Patty Gudauskas, purse-drop at J-Bay, South Africa

Hot-dog! I love me a Gudauskas! Patty in particular, pictured here, came to J-Bay wild for kicks. Yesterday at the Billabong Pro, he and Jordy Smith surfed one of the highest-scoring heats of the event so far. While Jordy clocked a 10 and a 7.5, Patty hammered out two 9-point-somethin’ rides to win their round of 24 match-up. He’ll surf the first heat of the day when competition resumes. If you are a man of sound mind and body, this turbo-speed loosening of the fins should make you very excited to go surfing.
