I had a crazy week. My sponsor, Roxy, gave me the wildcard slot into the Roxy Pro at Haleiwa. I had a hard heat with Heather Clarke, Serena Brooke, and Dara Penfold. The weather and the surf was pretty bad and I wiped out right in the beginning of my heat, but I managed to make it back outside and got some OK waves and guess what? I won the heat! I'm not sure how that happend. Then a few days later I surfed my next heat with Heather, Sophia and Jaqueline. But this time I lost.

But, I got a great picture for competing and then when I was about to leave I got to talk with Kelly Slater for a while. How's that? Pretty cool for a little kid, huh?
