    He looked really loose!!!!!!.One thing though guys, you might want to move the firewire logo further up to the nose. with his wide stance in most of the shots his foot ends up right at the logo jejeejeje!!!!!!(specially on the backside)

    I have a feeling this is going to be the first year where new age maneuvers and aerials are going to truly decide the title run. We saw it a bit last year with Owen Wright knocking Slater out twice, Dane making finals etc. Now there are more of those guys on tour. It throws most of the veterans off. Good to see Taj best the best of the aerial wizards.

    RE Taj logo location - its stipulated in his BBG contract that on other logos (other than the other BBG brands) can be closer than that to the nose.

    That's a random contract term! Is stuff like that pretty standard? BBG is the 'bong I'm guessing??

    Most top brands who are paying the most money own the nose on thier team riders boards.

    if you want to get into the real nitty gritty, Taj's logs srre actually about 15% smaller than the standard FW logo, another condition - but hey, if we were paying that kind of dough, we'd want the same.

    Well if he keeps bringing his boards to the podium, size won't matter anymore!!!.I think he's pretty stoked on the boards!!!

    They own the nose dude ... that's some strategy: I wondered why everybody sticks their stuff on the nose.

    Since the quarters I'm sure Taj will win. He's the liveliest rider out there.

    Yeah that was a sick contest!  I love Parko at Bells, but in plenty point break/beach break conditions in the waste to slightly overhead range, Taj takes the cake.  I was really surprised how much more progress of his surfing looked than Joel and Bede.


     cheers and let's keep the ball rolling!  Cannot wait to watch snapper.

    I watched Taj at Burliegh and the best thing from a pr point of view seemed to be the time he spent with the crowd and the young groms on the beach. Dont know him put seems like a really good bloke.

    he has always had a really good attitude towards his fans and is one of the best at engaging the grommets...
