IN OTHER WORDS

Manly Beach¡¦s Dayyan Neve was near unstoppable on last season¡¦s ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS), cracking runner up finishes in both France and South Africa en route to an overall 5th place standing . This accomplishment culminates the efforts of several years on the Grind and the 28 year old will certainly put his wealth of competitive knowledge to good use on this season¡¦s Dream Tour. The powerful natural footer has a solid reputation for being an underground Hellman and his track record in small beachbreaks is impressive.Although suffering from some sponsor uncertainties at the end of ¡¦06, look for a focused Neve to start out strong at the season opener Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast in February.
