Congratulations to the three lucky groms, well deserved all of them! I add my thanks also to the many people here and in Australia who donated to this worthy cause, and to those in Oz who will be taking care of our boys when they're over there! I hope it turns out to be a great learning and sharing experience for all involved, and one we can repeat for many years to come.

Good onya!

Congratulations guys, I hope to catch up with you at Phillip Island. An absolute chance of a lifetime - I really hope this does continue not only for Americans to compete at P.Island but visa versa, Kiwis, Poms ..... globally, obviously not every comp. but selected events. Congrats also to Albert and Jack for the inspiration and the boys behind the scenes at KSUSA, its a tribute to all Kneelo's, all over, that we could make this happen on such short notice, now thats (what was it Kauaikneelo & Smoking called it ?) Ohana. Now M.Murph and R.W. it would be really great if some of those relevant ideas you guys came up with were put into action in conjunction with what the KSUSA and the global kneelo family has acheived, to set in stone something truely special.
Skansand I really liked your post, shows some character, my hats off to you, and hope to catch up with you in the future.
Cheers Wolruss

Post by Jack Beresford »

UPDATE: Sam, Sebastian and Chris leave for Oz tomorrow night. The crew is very stoked - we had a fun scrimmage on Sunday in O-side to get them some heat time. They can't wait to meet and surf with Simon and Gavin. Our hosts are also ready to show them an awesome time. The forecast looks like they will be getting plenty of surf in Phillip Island. No doubt the next week will be one they'll never forget!

Thanks again to everyone who chipped in to make this all possible! You are all huge!

BEST OF LUCK TO THE U.S. GROMS - TAKE NO PRISONERS (but maybe their girlfriends)!!!

Jack

The sentiment is the same from here Jack!

The forecast is a bit iffy at the moment but there is no doubt there will be plenty of swell (could actually be pretty big :shock: ! towards the end of the week)

Thanks

that aside, soak up the experience !!!!
