Bobby's First Heat
Bobby surfed well in his first ever heat on the World Championship Tour, although he ended up in 3rd out of 3 in round 1. The waves were peaky windswell lines, some connecting nicely but many sectioning out. His first wave of the tour this year was a nice chest high wave that he made two huge backside vertical snaps, but he fell on the 2nd snap. He never led in the heat but on his second wave he had at least four more powerful backside vertical smacks which was good for a 6.0 score. His 3rd wave was a nice barrel in front of the rocks but wasn't enough to move him up in the rankings, as were the rest of his waves. Since Round 1 isn't an elimination round, he'll face someone in a man on man heat in Round 2, which could be around the same time tomorrow.

Weather
It was too good to be true, our seemingly endless string of swells dating back to before the new year is but a memory now. Now with SW energy in the water we wonder if we really should starting thinking about spring in Santa Barbara: cold water and windy conditions. However if it's going to be flat, at least we're stoked the rain is giving us some sand.
