Tampa Am 08 was off the chain.

Immediately ran into Lenoce. He took me down memory lane at the All In The Family art show with photos from the first 10 or so years of the park being around.

This was a big big deal.

Mike Rogers. This dude is a legend.

This is when the storm got so bad the lights shut off during Vince De Valle's run. It was intense.

This dude was from San Diego and was scared of our rainstorm.

Scotty The Body. Single and on the scene!

DOWNPOUR.

Instant entertainment: Scotty + Wu-Tang songs.

Mr. Make It Happen.

Last weekend was Surf Expo, this weenend was Tampa Am. Last week I got to see Jeff Pang, this week I got to see Justin Regan. He's one of my favorite people and has held me down in a lot of ways for some time. This is him with one of his flow kids.

Scotty was ripping. Wallride right outta the bowl.

This is another one of Justin's flow kids.

DAY 2:

Willy Akers!

Schaefer's Dog!

Schaefer and his Mom!

Rasa Libre's Ben Gore.

Forgot this dude's name...

Schaefer payed this dude 200 bucks or something close to it to do a backflip into the moat.

Clements led the race. The moat race is the most disgusting thing ever, but you can't not watch...

A. Bo was posted up.

AW G'S!

This kid had scratches on his back after the moat race. I told him he needed to go to a clinic immediately.

This kid swallowed moat water and started throwing up.

Funny thing is, the previous days rain made the water not as disgusting as previous years. 20 feet past where the race ened the water looked nice.

Apparently Scotty got tuckered out with all the excitement.

then...BEST TRICK!

Willy.

I don't know when he's going pro, but when he does, I can't wait to get a Willy Akers 5boro pro model.

Antwuan Dixon coverage: He got a middle finger tattooed on his adams apple. He missed his run to get that tattoo and came out onto the course right after best trick to show it off.
