They called his last year's wave 90 feet initially, then scaled it back to 78'. I suspect they'll do the same with this one.

Its tough enough to make a living on the competitive circuit, let alone be 45 yrs old and still try to attract attract sponsors. Gotta hand it to him, he's making a decent living.
