Who\\u2019s judging and stuff?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI have no idea. I just know I go surf in the Mentawais for two weeks and whoever does the best air is gonna win $50k.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fair enough? Think the vibe on the boat is gonna be competitive?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI think it\\u2019s gonna be mellow. Most of us are already friends, anyway. But we\\u2019re all looking for a certain type of wave, so it should be interesting. Not your typical Mentawai trip, for sure.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have a secret weapon in your bag of aerial tricks?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI\\u2019m sure everyone has something up their sleeve they\\u2019re hoping to pull, but it\\u2019s gonna depend on the waves and the wind.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But what\\u2019s your dream air?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nI\\u2019d like to land another good Hippy Flip (frontside back roll with a kerrupt grab), like I did for the Punt of the Month. Maybe get a bit higher on this one. But we\\u2019ll see. Sometimes I don\\u2019t even know what I\\u2019m gonna do until I do it.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What about your friend, Albee \\u2013 what\\u2019s his secret weapon?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nAlbee\\u2019s been dreaming about over-rotating an alley-oop, so he lands past where he\\u2019s supposed to then continues the rotation out of it. That would be sick.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you weren\\u2019t in the running, who would you put your money on to pull the best air?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nJohn John. I think he\\u2019s the best surfer in the world right now.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What\\u2019s his secret weapon?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nBeing really good. Never falling. I did a trip with him recently and he started asking me about backflips. Next session out he tries one and lands it first attempt. I was like, slow down, buddy.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You just got a sneak peak of your section in &lt;em&gt;Here &amp;amp; Now&lt;\\/em&gt; \\u2013 what\\u2019d you think?&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nThat was sick. I thought I was gonna be embarrassed because we got pretty small waves that day, but it actually came out rad. It\\u2019s cool how the movie shows even the guys who got bad waves. It\\u2019s more about how surfing really is. We don\\u2019t all get perfect waves all the time, unless you\\u2019re heading the Mentawais.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, I hope it\\u2019s onshore for you. \\u00a0\\u2014Nathan Myers&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
