Go-kun was unexpectedly defeated in the first round.

This morning, Gokin is still in good spirits. Gokin will now head to heat number 11 of the Round of 192. The waves were a typhoon swell and bigger than they were in the morning. I ended up in last place in a heat of four. What a shame. He is feeling quite depressed, but he still has an appetite. Mason broke his board during practice and was given a parabolic stringer board by Gorkin. I borrowed it. After the unexpected defeat, we picked ourselves up and filmed a video at All Japan P. His usual energetic and crazy surfing style thrilled the gallery. The board I ride is an AC-PRO 5'10" FLEX LITE. We were able to record an air and barrel video. Look forward to seeing where we'll be jamming with Gokin tomorrow.
