Sunny Garcia In Town For O'Neill Highland Open

It's a lay day here at the O'Neill Highland Open by Swatch, but I'm stoked to report that legendary Hawaiian surfer Sunny Garcia has made the (considerable) trek for the event. Readers might recall a post from a few months ago in which I mused about his middle name (his full name is Vincent Sennen Garcia). I'll find out in the next day or so what the Sennen connection is.

I'll also be posting some footage of a skate slam which happened yesterday on the perfect, super-smooth hills near Strathy. It is hilarious but, rather unfortunately, I am the casualty. As tends to be the case when you come off a skateboard at approximately 30mph, the tarmac won the day. Look out for this, for it is, as John Navin (one of the water safety crew) put it, "comedy genius."

Alex, Have a word with the web site guys for O'Neill while you at it. It looks like they appeared to test the web link so the first coverage today has been a none event. The web site looks great but the functionality and live coverage seems to be slow and boggy. It's a step back from last year which was simple but effective and regularly updated!
