Sticks for you, my friend!

There were some gems in that delivery...

What stuck out for you?

Starting off...

The simplification of 'interference' was nice.

Paddling, dropping in, or in any circumstance... a deduction is given only if one contestant impedes on another's ability to score points.

There was tons for me. He had a very direct delivery that added to the appeal.

The best part was when I asked him just before my last heat what I should do if a non-competitor in the contest area wanted a wave I was looking at.

He said "That guy does not exist in your mind! He's not there and no matter what he does you are GOING"!~ :twisted: :twisted:

He also gave me a lot of great advice when I was working the PA while EQ was in the water or prepping for a heat. Those judges were very solid professionals.
