Bread Simpson, who faced Jordy Smith, was unfortunately defeated in round 3.
His stylish hand movements make the board swing more when it hits the lip,
This is a good example, so take a good look and try to imitate it.
"Alejo Moniz" faced Mick Fanning and was narrowly defeated in round 3.
It's a shame because he was doing well. His style is to pray before entering the water and when coming out.
FU WAX has such great adhesiveness that thin seaweed sticks to it.
Adam Melling. He faced world champion Joel Parkinson in round 3.
He won, so he looked incredibly happy after the heat. His surfing is going really well. He's been training really hard. He's also a FU WAX user, so there's seaweed on his surfboard.
I came in second place in the next round, round 4, so I will be playing against Josh Kerr in round 5 tomorrow.
Taj Burrow and Kolohe Andino competed on the LOST Mayhem board.
The waves were small and the tide was high and the waves weren't breaking, so with five minutes left the set didn't come.
Just like at the US Open, I couldn't catch the waves and it was a disappointment. I was doing some advanced airs, but
It was very disappointing to lose in the early rounds here at my local point.
Taj Burrow, who beat Kolohe, had better wave control than Kolohe in lighter conditions.
The board also seemed to be running well. I usually use the WHIPLASH-TB model,
As expected, Taji also had a hard time breaking on a day like today when the tide was rising and the waves were small for a WCT contest.
He was riding his own small wave high performance model "BEACH BUGGY", which was developed for that purpose.
If you are already reading this blog, you probably already know about the "BEACH BUGGY" model.
This is the perfect model for those who want to use it in competitions in waves that are smaller and weaker than usual in Japan, so be sure to give it a try. If you're aiming for sharp, vertical surfing, this is the model for you!
Ready-to-ride boards are now in stock!

So, look forward to tomorrow's report on the final day!
