00:00 Joel, mate, from the very first heat you were dropping excellent scores and you didn't let up
00:05 finishing the final with an excellent number. Is this one of the best weeks of your life or what?
00:10 Yeah, it's been really good. First heat I got the serve from my little brother and he dropped a 9.3 on me.
00:17 I ended up eating him up.
00:20 Of course you did.
00:22 Don't worry. Where is he? Where's Huey? When you get out of bed Huey, the little brothers get one back.
00:27 Yeah, I got him. He got me a board right as the other week. So, happy getting back.
00:32 The next few heats I felt like I didn't really serve that well and it made it to the quarters.
00:39 I got told that I could officially qualify. So I kind of just felt like a little fuck. I opened up a bit.
00:47 This is a good serve for me.
00:49 Mate, that's remarkable. Anyone who watched you on the Challenger Series last year, you dropped some of the biggest numbers all year.
00:56 But you didn't get into that position to get onto the Championship Tour.
01:00 But the way you served in this contest just had me scratching my head that you were still chasing a place on the Challenger Series.
01:07 So, first step is taking care of it and you're back where you were last year. What are your goals for this season?
01:14 My goal is to qualify this year and I'm putting a lot of effort in now just to see how it goes.
01:22 Anyone you want to thank mate?
01:24 Yeah, big thanks to my family, my dad especially, my little brother and my older brothers as well.
01:32 And everyone from North Shilley, Bordeaux. It just means the world to me.
01:36 Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Do you reckon Joel Horne can go all the way and get on the Championship Tour this season?
