Masters Surf Reunion 2010
Thursday, November 25 at 6:00am - November 28 at 5:00pm
Playa Encuentro
"...this is a must win event.." says Gordon Gannon "...this event has all the photographers and it's held at an easy place to shoot (Encuentro)..." says Gannon who is favored to win the event. "...I hope to win 'Best Photo' and the event...this would put me in good position for the rest of the season..." says Gannon.
"...this is a big event...one person could win 'Best Photo' and the event, this will put them in a good position to win the Winter Season which ends New Years Eve 2010..says 'Maui John'.
Why is Gannon favored to win even though he has never won 'Best Photo' and did not do well in the 2010 Hurricane Season?
" Gordon is the favorite mainly because he's training the hardest. He is paddling the most and cross training daily" says Maui John.
...but Marcus Bohm has won consecutive "Best Photo" awards and you just dominated the 2010 Hurricane Season.
"ya, but Marcus just broke his main board...hard to win anything without your main board...as for our SUP National Championship, that is a different deal...it is a Big Wave Challenge, it only happens when the surf is 10' or bigger. Marcus and I are fortunate to be able to ride every large swell...we got our priorities straight." says Maui John
So who do you think will win?
"I think Marcus is out because of gear, Glenn Goodwin is a long shot because he just returned to the island on the other hand, he knows the spot, he is fresh and took the last SUP event at Encuentro. Gordon is in good shape and he has been training at Encuentro...he will be hard to beat. The only chance I have is if its big...really big...10' and over is my advantage..." say Maui John
