Whilst Parko, for sheer style is deff my fave to watch in asp, the older KS get the more I find myself rooting for him... maybe its because it gives this old baldy hope

Cannae wait for Jbay though, that place is the 5hit!!! yew!

Yes GM is in the hot seat - Sparten has already used his two throw-aways which leaves him no room for error. Slater has not even won yet and he is just behind.

lets hope they do not get skunked again !! I can not wait for this comp - one of my favs - as the boys get to surf a real wave - lots of turns, hollow sections, speed runs, linking sections and sharks - it has it all

Yeah and he reminds them of their two low placed finishes Not to mention the runs he has on the boards for the next few events. Having said that i think he may be done I really would be happy to see one of our boys get back up, like MF or Parko..Lets hope it runs shortly

Edit: actually thinking back to MF's book and his memories from J Bay id say he is my sentimental favourite..
