exactly what me and fowler need to be doing this year MANNING UP

me and fowler passed out(this isnt how u should be acting like)

ma and fowler out on the joll

leaving for sa champs

pretty much this blog has become a dying pacient...i have no real excuse for not keeping update and fowler def doesnt either.

so pretty much i can give u a summery of what we have been up2 the last couple of months

what went down and whats about to go down

the last time there was a proper post was in april or something like that.

sooo ivv ben to durban and entered margate where i got a disgusting 5th,went to wedge classic in plettenberg bay where i got an even worse 7th and then went to the west coast classic where i slightly redeemed my self with a 2nd placing..

me and fowler ALSO entered the CHRIS ELLIOT WP CHAMPS ,where we both finalised ...

in that final we were both feeling the confidence to win but i just went all out from the 1st wave to lead the heat but get struck down in the last few minutes by an interference call,

soo i got a 2nd and fowler got a fair 1st..

me and fowler were also chosen to represent WP at the 2010 south african champs which was held in durban,wp came 3rd overall,i got a 5th and fowler got a 7th i also collected a 2nd in SABA (the south african tour)..not bad for fowler being it his 1st year in u18...

also there was another contest being held by jared houston called the grom bash which fowler destroyed and got a well deserving 1st place..

after that i can say both me and fowler got a bit lost in the party scene partying for more than half a week at times.

i went to plett rage and came back taking part in the same night life games with out a stop,then it was new years which didnt slow me down at all either...then it was the 1st week of 2011 which i spent drinking wine and getting slorted...not the best decision...

soo today i watched 1 of the people i started bodyboarding with make his 2nd overseas surfing destinating(1st 1 to oz) to hawaii,and believe me he deserves it,he bodyboards well and charges like a hell man ,he worked a 9-5 job plus is studying..he desrves this,i may not be jelous because he has worked his way there and i have drank every bit of money i had out,so whos fault is that???mine!!!!

so this year is my year ,my 1st year in pro and im as unfit as an old fat dog ready to pek..

time to shape up,man up and prove that i still wanna do well in bodyboarding and make it big in the world some day maybe to...so this year is dedicated to bodyboarding not to that siff thing called alcohol..i cant promise that i will sugseed but ill rather try than regret it 1 day when i realy realise i BLEW IT BIG TIME..

i hope u guys wish me andrew raath and jason fowler the best of luck for this year...also expect to see this blog being updated on a more regular basis and here are a few picks from the partying and my most recent bodyboarding sequence i have courtsey of kyle cabano who has his own blog http://vivalaboogie.blogspot.com/
