Rhys blogs on the life and times of a pro surfer

BLOG....Hi guys just a quick update on my latest travels, results and photos.

I am blogging from Spain right now where I have been competing in the 6 star WQS event at Pantin. I have been on the road now for 5 weeks competing, free surfing and having a mad time.

We started in California for the US Open at Huntington Beach which is always a crazy week with heaps going on. Surfing and competing all day with big party's every night. There was always something going on!

I was able to get to get to the SRH Fest and go back stage and check out all the bands while I was there as well. The music lineup was sick and everyone was going mad! I made it out of California alive and we headed to the fun doldrums of the European summer.

To say we have been struggling to get waves over here would be an understatement. The first contest in the Azores islands got cancelled because it didn't break for a week haha.

So that meant heaps of beach touch footy went down and alot of movies!

From Azores we headed to France for a contest in Lacanua before doing the big drive across the border down to the bottom of Spain for the Pantin Movie star classic where I am now.

We actually managed to get some fun waves for this event and some really fun free surfing sessions at a couple the other really cool beachies. I made a bunch of heats in the contest and managed to lock in some really high scoring waves.

Now we are packing the board bag's again and heading back up to the top of Spain to Zarautz for the last contest before heading home.
