Super heats include Flip Toledo v Jack Robinson, John John v Jack, Brother v Colapinto, Kelly v Cardoso…
This is going to scoop your eyes out, get the spit rolling down your chin, I think.
“Its absolutely terrifying,” said Kieren Perrow, the WSL commissioner, former tour surfer and lover of thick lips.
Eight-foot Box and a raft of heats including John John Florence vs Jack Freestone (heat three), Jeremy Flores vs Sebastian Zietz (heat four), Kelly v Cardoso (six) and…all eyes on this…heat, nine, Filipe Toledo vs Jack Robinson.
Now, y’think Jack’s going to cyclone Toledo, yeah?
Watch.
Filipe has rubbed the lipstick off and been putting time into waves that have been, previously, a little uncomfortable.
Right now, it’s my new pal Italo Ferreira v Soli Bailey.
(Obviously, the gals aren’t running, equality be damned.)

the dude writing this crap is so far up his arse it ain’t funny – a no talent crayon user who thinks he’s the man, but just exposes himself as a flowery tossed trying way too hard to be cool
Suck it up Brazzos, your boy Italo just got his ass handed to him. Not even close…
My problem was never getting proper medical attention; I just shook it all off, and now my shoulder is all crooked and fucked (should have done physical therapy), broken bones have healed weird (toes, ribs), knees are fucked, etc. Anyway, my advice to my friends/etc. is to use that damn insurance, and get those injuries checked out.
Ouch!

No work tomorrow, sweet 👌
Would you do Duru in a box?
Would you do Duru with a fox?
Not in a box.
Not with a fox.
I would not do Duru here or there.
I would not do Duru anywhere
Is the disqus broken? Frozen for last 20 min. Wheres Neg’s to fix it.
Are there Japanese and Spanish people watching WSL that can’t speak English?
Surely the WSL with all its resources etc could have the capacity/brains to run both the Men’s and Women’s events at the same time. Massive opportunity missed. Could have run the women in good clean conditions at either Nth Point or Main break this morning while the men were at The Box. In the best conditions of the waiting period. To put them out in onshore Main break crap is embarrassing
Bowling bending left, late arvo Margs, looking fun, nice to see. Good on ya Brissa for getting the camera looking that side. .
She competes like a veteran.
Yeah she’s good. Wish Nikki would sit further out the back, and get another left, rather than caught inside again, or taking dud rights. .
This is worse than dragin a hotty back to the hotel, realizin she’s a he and doin it snyway, then wakin up next to her, I would imagine
True Longtom?
Heartbroken – again.
Fuck
Good night
He blew it sadly. Poor wave selection once more. Otherwise was ripping. Fully committed.
Soy Boy lucky to get away with this one.
Are you guys still here watching the fat strippers?
Wow Ron Dog and Barton calling the judges out. I like it.
How was kanoas cutty on that 7? Haha
Yeah i think he was real brave – that tide was getting way too low, but he was still going for every wave, even after copping a pounding. And then that last one, phew! The biggest wave of the heat – he knew he needed a big score and went for it on a huge deadly wave with very little chance of making. That’s gotta be brave. Certaintly laid down a marker for the rest of his fellow countrymen. Glad he is okay, Cheers.
Down to my last clove ciggie after Indo 🙁
I just found a fresh pack I had stashed and forgotten about
Fork it over! Or at least save two. I’ll bring a good sixer to the Point early July. Beers on me if you spot me a Sampoerna 🙂
Ricks fukked.
Judges have spoken
🙁
He is back in the game
I really thought they were gonna low ball that.
That was NOT a 7!
