Who's gonna snatch it? John? Caio? Brother? Julian?
Do you ever have premonitions? I have many. Most are wrong, plane crashes, shark attacks etc, but I have ’em.
Today I see four surfers, John, Caio, Julian and Brother. They are in a sitting room together. One by one they fade away except…
Except…
Kolohe Andino!
Yes, according to my penetrating spiritual powers, Kolohe will use the forces of his rail, as well as petty theatric craft, to beat Caio Ibelli in the final of the Margaret River Pro.
The waves are three-to-four feet.
Across the gender divide, the quasi-Brazilian Tatiana WW will win.
Do you feel it?
(Next call in one hour, eight am, Margs time.)
Margaret River Pro Men’s Semifinal Matchups:
SF 1: John John Florence (HAW) vs. Caio Ibelli (BRA)

Yup. They were phenomenal live as well, blustering guiitars and crazy tight drums and bass.
new thread alert!
The lights are on
Khe San is playing
No more drinks here
Thats the Aussie Freebird for our American friends.
Is that a glitch having Rcals round of 16 interview? Or am I in a time warp?
No fresh feed today??? Lazy!
So very beachgrit!
we on!
20 knot nor-easters.
this is gunna be good.
and by good I mean bad.
Not even for the right?
Tati’s first wave was ominous
i don’t know how the powers that be could see it being better than this arvo anytime in the coming week.
We’re all wondering how you can see anything from the big house?
Yep swell has only got to 1.8 and already 24 knot gusts and not going to get better, def should have run the ladies in those silky conditions last night then just flipped the coin on the blokes.
Off for the day
website says another call in 25 minutes..?
or is that for the Women.
Actually i’ll answer my own question.
Do we have any grit heads on the ground at the event? Wondering if they’ll have it today….trying to make plans…
Back to work now for me.
Salty earthling.
What have they got you doin CB?
Diggin fuckin ditches.
Digital ditches.
With a computer fir a shovel.
Like The Man’s bitch,
we all digging’ brother, just some of us know how to whistle and smile while we dig. The poor fuckers who don’t, can’t find the light at the end of the day.
Sho’nuff.
But I don’t think all of us are digging. There’s some folks standing outside the ditch with whips. And yet others on gilded palanquins gliding by, held aloft on burly servant brawn. Peeled grapes on silver platters, fans wafted by eunuchs, and harems ready at the arch of a brow.
… and then there’s you n me, digging.
But yeah. You gotta laugh at something everyday.
you eat peeled grapes from a silver platter every day for a month and you would be begging for a dodgy meat pie. just be happy if you are not a eunuch.
You’re saying he’s not a eunuch?!?
Hey I’m married. Same thing. If I get it once a year I’m lucky. ( not a joke)
Solidarity Brother . This one’s for you CB

We are all doomed
That’s a fact.
Even the free rider.
Caio’s doomed.
Egotistical little wanker.
Kiss your last brazzo goodbye, bexy.
Tatiana
Lollolol – Sorry you’re right, same sex, tho.
Caiolita must have got dispensation to surf in the mens event.
Or there’s some sort of hobbit clause – something like that.
he did pretty good on the wifey thing though, no? maybe out kicked his coverage?
Same sex marriage, I reckon.
I think he will act much less douchier than had the event happened a few years back. For the record i don’t think hr can win unless he gets lucky. And yes you need some luck to win but he will need a bit more than normal.
Could be pumping northpoint on Friday but it’s a big gamble
I am perfectly convinced, in my own mind, that chazz michael michaels has done his dough again.
Either that or he’s won the euromillions
And lost that.
I’m a little concerned with this followed through excile, Seen too many fall off the ledge
can you guys do your own beachside webcast?
with commentary.
show the free surfs
Use the creepy computer auto-voice thing to read out the comments for you, while watching broadcast.
Imagine a WPS post read back in that voice.
A bit like Joe’s commentary.
Randomly interjected into the normal broadcast commentary.
People would pay good money to listen.
on hold until 1.30 pm WA time.
thank fuck. it’s pumping out front
Three thirts our time? Christ.
Monuments to Ineptitude!
D and LT?
I dunno, they’re allright.
But I want to watch the surfing now!
Oof, 10pm California, for the start. Heh. No way I make it.
Isn’t it just!
10:30 pm on the gloomy shores of southern California. That sucks… Gonna be a sleepy day at the office on Monday.
The weather is hella dark around here at the moment. I could see the sun, maybe? That would be amazing.
Have you ever surfed inspiration point?
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours……….?
It’s fucking gonna wake up here tomorrow. Look at the BOM. Tomorrow and Wednesday, woooo!
I might do a board review for the Grit after this swell. A 9’8″ Christenson pintail. GL tow G10 quad set-up. Nobody ever reviews actual guns.
Remember; guns don’t kill people, bullets do.
No no wait! Poor innocent wittle bullets! They don’t kill dose nasty people either!!!
It’s those nasty people doing it to themselves because they insist on slamming their bodies into the cute little lead fellows at 2,500 feet per second!
how would that gun go with a foil on it?
curses, foiled again.
Stuck on the German Coast of the Baltic Sea . I loved these huge southerly storms as a kid , especially mid week during the 80s when I was on the tools during the construction of Darling Harbour .
Rain Drops , Work Stops was written into the site agreement and for these type of storms I was out the gate for 48 , getting paid to surf Cronulla Point . Go hard Nick !
The outer bombies shit on the inner reefs in Sydney! Sooo many waves. You just gotta drop everything when they happen.
Lovely to see you are still Frothing like a Grom ! Maintain the Froth …

Grinder profile pic?
Just put on hold till 130 am for my time zone guess I’m gunna sit this one out. Bet it’s shit mainbreak anyhow and my time will be better spent sleeping regardless
and miss Tatiana??! I think not!
it’ll be 730 pm for me but im hoping they can just run the women and have a shark sighting to make it a 2am John John viewing. Thatll probably help you out a ot huh?
With this wind and weather pattern, they should run today. I guarantee it will be smaller tomorrow, the swell will only kick in tomozza after the wind picks up.
i am from the future! That was a great wave by John John! YES!
