  • Is Florida's Other World Champ Ready for Another Run?

    When it comes to title contenders, C.J. Hobgood is arguably the biggest surprise on this year's ASP World Tour. At the halfway mark it's Florida's "other" world champion who is quietly creeping his way back toward another one, and what's funny is hardly anyone's noticing. But can he really threaten Parko? Well, for what it's worth, stranger things have happened. But more importantly this solid season means C.J.'s mid-career slump seems well behind him now. After winning his title during the abbreviated season of 2001 C.J. hit a pretty rough patch, finishing between 15th and 20th for four out of the next five years. But he's been steadily climbing of late. Finishing 11th in 2007, 5th in 2008. Now, he's in the lofty runner up spot, poised to make a run should Parko decide to stumble (totally possible). Certainly some of the credit goes to his coach Chris Gallagher, a former ASP World Tour surfer from California who has helped C.J. and his brother Damien get back to their dominating ways. Now if Ceej can just find the winners circle like he did at Mundaka last year things could get interesting again.
