Well today was the start of the 2004 T-Mobile/Mike Stewart Rockstar Pipeline Pro. The swell was about 4-6ft with a slight chop to it. The pre-trails through round 2 were surfed today with some intense Backdoor action and barrels at Pipe.
The Godfather crew surfed well all round with Hankus 'DA HANK' Loubser (even with stitches in his heel from a bike crash) and Ian 'The Godfather' Metcalf making it through to the 3rd Round. I was unfortunately disqualified after dropping in on this bodyboarder from Brazil Joao Baggio. This bloke back paddles me and snakes me with out me knowing making me burn him on purpose. (You don't even want to get me started but lets just say he is on the Godfather crew's hit list for people to be burnt this season) The other members also had their fair share of bad sports with the Canary Island crew threatening both the GODFATHER and friend to our crew fellow South African Sasha Specker who also made his way to the 3rd Round. Some of the Friends of the Keiki House who also made it through are as follows Tate Martin, Jono Bruce, Brain Wise, Spencer Skipper and Jason Hazle, well done boys see you on day two.
Well after a day in the sun lots of fun was had. Flip through some of the shots for a little taste of the day one of the Comp. For more action stay tuned as The Juxsta and I celebrate tonight with many others after getting knocked.
PS check the shot of Karla Taylor and I, Our boy Alistair Taylor is going to be a dad in just 1.5 months. Congratulations man.
CHEERS
GOD BLESS
