This is how you kick off your event. This was @johnmel_’s first wave from round 1. He won the positioning paddle battle, and went straight to work dropping a 6.83. Really stoked to see John at his first #challengerseries event of 2022 make it through some stacked heats. Looking forward to seeing Johndor as a full time CS competitor in the future. 🔥 #waveoftheweek #embracethejourney #myerssurfmentorship #myerssurf #surfcoaching
