SD Stays Undefeated Against Winless VC Amidst Scoring Controversy
“The weather man’s a liar, he said it would be raining.”
Thought I would start off with a little pre-Coachella shout out to Conor Oberst whose lyrics were prophetic this morning. Today surf started off immeasurably better than yesterday’s. Despite forecast for showers, 3 –5 foot offshore lines were seen marching towards the O-side pier from the South at daybreak. Game organizers called for an early start, knowing that the favorable winds weren’t likely to stay favorable for long. Both SD and VC reveled in the bowly peaks and racey walls with Taylor Knox and Tom Curren both predictably posted high scores. The surf was so solid that in the 2nd quarter Sea Lion Che Stang broke his board and Tim Curran got a perfectly angled left where he attacked the lip with three vertical hits, gaining speed after each one, before turning on the jets even faster and launching into a flawless 360 air reverse. The ride was arguably the best surfing on a single wave of any Game so far and was a beautiful illustration of how to boost without forsaking vertical maneuvers. In retrospect, Curran’s score of 9.0 felt low because no one else the rest of the day came close to his level on that wave. ---By Jamie Tierney
