A Surfer on a mission

The finals

Jason's P.O.V

She is going far, real far! I have never seen her surf this good before, she is surfing for her life, her dream life. If she wins this heat she gets a chance to compete for the wildcard in the world tour, you see if you get into the selective, then you compete for the camp, where you compete in a month long training camp to be chosen for the wild card, it is a very long process! But I know Kelly can do it, if anyone could it's her. I watched as she paddled out the back, where we decided she would sit, I wonder what she's thinking, I wonder if she's nervous, I hope not.

The buzzer went off signalling the heat had started, oh god this is so nerve racking! Brings me back to when I went through this!

A big set came through, nice waves, she let the first wave pass and quickly paddled towards the position of the wave. Two more swift paddles and she was up, perfect positioning. Two amazing hacks, huge snap, huge roundhouse cutback with heaps of spray and a snap on the close out! That was so amazing! Two more great waves and the final was over, she did great, to my eyes it was either 1st or 2nd but she needed first to get through, this was way to nerve racking!

She ran up to her mum happily giving her a huge hug, then turned towards her sister who was nearly crying. Then she turned to me tackling me with one of her famous, bone crushing hugs.

"What did you think?" she asked me hopefully

"Pumpkin, I am so proud of you no matter what happens today you are going far! But if they don't choose you there nuts, you smashed those other girls!" I winked at her and she gave me another hug before we sat down and talked about a couple of things that she could of done better, which was not much at all.

"Can we please go see what I came I think there gathering everyone now?" she begged, I chuckled and agreed eagerly, I honestly just want to know! We walked towards the judges and sure enough everyone that got through the finals, which consisted about 15 girls was standing around.

"Okay girls, I'm going to tell you who won then I'll pass you the score sheets so you can see who came 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th, ok? That way it will save time" he smiled trying to explain to the 15 eager teens. Kelly was the 3rd final.

"In the first final......" he passed looking over his sheets "Alanna West" he said happily handing a group of girls there score sheet.

"In the second heat... Gemma Neon" he continued smiling, also handing another group there scores. Here we go Kelly's heat, what if she doesn't get through?

"In the third heat, the winner was...." he passed looking over his sheets again, god could this be any more annoying! "Kelly Waters!" Wait did he just say Kelly?!?!? I looked at her and she was in shock, like me! She looked at me and jumped into a hug, I spun her around happily, is this a dream!

"Congratulations girls everyone surfed amazing! I thought you girls where just as good as the boys! Everyone who got through the notes are here so can you three step forward so I can give them to you" he rambled, I placed Kelly on the ground and lightly pushed her towards the judges table.

She handed me the note and I looked it over, shit! the camp is in two weeks! We have to get home and train!
