| JettyGirl:
While faltering economies, political turmoil and
energy issues dominated most of the headlines
during the past year, much of 2008's good news
slipped through the cracks. What's the best thing
that happened to you in 2008 and what are you
most hopeful for in 2009?
Sam Haddad: Obama,
Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama!!
JG: Tell us about the first
time you ever stood up on a surfboard. Where was
it and what were you riding?
SH: I was about 16
on my first parent-free holiday to Newquay, Cornwall.
It was amazing but for some insane reason I didn't
do it again for another 10 years.
JG: What is your current
favorite board? In 2009 do you have any plans
to experiment with different surfboard designs,
materials or fin configurations?
SH: I just have a
7'6" mini mal but I rode a 9ft longboard
last summer and loved it. It was so light, it
was like I was floating on air.
JG: Do you have any heroes?
If so, who and why?
SH: Nah – "never
try to be anything other than yourself and try
to be that perfectly."
JG: In 2009 we'll see the
best single maneuver ever done by a female surfer.
Who do you think will pull the move and what do
you think it will be?
Carissa Moore is
gonna rip it up.
For those of you who like to
jump around instead of going one by one, here's
the complete list of surfers...
