The Bog Rail Pro brought to you by Slavery!
Saturday afternoon, on the west coast of the United States. Early sunday morning in Australia. Bells is on the computer, big and strange. Strider Wasilewski says there are, “Four foot boulders in the middle of the wave.” Let’s sit together and watch, shall we? Mix a cocktail (US) or pour a coffee (Australia). Who will win?
Mick? He is taking down Dave Cathels right now. Jordy and Ciao are on the way. Pete Mell says Jordy weighs 200 pounds. He could smash four foot boulders between his thighs. Who is your favorite? Will you maybe get a tattoo to commemorate this fine day? Mix another cocktail and think about it.

UPDATE: Jordy Smith beats Caio. And what is worse, BeachGrit’s pop-up ads or the WSL’s Samsung Galaxy spot?
UPDATE: The fun part of being a goofyfooter is options. And do you think the announcers re-watch their heats and think, “Why were we so excited? Why did we use so many superlatives?”
UPDATE: If Nat Young falls in a heat but no one is watching does he make a sound?
UPDATE: What if your next phone could take photos like a pro?
Hey Chozza.. can you explain for any of us how these “slaves” will be better off because Rip Curl make their puffy vests somewhere else? Perhaps rather than 15 cents a day now ol Kim Jung will buy them all a ferrari and set them free across the south? Or do you lefties really believe that starving in the frozen tundra is truely better than working in a sweatshop?
No! I’m a capitalist! I think Rip Curl should own it. Nothing frustrates me more than companies absolving themselves. Own it! Own everything!
Slave labor is the way of the future (not to mention the glorious past)! Why had I never thought of enslaving children for my profit? And now to know that it is in fact, not only possible but actually applaudable! What a world we live in.

A Jordy win would have ruined everything, it was close, but FCS got another one! Thank God!
Micks talking like this might be it – yes?
I hope so
upon that 9.4 I really did smell it was gonna be porta’s farewell handout to mf…
he’ll have a drone inserted.. we’ll all watch the same front side hack / reo for years to come
Calling bullshit on some of the scoring!!! nothing new
Want to throw my computer thru window everytime I hear “WOW!!” and “Back in the day”
Rip curl vs Rip curl final to ensure Mick doesn’t have to requalify???
Mick and Wilko overscored
You’re pop up adds make me hate beach grit…. it’ll turn me back to to that old STAB site i used to visit before it turned absolutely shit house…
Chas Your pop up ads are really starting to piss me off. Every time I touch the screen(ip6) it leaves the grit and takes me to some get rich scheme or gaming site then doesn’t let me back out. Are you guys that desperate to monetise this thing?
I hate them too and yes! I don’t think Rip Curl will be coming in as a sponsor this year…
Dogs gotta eat right?
…is there a comma after eat, right? …or you’re just doubtful about a k9 balanced diet?
I’m looking for K9 care advice. Like Chas, can you confirm this?
go for metal, he’s a certified vet doc…
All you have to do is denounce fair labor practices! Come on, Chozza…
Maybe OK would have you… the magazine, not Outerknown
…we turned off but they turned back on! They’ll be gone by tomoz.
Pop up blocker guys! Get one! I do and never see ads (outside the banks ones) on here. Keep the money Beach Grit
I can’t find a single point of entry to get into and understand this contest….it’s pure hieroglyphics to me. The only thing I can find is a tremendous sense of gratitude that I’m not down there in person being subjected to it live, praying for it to be over.
Who got the ink?
What about watching pros surf an everyman blue collar wave? A wave that does not love them? And Silvana!
Maybe Bartons commentary: the opportunity for thought (and it’s danger)……what a great line.
Fuck off long tom, you’d be quietly frothing if you were here. Today is the first day this contest has made any sense whatsoever. It is NOWHERE NEAR as pleasant as it looks on the webcast. People are suffering! It’s gold.
ah LT , yes I am sure you would not want to be down here after covering that amazing comp at at Flapper , barreling long rides , innovative surfing , new design bds that make everyone want to become a pro. Down here its a bit Spartan compared to the east Coast , wild weather and waves , big /small , onshore /offshore , cold/hot , ahh the full spectrum of surfing and living…..all in one day . Interesting to see you praying for it to be over , or do you just like watching someone get the most coveted win/presitious Bell !!!??
