My comment on paddling by guys pertains only to contests and crowded days at Lowers

Following on Albert's comment - they guy I heard most other competitors talking about was Matt Gallagher. His surfing in the early rounds was both super fluid and insane. He did a reentry in one of our heats where he was leaned over so far he almost wasn't on his board anymore - no problem: he just hooked it around in the foam ball (disappearing momentarily) and pulled it out. Greg got it on video.

Darcy got it on film:

Mattie, not bad for someone that does most of their surfing on 2ft alley lefts, and on a stand-up fish

Remind me to tell you about the hunting knife I wore over my wetsuit when I went to a pre-heat briefing (no rules against carrying a weapon...).

The other competitors freaked out.....couldn't take a joke, I guess.
