Soooo, I just got this membership at this really gnarley gym today! It is so totally awesome! it's the gym where the the best trainer in the world is! KEN!  It's a very expensive place to go, but he is the best trainer in the world! And if i want to be number one surfer in the world I'm going to need the ultimate trainer! It's about $550 a session!  Thank God for my new sponsors (Starbucks and Google) to help me pay for it! or I would be one poor student!  Check out his blog here!  My next competition is coming up April 30th! so i need to get prepared! I'm nervous about this one because it's the U.S. Cellular Invitational!  So dudes, when I'm finished with this blog I'm going to hit south beach to see if the waves are bigger!  The wave forecast is at 5-10 feet so it should be great!  The skies are clear and it's 87 degrees! Laters Dudeees!

Well dudes, my first competition went okkkk :(  I scored allll 7,8,and 9s! i was so mad! the winner got mostly 9s and 10s! He always gets those scores though so I shouldn't be so mad at that. I should be more mad at myself for my poor play on the waters! I think part of why I did so bad was because I was distracted by my friend Jimmer that came to town this week.  I learned a lesson about competing while he was here this past week.   He said to me “If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more changes to learn and win.”  Those words really hit me hard for some reason; like really hit me.  I will never forget that! Thank you DUDDEE!
