Can't make it to a sports bar? Get your kicks, live, here.
Didn’t we have a gay ol time when we opened the comments on the final day at Bells. So many keyboards simultaneously being pecked in so many countries, pop, pop, pop.
Today, as you might know, maybe not, the Red Bull Cape Fear event at Shipsterns, in Tasmania, is walking into a sixteen-second period, fifteen-foot swell.
Format? Pretty simple.
Twenty surfers. Four five-man heats. Winner of each heat hits the final.
Surfers include: Russ Bierke (who won it last time), Mick Fanning, Justin ‘Jughead’ Allport (underground shredder from Australia), little Pedro ‘Scooby’ Vianna, Laurie Towner, Ryan Hipwood, Billy Kemper, Nathan Florence, Koa Rothman and Tasmanian shredders Alex Zawadzki, Shaun Wallbank, James McKean, James Holmer-Cross, Tyler Hollmer Cross, Mikey Brennan, Zebulon Critchlow, Brook Phillips and Marti Paradisis.
Returning from what was supposed to be a career-ending injury is Mark Mathews, who is also the contest director.
Marky has also brought along his Hollywood pal Chris Hemsworth, whom he has been towing with, lately.
Keramas, Bali?
First heat John John.
Second heat, Jordy.
Third heat, Italo.
Fourth, Filipe.
Tell me that ain’t worth strutting around for.
Red Bull starts at nine am, Tassie time and Bali, which is five thousand clicks north-west of Tasmania, is two hours behind.
Day filled, yes?
Watch Red Bull Cape Fear here.
The Air boys are on – with the two Blakey’s at the wheel.
Malias on fire and she ain’t even got a wave yet!
She’s a blast!
So know one is watching the ladies…….just switched it on and can almost see why.
Do you think surfing is a non-marquee sport? More bad news for the Wozzel today perhaps.
Foxtel has flagged a cut to its spending on “non-marquee sporting content” and another price rise for customers after its controlling shareholder News Corp revealed the pay TV provider made a financial loss of $417 million in 2018.
News Corp was forced to disclose the information to the ASX Monday morning as it had provided the information to potential lenders as it seeks refinancing for Foxtel debt totalling $US1.68 billion.
It’s on the tv in the background, but I’m too busy fucking around on Beachgrit and making food and changing up the different cartridges on the vape pens. Kinda half watching it, but nothing has really caught my eye. But now that I looked again,
K Jonson and Nikki Van Dijk are wearing some skimpy little bikinis.
Nice. Me likely!
I really get off on the chicks!
LT’s take on Ladies Heat 5 will be interesting…….the Malia and Macy standoff. 8 mins to go and not a wave ridden from these two. Defay on wave 5.
He Dosent watch it.
He’s afraid to realize he surfs like a girl.
lets be real here not many blokes surf like Malia
Macy got schooled then.
It sucks how they don’t interview her after every heat.
Nothing lasts forever.
You would think the Val Surf League would have learned something from the Bells Contest, but, alas, no.
#WSLBarelymoreexcitingthanwatchinggolf
Millenials are so needy don’t you think?
The only thing I can say positive about millennials Bex, is they evidently don’t golf—which is cool. Fuck golfing.
People try to put em down
Even though they don’t play a round.
The things they do make them seem cold
They won’t cry bout me being old.
Just talkin bout my degeneration
So stoked for Nate
Hellman!
Didn’t get hit quite so hard with the ugly stick as bro bro
Yup.
Please crowdfund
#putlukeeganoutofourmisery
#lukeeliminationfund
Yeah? I like him.
I loved him as a surfer. As an announcer, he sucks–captain obvious–who adds nothing to the already weak broadcast.
What has happened to BL this year?
No se brother. I’d take Barton back anyday instead of Luke.
“What weve seen today is the guy that gets a couple waves right of the bat does the best”
Genius, that Luke.
The real question is why are they holding this contest in 1-2 waves?
Crazy annoying hey mate, just like a gnarly greek pube stuck in ya front teeth, I’d dare imagine.
That sounds like your graphic personal experience speaking there you dare say matey
Na just noticed ya chick in ya avatar pic is all
Not an avatar and Indian not Greek
Then ya know what I’m talking about then.
Haha. I know, an Indian could be even more dark and stained than a Greek.
And if ya dont know,know ya know
and she keeps that kitty well shaved
Grecian pubic loom?
Happened to me in Italy I dare say. I went there once and had a romance with an Italian chick my friends said had an “ass to die for”. But a bush to contend with. Was trimmed on the sides neatly, but still some long ones in places. I had rugburns on the base of my dick for a week after I left Italy. And yes, I did get some Italian pubes stuck in my teeth. No regrets!
All healed up in time by the time I went to South France to continue my European conquest!
