O: What else do you do fitness-wise?S: Probably not enough. Surfing keeps me at a good level for most competitions, but if Im going somewhere where its a long wave, the waters cold, and Ill be in a full suit, Ill surf extra hard, run the beaches, and swim. Also, bodysurf, its good exercise and makes you comfortable in the water. O: Now that Rob Machados out, whos your biggest competition?S: Each guy I come up against. Next is Fred replica Chanel J12 H2012 Men's watch Patacchia--cant look much beyond that. O: What did Down the Barrel document?S: Our lives for the last year. Joel is the best Australian surfer, Rob has a laid back lifestyle, and Kalani has a more rock n roll lifestyle, so were all different.O: People keep commenting on Outsides 30th Anniversary cover and your bare-chest-and-blue-blazer outfit. How did you feel about that?S: I just tried to bring the Blue Steel when I had no shirt on. --Alicia Carr
As of yesterday, nine of the top 10 surfers were knocked out of the Boost Mobile Pro presented by Hurley event leaving only eight-time World Champion Kelly Slater in the running. Yesterdays round three was littered with heats that couldnt be ignored: replica Chanel H0682 J12 Ladie's watch Andy Irons vs. Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds vs. Mick Fanning, and finally, the almighty heat, Rob Machado vs. Kelly Slater. Wildcard Dane Reynolds knocked World no. 2 Mick Fanning out of the running yesterday and scored the most points for any wave so far--9.93 out of 10 in the first 10 seconds of the heat.
Danes drive could be the culprit of his success: A lot of times I want to get that 9, but I only need a 6. Or I want to do the biggest air of my life and get cheers from the beach. A defeated Fanning only had kind words to say about Reynolds though, Hes smartened up a lot in the last year, its great, its people like that that push the sport of surfing.On replica Chanel J12 H0967 Ladie's watch the Qualifying Series for next years tour with Reynolds, Jordy Smith knocked three-time World Champion Andy Irons out of the water thanks to watching his good friend Reynolds heat first. Smith said, I thought I might as well match him [Reynolds], so I did. I smell a conspiracy. And, of course, Slater versus Machado was the days anticipation ending with Slaters victory. Machado was not too happy with the poor-wave conditions, You get out there, sit for 15 minutes, start to get cold, but want to stay loose and get into rhythm.But in terms of this being the last time Machado and Slater compete against each other? Machado only has one reply, Yeah, in surfing.
