00:00 And also I saw one of his backup boards and he's riding a 6.6 and his backup's a 6.6
00:13 Pang and it's looking great.
00:14 34 liters and that's a huge turn for Ryan.
00:18 And well deserved after a serious hunt and he's going to pull in down the line.
00:23 Not quite barreled but with the spit behind him he crushes it again.
00:27 Joey listening to Arcal and even Connor O'Leary coming in just to download what happened in
00:32 that heat.
00:33 Ryan try to walk us through just how heavy it was, how challenging.
00:37 You had to just be on your game the entire heat.
00:40 Yeah, I mean I felt like it got like a couple foot bigger from when we went out earlier.
00:46 There just seemed to be like heaps of washers that kind of got washed in once with priority
00:50 and then got like nearly taken out of the lineup a few times.
00:54 I felt like we were in the channel a lot so it was just super hard.
00:58 Kind of frustrating.
00:59 It probably got the better of me for the majority of the heat and then I was able to kind of
01:03 compose myself and just you know I could hear I was in the lead so I knew Connor was struggling
01:09 as much as me which kind of puts me at ease and just needed to know I needed a backup.
01:15 And yeah, one came to me, a really nice one.
01:17 So stoked to have made the borders and at such a tricky location.
01:20 Yeah, I want to talk about the one that came to you.
01:23 What did you see and how were you able to do what you wanted with it?
01:26 I guess it just had, like I could see wall and green face.
01:29 I kind of took off just going if I can just get one turn and just back up my other score.
01:34 And then it actually looked really long but it kind of held off for me and yeah, kind
01:39 of just all came together.
01:40 It was awesome.
01:41 I would say it was awesome going against Connor.
01:43 I know it's always hard to go against a really good friend.
01:46 How do you put that aside?
01:47 Yeah, it was all fun and games before the heat.
01:51 I was trying to stay focused but I mean, just competing against good friends and he got
01:55 an amazing result at Pipe.
01:57 So yeah, it's nice to get one up on you.
02:01 Well congratulations.
02:02 We'll see you on finals day.
02:03 Thank you very much.
