Open Thread: Comment Live, the Oi Rio Pro seeding round!

Barton Lynch calls the surf quality "A QS level event!"

What’s the seeding round? Do you know? I still don’t at all but no matter. Is it like a mini Founders Cup for the start of every contest? Like an extra bonus chance for Barton Lynch to make my heart soar? I don’t know but no matter. Beggars can’t be choosers etc. and it is on right now with Italo Ferreira chewing up the business and…

…oh I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. It is too early and my head is still in the sails.

But are you at work?

Watch here. Chat with friends.

Pour a drink before 11:00 am.

Beat that summertime sadness.

Here’s what we’ve missed…

Heat 1: Kanoa I. beat Jadson A. and Peterson C.

Heat 2: Gabby M. beat Soli B. and Ace B.

Heat 3: Yago D. beat Adriano de S. and Kolohe A.

Heat 4: Filipe T. beat Frederico M. and Seabass Z.

Heat 5: Italo F. beat Deivid Silva and Mateus Herdy became injured.

John John is in the water now. What are you waiting for?

“Passion, swarm of rabid selfies”
Hahaha!

James Bickerton

I’m assuming that Jen is not the only woman on this site LGR ? It is one of my dad’s ( who voted No to Gay Marriages but only because he didn’t like them appropriating the term «  Marriage «  ) favorite play on words.

Ed

Kanoa kicked arse again!

Pete Peligroso

That was not dream tour stuff!

Ollybeak

This event is firmly the responsibility of our American and European commenters. Just woke up and it’s already over. Timezone does not align with us antipodeans – something I am not particularly sad about. We get day time Teahupoo and evening J-Bay. Best timezone for WSL viewing?

f u

hawaii

Ollybeak

Australian leg in the evening for you?

f u

not for time but because there are almost always better waves down the road than at the contest. no envy

Ollybeak

I think this changes the premise of the question somewhat…

John Wayne

So big bad Brad goes straight into the drivers seat.

astro

Yea – he was in Brazil last year too.
Don’t think he does anything else for CT events.

OffRocker

And no joe? So refreshing. Even potz was More interesting with a new sparring partner. They could keep joe as the history nerd, Pete Mel as the weather nerd, coming in to give short cut aways, and keep them well off the main commentary… albeit recognising both Pete Mel and Joe are not the epitome of weather forecasting or surf history respectively

John Wayne

So the girls had jet ski assist this morning. Has that ever happened before in round one of a 3 foot beachie before? Do we know why?

Preston

The men had it too!

Superworm

Because gnar

Phat-wan kerr

nice double bird Jezza.

Jen See

Six to go and we’ll actually make 100! We are so good at the things.

Phat-wan kerr

one

astro

Two

ricmatic

Three

ricmatic

No I take it back

John Wayne

Next time you should set this up with a timer – you should be able to do that easily enough. Would be well over 100 by now

Chas Smith

Boom! And all to samba drums!

Jen See

The question is, do I even watch the seeding round replay for the women? Or do I just skip it and wait for round 3.

John Wayne

based on their performance levels in round one I would not bother………..they are not worthy of your time

Jen See

yikes. maybe i’ll scan through quicklike.

astro

Post show Jen. Why go through the torture

Jen See

this is not bad advice!

Phat-wan kerr

you should write a recap with out watching it.

Jen See

don’t think i haven’t considered it!

John Wayne

You actually could do that fairly easily today. The inflated scores tell the story well and truely.

Superworm

Just title your article “Here’s what I was doing while the Women’s Seeding Round was on” and let loose

Huli Opu

38 of those are you and Chas ….. Yawn …. zzzzz

ricmatic

Are any pros creationists?

James Bickerton

I don’t know but it will soon be the hour of procreation in my neck of the woods …..

ricmatic

You dirty dog, you!

James Bickerton

A Hard Man is Good to Find ?

Superworm

I’d rather not find, but that’s just me

James Bickerton

Good for my wife and a play on words with NN unheralded 2 time world champ Dooma ….

Nick Carroll

They are ALL creationists. The world was created especially for them!

Mads Naeraa

Good to see Joan Duru on his forehand.

James Bickerton

Great to see all the Goofies finally going left ……

John Wayne

great to see some lefts !

