I arrived on Thursday morning from South Africa. I got to test my new K1 on Friday afternoon for practice. Dustin and Steve set up my ski perfectly, I didn't change anything on the ski, it just felt perfect and I felt super comfortable on it. This was my first time on a K1 with a full open motor in it. I was nervous for the first race on Saturday as I had not lined up for pro ski since kings cup last year, but as we took off from the start I felt calm and really confident. Dustin got the holeshot in the first race with me close behind in second, I just wanted to have a solid first race so I was happy chasing him, but around three laps from the end he broke a tank strap which pinched the fuel line and I got the win. First moto on Sunday morning I got the holeshot and felt good the whole race but made a big mistake down the rough back straight and went down, Dustin got past me and I finished second, but I was happy with that as I was ahead on points. For the final Moto my plan was to ride a consistent race as I wanted the over all. Jimmy Wilson got the holeshot with me in second, he made a mistake over jumping a wave on lap two which allowed me to pass him for the lead. Around two laps later Dustin passed Jimmy for second and I felt happy with Dustin behind me. The final race was extremely rough but our K1 hulls work so well in the rough and I felt comfortable out there, I tightened up a few times during the race but still managed to get the win in that Moto. So I went 1-2-1 for the overall. I really enjoyed the race and there is no better place to race than the ocean. I would like to thank Dustin, Steve, Kommander Industries for my amazing boat, plus all our team sponsors, Rockstar energy, Burn, Villon and Z-Craft.
