Let's drink our teas and coffees together.
It’s Sunday morning in America and the perfect day for professional surfing. The NFL hasn’t quite begun yet but is just around the corner and, even if you are not a professional football fan, you couldn’t help but catch yesterday’s news that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck retired near his prime, leaving a potential half a billion dollars on the table.
Half a billion dollars.
Can you imagine that? I think it is a lot of money and if I had half a billion dollars the first thing I’d buy, as previously stated, is a 1974 Porsche 914. The second thing I’d buy is Teahupoo and while we’re talking about buying places, I think President Donald Trump should float a purchase of Tahiti to President Emmanuel Macron. I think President Macron would be in a listening mood. Then Tahiti and Hawaii could be formed into the same state with a “French” speaking part and an “English” speaking part.
It would be like warm Canada and who doesn’t like Canada?
A few questions, before we chat live.
What wouldn’t you do for half a billion dollars?
Do you think Kelly Slater internally mocks anyone who retires?
Is Gabriel Medina going to win this event?
Longtom is feeling Kelly + Italo and you should read his summary here, if you haven’t already.
People will get sent home from warm Canada today.
That’s fun, no?
“Clerk…I’d like a carton of Salem’s please.”
“Ahhh….you smoke the Peace pipes.”
Salem , Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and I saw Goody Proctor with the Devil Salem ….I’ve been with a few witches but burning them is probably not the answer . Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend . You all send him off with much love and song ….
Call Grand Master Flash
It’s like a jungle
Sometime it makes me wonder
How Kaipo keeps from goin under aha aha ha …
No …. is it near Cape Hatteras ? Always wanted to surf there under the lighthouse….. but I read James Joyce’s book of the same name and I do like a good wake though . A bit like the Mexican, Día de Muertos . Party like the deceased is still there ,and talk about them , and with them , and move on .One of my DAD’s friend’s died this week , who enjoyed singing , and instead of playing some one else songs at his funeral they used a tape of him singing his favorite songs ….
When I throw the tongue you’re all invited !
I’ll have 60 mins of Jurpel prerecorded for the service – hahahahahahaaaaa

Yep done. Only caught that last 15. Things are looking up at least.
M-Rod with a dirty turd at Teahupoo. Who woulda thunk it
Mendes really stamping his authority on that heat too
have a shot everytime they flash up the forecast.
Have a shot at Whom ? They told me is was going to be small so I left the gun in the garage …
Turtle. No one ever listens to Turtle.
Turtle Joe Turps , the 5th teenage mutant ninja , Sadly forgotten by the renaissance and now subtle torturer for ,the we suffer league ?
He does love Pottza and has mind numb(ingly) chucks commentary skills
https://m.youtube.com/watch…
Turtle Joe ….. explaining the importance of the element of speed in surfing’s holy trinity of speed , power and flow like a Kung Fu Master ….
Damn that looked fun
they are not man…! in a 20 people tour they also enter the contest because the wildcards also enter
Richie Coffin – rippd
Lol
He doesn’t kanoa floaterer when he sees one
I heard he is getting some good gigs playing at Wakes …… finnegan begin again
Rich Coffin!
Hahahah
God I love Americans
My feed freezes when the Jeep commercial starts, but then keeps trying to play and when it does, the voice over “I surf the ____” is in a chipmunk voice! Fucking way better. They should change it
Can any one tell me who made the piece of shit looking white board in the beginning of the Jeep Ad and who thought it was good idea to use a secondhand item to sell a new car ….?
A previous OWN’r (aka E-Lo)
i am pretty sure its Navarro´s board
Ramon’s …. the big wave legend from Chile ?
yep, it s the only way it makes sense and since he is speaking..
Thanks for revealing the truth IT Veritas ….
https://media2.giphy.com/me…
In tubes / wine lies the truth …..
I always see the pressure ding on that board
It’s has been doing my head in since Jeep decided to surf in between heats. ………was it to make it feel……coughs … authentic ?
so we have spent to days in shit conditions to eliminate people and wait for he epic days..does anyone else see how stupid and un useful is this..? WSL cut this thing in halve and stop playing around
They can’t hear you. You need more exclamation points
that works better on STAB
Beach Grit’s worse works better on STAB. The(ir) writing is on the wall
Eliminating people who could do it very well in bigger conditions. Sad…
Exactly. Nek minnit it’s a Jadson v mendes final at pumping chopes
Are you still still angry about the Knights getting done by the Tigers and taking it out on the WORKING CLASS HERO , jaddy boy , shame , and Jessica Rabbit of the three crowns .
Haha I can’t be angry about that capitulation. They’re so far gone it’s sad. It’s like being in abusive relationship at this point.
Next Year …. move on champ .
no really, eliminating irrelevant surfers
I don’t think so..the locals could give some surprises here. https://www.youtube.com/wat…
the locals would make the cut also because the wildcards would enter the contest .We just get rid of ten irrelevant surfers and two days of shitty waves
Shitty waves are irrelevant.
Yep. Bourez would be great to watch in bigger conditions.
Bourez would make the cut
like who?
sorry, yes Drollet for sure.
from 20th down
Totally. Matahi would’ve eaten most of the field when it jumps to what everyone knows is coming.
Mrod, lollygagging, too much acai.
he’s much better at instagram live
Coffin Rider ,wearing my Tech Sun Rise singer song writer model squeaks out of another .
Just wondering if The Eagles’ Tequila Sunrise was on his song list …. I thought it was a joke , the list , but no , it’s REAL !
sadly.
Yes the list is real alright, I forced myself to read his exlplanations as why too.
It was an awful experience…

Sorry ! A bit of a Slater v Bruce Irons takeoff , without the lay back
the judges lapped it up. a 7.83 would have been better from my wallets perspective
Bugger ……. could be some crazy seeding stuff going on in the next round too …
California crime reference. Hopefully that heat didn’t get him all gassed.
Didn’t catch that. Good one Phat
That was a screamer!
I didn’t think he was going to make it ….. and that’s how you convince the GANG OF FIVE to give you an 8.
Shame it wasn’t Gang of Four the Chinese communist punk band from Leeds ?
Chairman Pritamo Ze Dong may have put the hard word in.
Cultural Revolution ….. don’t tell Cote
I hope longtom expands further on your comment
Dozen+ boats idling in a tight pattern, dripping oil in one spot on the sensitive reef all day, glowing glowing gone.
Coral are sensitive animals, as a reminder to all of us phone media marketing slaves.
And, eF the boats, skis etc
20 boats chugging around dumping oil on the coral reef, pretty much the antithesis of glowing glowing gone no?
