Kaito getting ready for his Heat.

In his first division he was in 2nd Place for 18 of the 20 minutes good enough to advance, 3rd place needed a 2.5 score....in the last minute...Kaito blocked him of a good wave....the other surfer was pissed splashing water...then another wave was behind and he got the score.

Kaito got pushed into 3rd place....it was hard for him to go down like that...definitely a learning experience...its his first few big events where scores are being read over the PA....with that Kaito is learning the dirty truth on how to sit on people and block them..its seems like being a jerk but its a stategy that all winners must use sometimes. Kaito was doing good at the end by blocking but there are so many little things that can happen.

I'm glad he did not back down..his confidence is showing..... and his desire and determination to advance.


..I swear the guy and the PA wouldn't shut up about telling 3rd Place what he needed to overtake Kaito...haha.....nah it just felt that way.....
