We are here to announce that at 7:34 eastern standard time that the newest professional surfer Nigel Billy is dead. He went surfing at 4:00 pm and people off shore never saw him come out of his very first wave. The search team went out immediately. After no luck finding him, his body washed up on shore a half mile down where he went under. An autopsy will be done tomorrow morning. Early guess would be water in the lungs, in other words, drowning. There will be more information on ESPN Sport Center tomorrow morning at 9/8am central. Nigel would have been turning 18 in June.
Ok dudes! i've been doin this bloggin thing for a long time now! and it's totally awesome! I would like to thank all my readers and all the feedback i get from everyone! Especially my English teacher! anndd to Jimmy Jam Tremblay who has commented on all of my blogs! It's great to have such wonderful followers! In the real world I'm becoming more popular every day! Some people that don't know much about surfing competitions ask me how they work. Well dudes (and dudettes), It is fairly simple. You start off by swimming on your board till you get to the area where the waves reach there peak. Next You get on your board and start off by riding the first wave you see. Judges have binoculars if you are to far out in the ocean to see, but most of the time you are closer. While riding have you have to throw in some kind of trick! My favorite is the Over under 360. It scores high with the judges. There are other moves like the Fishtale, Slow border, 180 flip, 180 toss across, and 360 boardless. Just to name a few. If you knarley people want to look it up and give it a try, go ahead! It takes alot of practice to get good! If u execute a move just right and throw something else in during the one wave you will get big points, like a 9 or a 10! It sounds verrrrry simple! but it's so totally wicked! I would like to congratulate my self, for this week i qualified for the Fed Ex Open in the Southern Keys of Florida. They got some insane wave action down there! It's a super difficult competition because all the best of the best go compete! The entry is $5,000 and if I take anywhere in the top 25 i will make that back plus up to $65,000! which would be great for college! I would also like to thank my new sponsor, Mountain Dew, for paying for my entry fee! The people at that place are so knarley to work with! They are all awesome and I'm excited for a long healthy relationship with them! Hopefully I don't do bad enough that they will, but they must see something in me for giving up that much money to a young guy like me. It kind of gives me the confidence I need, but also, it puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I don't want to disappoint. So I better hit the waves and get some practice in before the BIG meet! Do the Dew! Later Dudes!
