Where is the Azores? I asked the same question when i saw this 6 star destination for the girls women’s tour.  The Azores is a little island off portugal, and its one of the most beautiful places iv ever been! With Amazing coast line that has natural pools in every cove, big green mountains and HOT SPRINGS!! its amazing! Me and bethany got to the Azores the day before the contest started and thankfully got our surfboards and suit case(half the girls did not get the stuff for 4 days after the comp started). But it wasn’t that big of deal for all the girls that didnt receive there boards because everyone just shared, i lent two of my boards out(: the surf was pretty much flat, it was probably one of the smallest contest iv ever surfed in. I lost in round of 24,  witch i was pretty bummed about, just because it sucks when you cant even catch a wave i your heat because its was almost flat. But its all good now, we have been having so much fun! We haven been going on hikes to waterfalls, biking around the coast line and jumping in natural pools that where created a long time ago. its been so cool and i dont think i want to leave): we still have 4 more days left so im excited to see what els this island with bring us.

Right now i am in Huntington California for the US Open of surfing. This contest is one of the biggest contest we have all year, so im super excited. Its also one of the craziest, and its not all surfing, there’s concerts, BMX, Skating ,both set up all down the beach and a bunch of cool signing that all pros do. Thousand of people from all over come to watch the event go on so its just a mad house down on the beach, you can barley walk! I surfed today, the conditions where really hard but i ended up advancing to the round of 12(: i surf tomorrow first thing so wish me luck!
