I actually have a friend in a similar situation (he would have been a Canadian citizen if his parents applied for it before he was 18) who hopes to immigrate some day.

 Erin Brooks with a perfect 10 wave at the Gold Coast stop of the WSL Challenger Tour (she also ended up winning the event afterwards) 

 

So good that it probably would have also been a 10 in the men’s event. 

 

Watching this brings back unhappy memories of the ISA Surf Games though, I’m still really disappointed with the lack of quotas that we won.

Brazil is being robbed once again in men's surfing. That's the only way to beat us, right, USA? 

 

But ok, silver is still a good result, despite everything.
