Open Thread: Comment live, Margaret River Pro Elimination Round!

Let's have fun!

It’s live, again, and ooooee! I don’t know what happened today. Oh, wait. I do. Lots of driving. Lots and lots of sitting in traffic but enough about that. Let’s get together and watch the men’s elimination round. The most exciting… however many minutes in surfing.

Heat 1: Wade Carmichael v Jack Freestone v Jack Robinson

Heat 2: Michel B. v. Leo F. v Jacob Willcox

Heat 3: Wil.i.an Cardoso v Yago D v Fred Morais

Heat 4 Ace Buchan v Kelly Slater v Caio Ibelli

Jack Robinson is in the water now. Pottz is imagining about heats in The Box. Nobody is giving too much away.

The staircase has microphones on it.

Niki Van D. is tapping into herself.

Pottz just said, “Bring back the biff, I reckon.” and my feed went dead.

Did they cut Pottz’s mic for inciting violence?

Much to discuss.

Let’s do this!

Fuck, plenty of that in Oz as well.

And the vocal fry thing that chicks do is one of the most horrible trends ever.

Chief Hot stuff

Does Rosie get deep in the box?

Rod

That’s a trick question, yeah?

Chief Hot stuff

No, just wondering if she likes a bit of box..i think Steph likes the box.

Rod

Seems to be a common theme, cough, ……kegs legs Tyler

longtom

I prefer Rosie in the puffy jacket

astro

God – the judge love is almost breathtaking

channelbottom

I didn’t watch.
Did anything interesting happen?

grumpy local

Slater looked in form and won his heat. The end.

channelbottom

… and were the waves in respectable form / size to say ‘the worlds best blah blah etc’?

astro

Yep they were for that heat. It pumped. Was good to watch. Worth seeing the replay

channelbottom

OK I’ll check it out later. Ta.

toofattosurf

big spoiler, silvana sits through the heat with priority, gets caught inside aplenty by major sets, fail to score a backup four whilst letting the winning wave slip onto cc’s lap in the final exchange… 🤦‍♂️

grumpy local

It was… contestable

astro

Wade got kneecapped.
Kelly looked fukn great on a Tokoro

channelbottom

Guy here broke his leg badly surfing yesterday. Apparently just coming off a backside sorta floater re-entry kinda deal and the wave just lipped the board through his leg. Poor fucker.

astro

Pork hunt

Chief Hot stuff

Jackin the box tomoz

Chief Hot stuff

Potz forgot to brush his teeth, again.

Rod

He’s a soap dodging pommy; those pegs are stock

Chief Hot stuff

Someones dad replaced luke while he sorts out his ADD.

channelbottom

Kelly is on here for sure.

Sometimes I think he’s Wiggs.

astro

Joe is just just – crazy !
Crazy heats, crazy matchups – crazy

astro

Total og val girl

Waterproof Polo

Shit there’s some “like” action going on! I hadn’t noticed, now I can’t not..

Mads Naeraa

For her pleasure?

astro

Barton wins astros Telestrator of the Year.
Hands Down.

Gra Murdoch

Has a single useful piece of information ever been brought to life by the Telestrator? It’s always – here’s where they’re looking, here’s a more vertical turn, here’s a less vertical turn…. it would be worth a commentator’s career to draw a knob and earn a place in infamy and BG’s hearts.

Gra Murdoch

No doubt it’s been mentioned before in this thread, but do they get to, like, a week or so before the Margies comp and realise they haven’t done any new West Oz promos (like they swore they would every year for the last decade) then shrug, wheel out the old ones again, and swear to update ’em next year this time fer sure?

Chief Hot stuff

They got wineries and pubs and um, other stuff. Oh yeah, sharks
Looks like a cunt of a place

longtom

both these goofy make surfing look horrible.

astro

Look at Caroline’s scores. Waaooow
Over cranked judging

longtom

I know, imagine kiddies watching and thinking that is how you surf.

astro

Good point !
It is, as you say, fugly.

f u

I think caroline is surfing well

astro

She’s got a mean backhand hack

f u

her form coming off the bottom is way ahead of the other women I think.

astro

Her n tatiana are really similar. Caro got the edge on backhand.

longtom

I want to appreciate it, I really do, but I find that style so crook to watch……I can barely stand it.

f u

i like the way she opens her arms in the bottom turn and faces her chest toward where she wants to go.

Chief Hot stuff

Would it help if she was 48?

ricmatic

Very hard to watch. Please address Jen See.

f u

best backside bottom turn of the women
