Watch: The Wonderful Waves of West Oz!

Alliteration bad, waves great!

Do you know why Tour pros complain about holding the contest at Margaret River Main Break? It is because the Margaret River area is one of the most wave-rich regions in the world, and Main Break is one of their absolute worst spots.

It’s so bad, in fact, that locals Taj Burrow, Jack Robbo, Jacob Wilcox, Jay Davies etc. claim that they don’t even have an advantage out there, because they never surf the joint.

So where do they surf? Allow this video to guide you!

#TourNotes: West Oz Sessions at The Box

Some waves I think I saw: North Point, Rabbits, Box, …and the last one lost me. But do they not look significantly more fun than the burger-zone comp site?

Another observation: Despite using an iPhone or handycam the majority of the time, Peter King is the ace video man on Tour. The lesson here is that relationships and tenacity will always trump a fifty-thousand dollar camera. Remember that kids!

Anyways The Box is starting soon so bye! (Edit: they decided not to run at The Box despite all the people we just watched getting tubed out there. Is this not a terrible move on the WSL’s part? Even if it wasn’t going to be perfect, running at The Box would at least make people want to watch.)

Relieved to see Jack Robbo found Toledo a sheltered 1ft wave to spin on

Peter King “Trumps” a lot of stuff. Fuck that guy.

At first I had a similar reaction, but Strider just said Kelly almost drowned! A death would be what I call EXCITING!! Think of the storylines coming into Pipe: It Takes A [DEATH] To Make A Title!

Peter King is NOT the ace video editor on Tour. Though he pulls in the top 3.

Has anyone here quoted Jackie “The Jokeman” Martling yet?

I’ve never seen her wrestle but I’d sure like to see her box!

SURF

Artie’s gonna do what Artie’s gonna do

If he’s still alive, of course.
