Don't be passive and dumb. Raise some noise!
Did you know you can order French wine in four sizes: demi (half a litre), distingué (one litre), formidable (three litres) and catastrophe (five litres)?
A fitting entrée, one might say, to tonight’s broadcast of the Quiksilver Pro where Surfline calls six-to-eight-foot faces early, easing. Offshores in the morn.
Pour yourself a drink. Yes?
Mine is champagne and barley water or, if friends arrive, which is unlikely, a turkey cocktail: to one large turkey add one gallon of vermouth and a demijohn of angostura bitters. Shake.
If you’ve been following these Comment Live streams you’ll notice a not-so-subtle lesson in modern French cinema dressing up the main photo: we began on day one with Brigitte Bardot from Et Dieu Créa la Femme (watch here), Alain Delon in Plein Soleil (watch here), Ludivine Sagnier in Swimming Pool, day four was Gaspar Noé’s Love and, today, Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos in Blue is the Warmest Colour.
Anyway, contest etc.
Watch here, comment you know where and wait for Longtom’s hot volume analysis tomorrow.

whoever said winning isn’t everything never won anything – aweseome for Jeremey
One hell of a day in the office for Jeremy.
And John John still above Kelly…
He’s not really French at all
Sacre bleu!!
Félicitations Jezza
Come on Jeremy! #ItsAboutFuckingTime!
Well done, good stuff.
Italo defeated by the tide.
God damn I want Jeremy to take this!
On the app it’s showing the score before the wave. Classic.
You can script this ?
Yes, but no… as the French would say. If you think it’s scripted who did Jeremy lose to?
No Jezza killed it . It was only in the context of Preston’s comment .
Going out with a Bang , Freddy P style …. ?
He jokingly said he might retire ? Maybe if he wins he should / will ?
I love the smell of pro surfing in the morning…
carrrisa just dropped the napalm
At 4:45 pm ?
I’ve been smelling it all day. I stink of it as a matter of fact!
Stay strong
Girls have been ripping the last two contests.
Carissa Moore outstanding.
She can probably get out now . Caroline has grinded her way to the final and not really put it on the line especially in her heats in the shorey .
I love being right !
You are.
Obviously Caroline is young and growing up in Florida might not be the best place to hone her tuberiding skills but as Slater, the Hopgoods and the Lopez Bros have shown that can definitely be learnt on the road ?
Yeah for sure. Her tube riding style, seeing it at the pool, looks like it could do with some work. Like you said, rightly so, she is still young and will keep improving, you’d reckon.
It won’t be from lack of resources …
anyone just see Jeremy’s tube , fuck when you see how close they are to the beach , feels like……
You taught them how Brutus ! Chips off the old Brutus Block !
fuck I’m here watching
Hope they are giving you the VIP TREATMENT , that you deserve ?
ha got kicked out of the competitors area, had to come back to the factory here to watch…
You can take the man away from a wild coast but you can’t take the wild coast out of the man . Live it up and cause chaos !
haha……Kapitan Chaos is alive and chaotic haha!
Maintain the Rage !
Feels like…it should have been a 10. Oh well, hope he wins now.
Complete?
