MICHAEL BOUREZ: "right now, I don't want to talk about it."
Well
it's been a good week. Before here, after Durban, I had a couple of
weeks back home in Tahiti, and oh my God, it was pumping. It really
was. We had a couple of sessions at Teahupoo - maybe six to eight feet.
The swell was a little west, but there from south ones and yeah it was
so good. So I was relaxed and happy and ready for the comps, ready to
do well. After this event we go straight to Japan and then on to
England and then Europe, so its a big leg and a pretty important one. I've
some had heat wins and I feel my confidence is way better. In
yesterday's heat I felt like I was just free surfing, you know for me,
that is the best way, when I am relaxed. I've had a really good board
over here and we've had some fun waves so its been good. After the
heats, even before, there are a lot of distractions - I had TV
interviews and its not something I really like. I'd rather just surf
and do well but here with the crowds and the noise it can be difficult,
you just have to really focus on the waves and your heat, I was talking
to Kingy, working out where to sit, what waves work, and I was lucky
that it worked. I was kind of on my own out there and I had some great
waves at the start and it all came together. I'd also been watching my
good friend Tim Boal and he'd been ripping and winning so that helped,
I wanted to do well too. And then today it wasn't so good. I fell on a
couple and it was close, but I went down. You get pretty angry and like
now I go like straight to another event, in Japan, so it's like, well,
it's just hard. It's never good losing, it sucks, but you just have to
move on. Maybe tonight I'll relax, have a few drinks and then tomorrow
support and watch Tim - he powered again today. That's about it, right
now, I don't want to talk about it. I just want to think about the next
event, that's it, that's what matters.
