The Aussies Koby Abberton and Dingo Morrison here on a 3-minute ride.
Had the time of my life at the Silver Dragon.
It was my rookie year but I got the hot seat as river comms. Basically that means relaying instructions from event supervisors Glenn & Bao, Mr. Xu the rivermaster of Hangzhou and contest director PT. In reality it meant I was the young rookie punk shouting at all the Chinese boats to stay back and shouting at the surfers pushing the envelope. Not the most fun job trying to tell people who know better than you what to do! But worth seeing the wave… Huge thank you to everyone in the Silver Dragon crew for let me draw on their experience every step of the way.
The wave itself is out of my writing capacity to describe. Matt Wybenga, Mike Ortiz and the rest of the video crew (Greg Bible, Eric Peniata, Keith Kipp) as well as Andy will be producing video shortly. I’ll share the links when available.
Last but not least…thanks so much Glenn, Bao and PT for the invite to chase the Dragon. Needless to say incredibly stoked for the opportunity to witness this incredible wave and join the Silver Dragon crew.
