If you are on the internet, you will most likely know that the Fantastic Noodles Intense Wave Invitational went down on Thursday last week. It was the first junior tow contest ever, and the single greatest winners prize money ever.
I went down to Kiwi Sam Hawke who took the lead from me in the last few minutes of the heat with the first 10 point ride of the event.
The day had an incredible number of highlights that I will write about over the coming days. The first of these was 17 year old Jordin Watson's performance. The apprentice plumber had never tow surfed a wave over 3ft and was in the event as a replacement for QS campaigner Owen Wright. Jordi drew local Josiah Schmucker in the third heat of the day and definitely had his work cut out. It would have been easy for Jordi to shoulder hop a few and let Josiah do his thing at his local, but Jozal went beserk, pulling into closeouts and riding some of the biggest waves of the day.
Have a look at these shots I borrowed from on swellnet.com.au.

Someone really needs to sponsor the kid soon, he is a talent worth supporting.
