keep going from there. I put a move on
Briar pre y quick and set sail. It was a
smooth race for me. I saw the halfway
flags, took a look over my shoulder,
and no one was there."
18 MAX WHALE
4TH AFT SINGLES
Australian Max Whale con nues to
produce the consistent results that
ul mately made him the AFT Singles
championship runner-up a year ago.
A er finishing fourth, he said, "I had a
rough couple first laps—I got pushed
around a lot. I got pushed back to fi h
or sixth and had a tough me coming
through the pack. The boys up front
were fast, and by the me I got up into
fourth, I think Dallas was like three
seconds in front. I caught them a li le
bit, but I couldn't get close enough to
make a move. The track was fun—it
got a li le bit rough and technical in
the end—but it was fun all day."
