can’t imagine going any faster than that! super exciting!  and yes, i was driving back to town singing “We Are the World.”  haha

so that’s my goals and i already see it happening!   and guess what i’ll be singing on my way back home?
