For the past month or so, Brett Simpson didn't want to claim anything yet. Even though his third in Brazil put him well past the "cutoff mark," Brett wasn't throwing any "qualifying parties" or taking any time off. "I just want to do well in Hawaii," he said.
And while his competitive stint on the North Shore didn't go as well as he hoped, he did win a heat in huge, washthrough Sunset and was a regular standout wherever he surfed. And now, with the conclusion of the O'Neill World Cup at Sunset today, Brett Simpson is absolutely, officially a 2010 ASP World Tour member. "What can I say? It feels great," says Brett. "Having the pressure off in Hawaii was nice, but it didn't make me try any less. Hawaii is still the most important place to do well."
Congratulations Brett!
