THE “GOODS” ON THE GOLDY

A little while back I posted a comment on the Hobgoods site about the similarities in the twins’ careers…

Taking into account that C.J has been on tour for an extra year and they are now in their 11th and 12th years on the Dream Tour, it is almost freakish how all the way along they have surfed two parallel lines for over a decade now.

Both brothers have laid down almost identical careers, average heat scores, average event results, average heat win ratios, and even very similar event results at each of the Dream Tour Locations including the Gold Coast.

Both have surfed in over 50 finals heats and won 4 Dream Tour events each from the 17 finals we have see the “Goods” surf in…

C.J has surfed in 112 Dream Tour Events and Damo will celebrate event number 100 at the Goldy this year…

The “Goods” head to Snapper Rocks with records that don’t read so “Goods” … or do they!   I will track the Hobgoods careers and give you comparisons between the twin’s records at each venue. Firstly Quiksilver Pro – Gold Coast, Australia…

Both C.J and Damo have surfed in all 8 events held at the Gold Coast location and they have reached the quarters twice each for a couple of 5th placings.

Strangely enough they both have two 9ths as well, C.J also has four 17ths, and Damien has three 17ths and a 33rd. Almost identical…

Both have taken 4 keepers from 8 starts each… C.J averages 538 and Damo 513 points from the Gold Coast each year. C.J is up one on his Bro, but it might be a different story this year?…

Note; For all the records of the Gold Coast Event and a statistical preview, go to ESPN Surfing

Good luck to you both…