But, I’ve lately been seriously thinking about going to Greece. You know I would still man up and just do what needs to be done.
What about as a business man or a lover?
The former, I have no idea. Why dont you tell us about the latter. Did he give you a courtesy reach around?
Na that’d be the tits but.
or your clit if he was buggering you
Whatever big Lou kinks on
You are hereby sentenced to a life time of sitting on the shoulder getting drenched in a thousand shooners of rail spray
Seriously, Joan hit that lip perfectly???
Yes mate, all one thousand of them.
What if Nathan Florence wins the next Eddie comp or whatever it’s officially called next time they run a huge Waimea event?
Now at lunch. Trying to watch Shippies but video won’t play.
Fuckin useless.
Fuck CB I just mumbled some shit at the client and bailed at 10, picked up a carton, loaded the betting account up and ripped in.. priorities mate.
Wouldn’t play for me on the cell phone at all. Picked up the little lady’s tablet for the first time in a long time and it worked like a charm. After I poked around on her iPad for a bit to see what tabs and such were open and her search history recently was. Didn’t find anything scandalous, but a few shoe and purse shopping sites open. Now I feel bad like a snooping jerk. Oh well, what can I say? I’m an asshole.
no harm as long as you are happy for her to do the same to you……what would she find?
All kinds of scandalous shit.
Post a frame crab – might be more exciting than the surfing right now
Buy her some shoes!
Maybe she goes into private browsing while searching, researching, gang-bangs.
Could very well be the case mate. She is a kinky little minx. And let’s just say that a dirty dawg like me doesn’t exactly end up living with a choir girl. A girl like Rosie would leave me in a heartbeat.
get her a girlfriend!
We have talked about it, but it has never actually really happened.
With her.
seek and ye shall find
Why are they running? Fork must be bleak.
Go Laurie!
Terribly underscored on his 6-something, or?
Final of Shipsterns and Hollmer-Cross styles thru a fucking bomb and not a peep from anyone on here?
He got towed in so I could not count it….nice style though
I can appreciate that angle of thinking.
How’s the profile shots of Mikey “Mongrel” Wright #69 looking like a character. Fuck yeah. Watching Bali on the tv, shippies on the tablet and comments on the cell phone all at once. I Don’t usually catch the contests live, but right now everything is going on all at one right now!
A meh barrel on a six footer, and he was towed in. Hardly the second coming of the tow-in revolution, let alone a perfect ten
Why, with about 4 mins to go in the final, did the H-C bros elect not to go on the wave that creamed Jughead? I reckon that they’ll regret that decision for the rest of their lives!.
I remember. Bali 2008. Surfing Kuta couple days after Padang event. Slater paddles out. I ask him why he went switch for the second barrel on that one wave.
“It’s just what the wave asked for, man.”
Guy must be special. Ain’t no wave ever asked me to hop switch foot as I’m bottom-turning into a tube stall.
Slater’s best wave of 2019
Let down on both events
Yeah, and such bullish forecasts too.
Yep give me the Friday arvo of Bells with a box any day of the week
That’s letting Swellnet off lightly, it’s not like they missed by a hair, 4-6ft shippies was about 3 orders of magnitude away from what they predicted.
Actually where’s Chas, Shippies has surely earnt it’s place on the “not so big wave tour”?
slater fucking robbed, that turn was insane
wow!
Have to agree – even though he is the third best in the water that turn was better than some of the 6’s they have been throwing down
Judges don’t appreciate how hard they are to not fall backwards on haha
Another sick turn by Slater. I’m enjoying watching him in this heat.
they rewarded that one ! The old boy still has it thats for sure.
Ricardo just got a 5.33 for a single turn crap air. It was well over scored compared to Slaters 360 carve – and I am a kiwi!
Kelly looks a few gears behind the others so far…..but how’s his form for a 47 yr old in 2 foot crap. Impressive.
I don’t dig Rosie’s blouse.
Too boho?
anti-vax soccer mum
A catch!
already caught!
I know, she has so much potential. If she would only truly show us what she was fully capable of.
Gabs drew a mildcard
At Shipsterns it looks like they can chose to paddle or tow? Is that the dealio? Question. What would ELO do ?
Rocket SUP!
Come on Gab make my day.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
You got multis all through the seeding round? Pays a million bucks on ten!
Yeah I have a few on…..but not too many later in the round. If Gabby can win this I would have got the first 6 so might call it for the day. Might be able to buy Balter instead of New this week Am conflicted though as would like to see Rio win.
What’s the payout?
I had a yankee…..so its been good. max payout was 7.26 on the four leg multi. But the yankee gives you a much better end result if you miss one leg.
Kolohe / Seth / Kanoa /Griffin gives you $33.78 if you fancy that one
That’s a sweet lil play.
unlucky…
