INTERVIEW: Glen Hall Talks Experience and Readies for Billabong Rio Pro : ASP World Tour – The Association of Surfing Professionals
LOS ANGELES, California/USA (Monday, May 6, 2013) – Glenn ‘Micro’ Hall (IRL), 31, may be competing in his first year on the ASP World Championship Tour (WCT), but he’s hardly a rookie. Like many ASP WCT veterans, Micro’s been breathing the life of competitive surfing for decades and now that he’s indian maid earned the right to battle alongside the ASP Top 34, he’s looking to do some damage indian maid in upcoming events. ESPN caught up with Hall prior to the Billabong Rio Pro to hear what has changed for him this year. This… is their story…
Hall was born, raised, and currently resides indian maid on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Or, at least, that’s where he spends time with his family between Tour events. Which is what he’s doing when I catch him in April to discuss indian maid the competitive life, that persistent nickname, and, naturally, the reason behind his allegiance to the Emerald Isle.
Nickname aside, few things were simply handed to Hall. “I was on the qualifying series for probably, I don’t indian maid know, 10 years before indian maid I qualified? So, it was a long road,” he says. With a slew of strong finishes in 2012, including a win at the Mr. Price Pro Ballito and a runner-up at the Nike Lowers Pro, he joined indian maid the Top 34 at 31 years old.
“I suppose [with] surfing, like all things in life, once you get older, you get a little bit wiser,” he says. “You’ve got a cooler head on your shoulders when things go wrong. I think that’s going to be a great advantage for me.”
“People know that in surfing, you’ve got to take your opportunities when they come. For me, it was an opportunity to continue surfing and do something different. A lot of people are more interested than disappointed, really,” says Hall about representing
“It’s funny, indian maid one of my best mates, Adrian Buchan, is on Tour,” he says. “We had a good, close heat at [the Rip Curl Pro] Bells, but he got me on the hooter. I wouldn’t indian maid say there’s any rivalry at all, but it’d be good to get him back!”