James Bickerton

Yep ! Sadly one year too late for the Oz Goofies who were knocked off tour last year losing both Cloudbreak and this dodgy backwash beauty ?

Superworm

Goofies should just identify with naturals

John Wayne

So its 5am and I just woke up. Last night when I went to bed I was annoyed with Sally Fitz. She had let me down. This morning I am absolutely furious with her. She really failed me. The payoff on this multi was $57.72 per $1 put down. Ahhhhhhhhh

https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Phat-wan kerr

don’t start me. I had 10 pick multi today.( I left out Kellys heat and jjf’s heat). have Duru in this one but its already fucked thanks to Jordy.

John Wayne

Ohhh what was that paying ? Must have been right up there….today was one of those days where the multi just looked the much better option. Wish I had done the yankee instead. Oh well them’s the breaks.

Phat-wan kerr

742.

John Wayne

ohhh dam that Saffa. Lets hope he gets a 33rd as punishment

Phat-wan kerr

I hope someone steals his shoes.

Phat-wan kerr

Duru losing makes me feel better. I would have been eating my fingers through that last heat if I was still in the running.

Chas Smith

Pottz just racistly declared that all the French speaking surfers hang out without providing evidence.

Jen See

Well, do you speak French? Not like you’re hanging out with them

Chas Smith

Kaipo also just said, “That wave said ‘no’ but Michel Bourez said, ‘yes!'” What the hell happened to consent?

Jen See

Gone forever! Blown away by the onshore winds!

Phat-wan kerr

I seem to remember a well documented trial where it was established that no meant yes.

Dung beetle

And yes means anal!

Jen See

Flores does speak charming English, howevs!

Phat-wan kerr

Flores could speak Swahili and you would probably find it charming.

Jen See

This might be true, actually.

Chas Smith

Hmmmm. What do people think about the WSL Pure stop trashing waves cartoon?

Mads Naeraa

“and quite rightly so…”
Pottz’ism of the year. Prepare to get carpet bombed.

Jen See

Okay but maybe I switch to women’s world cup at noon? Idk.

JohnsKnees

why do they need a ski in 3ft surf?

Jen See

show off that sponsor wrap!

Phat-wan kerr

contractual obligations with red bull. oops. sorry. I mean safety.

astro

Lolol – Pottz, “it’s impossible to find a clean faced wave out there. You gotta lower your standards. “

Mads Naeraa

Pottz, there might not be room at the bottom of the scale for you.

Chas Smith

Can we talk about this for a moment? https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Wowen Ilson

damn

Mads Naeraa

Many moments, yes…

Chas Smith

It’s like the worst advertisement ever made and nobody can say a thing because Zoe is just too mesmerizing.

Quinoa Iweararashie

But it’s “beer in its organic form!”

James Bickerton

It’s that white old board that looks like a piece of shit at the beginning of the Ad that really annoys me ? Buy a New Jeep but keep your shit board .Fuck That ! Buy a New Board instead ! Trade the Jeep for something Cheap …..

Ricky Spanish

At least it’s not that fucking Jeep ad again

Abscessed Llama

Just saw spread on her Daddy’s Brazillian Home in Architect Digest. Dude is living really good!

Chas Smith

If this thread get over 100 comments it’ll be the most glorious day in the Oi Rio Pro’s history.

Jen See

Well we did get a late start!

Chas Smith

I don’t need your sass right now.

Jen See

Oh I got so much sass! How are we gona get to 100 without sass?

Chas Smith

You’re right! Sorry… gotta get my head in the game here. I sat too long and didn’t get priority in the lineup.

ricmatic

You’ll need to reset.

Phat-wan kerr

too early for a vodka?

Chas Smith

No way! I’m gonna pour one right now!

Phat-wan kerr

good man.

Chas Smith

It’s too late in fact. I’ve really blown it this morning.

Phat-wan kerr

sounds like you better make up for lost time. a shot every time Pottz says “this kid”

Chas Smith

I’m already drunk.

Jen See

Priority, totally overrated. Just go!

Abscessed Llama

Better head back to Lemoore..

Mads Naeraa

Last year was pretty glorious. Well maybe not quite glorious, but a bloody good spectacle.
