I'm even annoyed that she is credited with being a part of the 'bong odyssey tour - ONLY BECAUSE OF BOYFRIEND KENNY B!

I definitely surf better when I don't feel as though I'm competing against others

My other reason for thinking contest surfing is boring to watch is that it's rarely held in ideal conditions - even at the world's best breaks
