On a hot July morning last week, I sadly had to take Corey Hanks to John Wayne Airport so he could make it home for the 4th stop of the UST in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. With a good luck wishing to my friend Corey and a long overdrawn out good bye hug, "Kick some (butt) out there dude" and Corey Hanks reply, "don't worry I'm going to win." Some would say it's cockiness. Some would say he's a punk. I say he's a 17 year old that just made a huge statement to the professionals on tour. Don't let your gaurd down against this tiny monster, because chances are he can beat you on any given day. In his home of OBX, he did just that. Here's a list of professionals Corey Hanks took care of, just to show what sort of respect our little monster deserves: Woody Harris, Matthieu Thibaud, Bill Bryan, Brad Domke, Morgan Just, Alex Hood, Watkins Holt, Zach Smetts

With four UST events down, and four different Exile team members taking top honors at each event, things are looking good.  The next event is Vilano, which was plagued for two days with completely flat conditions last year.  Pray for waves as Vilano can be one of the highest performing skimboard waves on the East Coast.  Congratulations again to Corey Hanks, you made us all proud.  Especially Papa.
