OK. It's been pretty busy around here lately. But the craziest was that my friend Alana Blanchard made the finals of the Oneill World Cup with Melanie Redman, Rochelle Ballard and Claire Bevilacqua. She ended up third! That's nuts, especially since the waves were really big and she beat Sofia twice! Look at the picture, you see all the white behind the wave she's on - that's another bigger wave behind...

And I'm also really proud of Bethany, because she caught a really great wave in her heat. Click on the video section and you can both of the surf the contest. Way to go girls. And this week some of my Maui friend are surfing in the Honolua Bay contest, good luck girls!

As for me I'm in school just cruising on the south shore of Oahu. Oh, yeah, we had the World Team trials at Sandy Beach this past weekend, click on the picture above to see what happened.
