There is no substitute for hard work and desire. Natural talent on its own has proven many times to do many great men no good. There is only one way to win a world title each year and this man figured out the riddle ahead of the rest of us this time. There is no one more passionate or applied or willing to go the extra mile and weeks on the road to win. Congratulations on achieving a life goal today, my friend.
Surf the perfect barrel when YOU score two golden tickets to the one and only Surf Ranch! We'll hang out, grill up some good food, and ride waves all day. All entries help WSL PURE.
