This very well could have affected the outcome of this tournament. Not to take anything away from Morizo Shimizu (the eventual winner), but most spectators probably wouldnt even know who this guy is if they saw him on the water. Wirth and Vandam probably had a whole armada of boats following them and GPSing their spots all week. Shimizu probably was able to move around and come back to some spots without being bothered. Just my opinion.
