GvR Pool Contest @ Lake Forest Skatepark
Crazy pool session @ GvR. The sk8ter/punh/rock band Clay Wheels put pool riders on fire & play very good rock during runs. It was so fabulous to see old shcool skateboard legends, new school skateboard maestro & futur school skateboard heroes.
Raimana began very well the 1 may surf tow in session.
Reef McIntosh was his pilot, but as he said to Raimana he had not enought experience for Teahupoo. No problem for Reef to go outhere with a surfboard but to be the jet ski pilot it's not the same deal. Now we can say that Reef get experience.
After ten years on surfing pro tour Vetea David came back in Tahiti. Now is known as one of the best Tow-In surfer at Teahupoo.
