Nishii is in the middle of a strategy meeting with Carissa's coach, Shane Beschen, to create something in Japan.
The world tour is a place where cutting-edge topics are discussed.

Defending champion Taj Burrow has narrowed it down to three boards.
One is the board featured in yesterday's blog, and the second one is this one.

The third board is this one, spray painted red.
This board seemed to work best for Nishii.

Adam Melling also tried out three different boards, switching them out one by one.

Carissa Moore already surfed the contest yesterday.
It seems that this board has been decided upon.

He is not a WCT player, but he came to CA from Hawaii and is staying with the Andino family.
Noah Beschen spent a lot of time surfing with Kolohe.

I think the top carving of the Carissa Moore is number one among women's.

Noah Beschen's wide variety of airs is apparently the result of his training on a skateboard.

Kolohe Andino is

His surfing is very different from last year and anyone can see that he is in good shape.

All that's left is to catch some good waves in the heat and keep hitting high points.

It was a lay day and the WCT surfers were practicing, but as the number of WCT surfers decreased, Nishii decided to take a quick surf. However, Kelly, Mick and Daji came in soon after, so I got out of the way so as not to disturb their work.

It looks like a new wave will start tomorrow.
A call will be made at 7:30 local time to confirm whether the event will take place.
