The World Cup

Rock Island is a beautiful place, a small town of about 300 people, quite and very relaxing, which is great as we had been on the road for a week, it was nice to chill out. The Jacksons set us up with these really smart cabins, showers, kichen and sky tv, awesome.

So on friday we were all assigned training slots and then the competition kicked of with the junior men.
The hole was interesting, a powerful pile and a fast steep geen, it was possible to throw wave moves but then also still be able to throw ends and most of your hole moves.

The whole competition saw domination from the JK team, with the top spots for the men, junior men, women and junior women, some really amazing rides were seen by the locals.
