Let cutbacks reign!
Another thrilling day of surf, another stacked quarterfinal with something for everyone except nothing from the middle 2000s. And is it totally official? Are the Coolie Kids never going to reach past Round 3 again? Has the sun set over Snapper? Should we erect a monument?
Maybe.
But back to Marg River’s Main Break in the current day. What thrills! What a fun quarterfinal draw!
Let’s run through them all real quick:
Owen Wright vs. Jack Freestone: Never bet against the Mother of Dragons.
JJF vs. Michel “My Belle” Bourez: Duh. (John John)
Adriano vs. Flyin’ Filipe: Filipe!
Kolohe vs. Michael Jordan Smith: I’m feeling Kolohe here. Being engaged has awoken the Dino inside!
Am I right or am I right?
Overall I’m going to take Mother of Dragons for what is seeming to be, quite possibly, the last title ever at this particular World Surf League event. And this makes me very sad. Oh I know cutbacks are not the sexiest move ever but it is the move that all surfers can kind of do. I can kind of do one and so can you. We could have a cutback-off and that’s what the professionals are doing too! Like us only with bigger spray! Every men!
I’m going to miss Margaret River… Kelly Slater and his sour grapes be damned.
Wardo would steal the kids wallets while they were in the water and hit on their moms
Team dad is a great spot for him..
I love flamingos. the front page has a lovely graphic. so so lovely. so i clicked. first time ever. and it is for a towel. a fucking towel! not curtains. not a shower screen – should be if they knew anything about their target market – and not a table cloth, which is good for dinner parties. a goddamn towel. the future is homeware peeps. so, stop going into beer and towels and shorts and tshirts and get us some homewares!

Sour Grapes to Income Ratio:
Joe Pulmber buys a Firewire for $750, wishes he bought a CI
Kelly Slater buys Firewire for $7,500,000, wishes he bought CI
JJF extremely impressive. Belatedly earning his World Champ status. Big wave master.
The whole “blood feud” is as passe as my surfing technique but while waiting for Neg’s to send me a link.. I stumbled over to surfline read an article on Bobby Martinez nominated to be Olympic coach for USA surfer’s. The comment section is not so respectful to Bobby. Whoa!
Torment and pain is being inflicted upon MC – this is his area to report on – not yours or LT.
Why would Kolohe get engaged so young? Idiot.
Religion has got a lot to answer for in my book.
Hes softer than baby shit.
Blame Margie’s for being a big beautiful canvas then. Cancel Margie’s, I’m sick of watching safety surfing, flimsy equipment and slow mo replays of nose dives. Just pay JJF to surf there.
Keep the Small Wave Tour to under under 5 foot locations, they don’t like being challenged
J Flo is doing the smoothest cutbacks tho!! Smooth cutback to closeout hack = 9.
