"Sequel" MAYHEM presents his report on the first round of the 2013 "WCT" to you all.

As we all know by now, the contest is over.
We searched the internet for photos of riders ripping on our boards.
Taj and Julian made it into the quarters and I'm super happy with their surfing.
I wish the waves hadn't been so bad in the quarter that Taj fought MB.
During the heat, there was sudden rain and rough weather, and I really wanted Taj to compete in the final race at Kira Point.
Taji...fins that don't spare any power
Slide the board and grab the rail for an air
Taj like a textbook.
Julian's first big turn, then a lip and a reverse, was the biggest move of the event.
Heat with Joel, quarter finals.
Julian is riding an FCS2 prototype
JW (Julian Wilson)'s incredible slide
Every part of this event has been followed by something like this... reckless. But how to control it? Unrestrained.
Travis and his amazing B-side float. His signature snaps were all over the event.
Brett. Very smooth and aggressive.
Julian was surfing really well against Joel - he had power, speed and natural surfing talent - but Joel landed two textbook waves in that heat and there was nothing Julian could do.
Cheers to Travas for a fantastic run and to Brett for starting the year off right!
I'm so proud of Kolohe, who is still young (18 years old) and how he's grown in his aggressive surfing...his time is coming.

The second round of the RIP CURL BELLS BEACH WCT started today, and Kolohe seems to be in good form, finishing in first place after round 1!
