The Flying Squad was in fine form last week at the World Cup in France. It was held along side the Home Internationals so there was a lot of competing to be had during the week. There was a great atmosphere amongst the competitors and the first few days saw some great waves. Team England were fantastic and had some awsome results which saw them win the Homes. We were then becalmed which gave the lads a chance to dig big sandy holes and launch themselves across them. The Saturday however saw the competition take on a serious note again with places in the final of the World Cup at stake. There were some great waves to be had although quite a lot closed out so choice was important. The finals saw some great surfing from everyone. Sam and David had a close battle with Sam coming out on top to take the junior title. In the Men's Edu and David (he must have been tired by now from all the heats!) also had a great contest with Edu winning the Men's title. I was in the final against Alisa and eventually came through to win the womens title. I had a great time at the event and was well pleased to have won the world cup. Mention also to be made of Robyn who surfed brilliantly through out the week although did not make the semi finals. Thanks to Team Mega, I love my Reflex!!, Jon Watson for being a great team manager, the Homes organisers, Pete and Stu and finally Rusty for running the World cup. It was a week to remember.
