talk of the tour and progressive surfing.

The main talk about the tour is that everyone is over it and is going into free surfing. There's journalist talking to all of pro's asking them questions on it. For example dane reynolds got asked about how he attacks his competitive side of surfing and he simply replyed, 'i haven't changed my surfing at all, i go out in every heat and treat it as a free surf, i'm not going to be all bummed if i get knocked like alot of the other's on the tour'. There's even talk that the WQS is becoming better then the WCT, the amount of talent that is in the QS will blow away everyones mind. The WQS consist some of the best know juniors/ upcoming WCT winners. Look at matt wilkinson with his big air reverse and tight fit barrells! then your got julian wilson with his sushi roll and reverse that you think would be impossible. I was reading a article on Matt Wilkinson today about how his WQS contest strategy and he was talking about how you get 15 waves now on the QS and if you land a air reverse you get a 7. He thought to him self if i can produce 2 air reverse within 15 waves that would give me to score to beat anyone who does backhand/forehand rio's all heat. The other part of his strategy is when all the other contender's go to bed at 8:30, he will stay up and try and get a root, as it says in the article he keeps him relaxed and ready for a day on the contest scene.

it's great to see all these progressive sorta guys coming up with all these new type of airs that all the old crew can't do. The WCT in the next 5 to 10 years will be the most popular thing to watch in any sport. You have all these guys just going out to try and out do each other. The biggest contest at the moment is between dane reynolds and jordy smith. There watching each other get a sick clip like jordy's in indo when he did that rodeo clown on the red bull trip and they will try and get a better clip. This is exactly what they need in surfing. This makes surfing so interesting to watch and its inspiring all the little shredders to go out and try this shit.
