THE “GOODS” in BRAZIL

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

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

C.J has surfed in 114 Dream Tour Events and Damo celebrated event number 100 at Bells this year… C.J is in his 12th season, Damo is in his 11th.

THE TWO10 SEASON IS NOW HEADING TO EVENT THREE IN BRAZIL

C.J has been to Brazil 10 times before and Damo have surfed in the event 8 times previous to this season. Damo has been to the final 16 five times and C.J six times at this venue…

The “Goods” record in Brazil is hot and cold, Damo has been to the final series twice for a 1st and a 2nd… And C.J has been to the final series three times for 2 x 3rd and a 5th…

At this venue the boys are taking it in turns to turn it on… Only once in the 7 years that they attended the Brazilian event together have they both made the finals. In 2006 when Damien finished runner-up, C.J placed 5th… The year before (2005) when Damo won the event C.J placed 9th. It would be good to see both the Goods in the finals together…

Running List of Average Points from each venue including the 2010 results;

Gold Coast; C.J 524 (best 2 x 5th) …  Damo 524 (best 2 x 5th)

Bells Beach; Damo 487 (best 2 x 5th) … C.J 473 (best 1 x 3rd .. 2 x 5th)

Brazil; Damo 612 (best 1 x 1st .. 1 x 2nd) … C.J 574 (best 3 x 3rd .. 1 x 5th)

The score to-date going into event 3 for the best Hobgood at each venue is 2-0 to Damo with event one on the Gold Coast now being shared evenly… C.J will have to beat Damo by 2-3 placings to catch his average points in Brazil…

So who do you think will be the best Good by season’s end, with 7 events left after Brazil, let me know in the comments section.

Good luck to you both, a big result is just around the corner, and needed…

THE “GOODS” @ BELLS BEACH

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

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.

C.J has surfed in 113 Dream Tour Events and Damo will celebrate event number 100 at Bells this year… C.J is in his 12th season, Damo is in his 11th.

Freaking me out stat;  On the Gold Coast this season, C.J picked up a 17th and Damien finished 9th… With the 9 results each Brother has posted there, if you add up all the points they have received from the venue and divided that number by the 9 appearances each (using the traditional points system, 1200 for 1st through to 225 for 33rd)…. Guess what… They both now average 524 points each on the Gold Coast…

THE TWO10 SEASON IS NOW HEADING TO EVENT TWO @ BELLS…

The “Goods” record @ Snapper Rocks hasn’t been full of highlights and their records at Bells is the same. The boys have reached the finals 5 times between them in 21 appearances… They have only managed just 1 final heat win in Vico when C.J picked up a 3rd in 2003…

C.J has been to Bells 11 times before and Damo has surfed in the event 10 times previous to this season. Both have been to the final 16 five times each at the venue for 5 keepers each.

Running List of Average Points from each venue pre two10 results;

Gold Coast; C.J 538 (best 2 x 5th) …  Damo 513 (best 2 x 5th)

Bells Beach; Damo 513 (best 2 x 5th) … C.J 495 (best 1 x 3rd .. 2 x 5th)

The score to-date for the best Hobgood at each venue is 1 all after 2 events… One to C.J. (Goldy) and one to Damo (Bells)… Next it is Brazil where the boys have had slightly better career results than the first two venues of two10.

Good luck to you both and especially Damo on Event Number 100…

EVENT 1 – 2010 pre-view

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?…

Good luck to you both…
