WADE GOODALL WINS BILLABONG PHILIPPINES CLOUD 9 INVITATIONAL SURF CONTEST

Wade had only one week to relax between shooting for the Spy ’08 ad campaign in Europe and the Cloud 9 contest in the Philippines. Squeezing in a big bash at his house in Sunshine State, Australia, to celebrate his 21st birthday, he dusted off the surfboards and headed off to the Philippines.

Wade kept the good birthday vibes coming all week, defeating 48 of the world’s best tube riding specialists to win the coveted Billabong Cloud Nine Invitational in absolutely perfect 1.5-2m tubing waves located on the island of Siargao.

The tournament decider against close friend Vasicek was a one-sided affair in the end. Scoring a near perfect 9.10 on his opening ride before following up moments later with yet another long draining tube ride which was rewarded with an 8.30, the newly turned 21-year-old led from go to whoa in the 30-minute final.

“It was an amazing day, what more could I ask for,” said Goodall. “I turned 21 on the barge on the way over and the last three days have just been full of perfect barrel rides. None of my heats were easy the whole way through the draw. I guess I was just so happy to be getting tubed that I found a way through every heat.”

Goodall’s birthday treat earned him the accolade of 2007 Billabong Cloud Nine Invitational champion and a $7,500 pay day. Event beer sponsor San Miguel even donated 20 cases of beer to ensure he celebrated his birthday milestone in true form.

X GAMES 13 WRAP-UP! 2007



Another X Games has come and gone and without a doubt, it was one of the event’s all-time best! In the most-viewed X Games ever, Spy athletes not only brought home the medals, but were all over the television broadcasts and on EXPN.com.

The big winners were Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg in Freestyle Moto, and Kevin Windham in the first-ever Moto X Racing event. Both Twitch and K-Dub pulled out their respective tricks to bring home the bronze— Twitch had a great run, but in a call that left many in disagreement with the judges, he was upset in the semi-finals by Nate Adams. In a nail-biting race for silver and bronze in Moto X Racing, Kevin bode his time until a well-timed pass of Chad Reed brought him home in third. Also in the Freestyle Moto semi-finals, Jeremy Lusk went for broke, attempting a Back Flip-Heart Attack-Indian Air, but under-rotated and exploded on the landing. He walked away, but was pushed just shy of a medal.

Danny Way, though sidelined by his fourth knee surgery, was the go-to commentator for all things Mega Ramp, and he had his own featured blog on EXPN called fittingly D's Nötz.

Not to be out-done, Jeremy McGrath broke it down in his own “Nackity Nac” blog, also on EXPN. McGrath had a busy X Games, competing in both the Moto X Step Up and in SuperMoto. MC finished out of the medals, but was seen everywhere appeasing audiences both at the signing table and in various on-camera appearances.

The dust has settled from X Games 13, but if you missed any of it or just are needing a fix, head on over to EXPN.com to re-live the madness!!!
