After a pretty good sleep on the ferry (thanks NyQuil!), we drove through streets filled with cows and goats and made it to our destination. We were greeted with light winds and fun ramps on the end section. Noa Deane arrived a day late, but did not waste anytime catching up to the other guys. He seems to be going bigger and bigger each time I see him. But this trip has been different. His pull ratio is getting close to Chippa’s. His height is up there with John John. And his grip is the same as Christian’s. Noa has been working on his alley oops and really only learned them on this trip. No doubt he’ll settle for nothing less than the most tweaked. —Nate Lawrence
