Show the horror and blackness that rots your soul! Or go light!
Welcome to Portugal, a punch-above-its-weight colonialist power that once held dominion over hunks of Africa with the added kink of eating up Brazil.
Today, according to the Surfline forecast for the penultimate event of the WSL’s WCT schedule, the surf is “jumbled (‘five-to-seven-foot faces’), with mixed-up shape but improving some over the afternoon behind the frontal passage.Moderate onshore winds continue through around midday before winds ease and trend more favorable in the afternoon. Rain showers likely through around midday.”
Tomoz, better winds with a few bomb sets.
A world title is, how do you say, on the line, although it’ll take two days of rough and tumble for the smog to clear and the action to start.
Still, it ain’t the worst thing in the world to back and forth with virtual pals.
So, light up, cool down, part your dressing gown and comment you know where.

You been around the block a few times.
The one with the with the deep fried falafel balls?
Japan had a free kick entry in the IOC contract. Actually a double entry, one boy one girl. No qualification needed. Kanoa will be one of them. How could that POSSIBLY BE A SURPRISE.
True. The normal east coast surf experience – looking back at bare sheep country – is not my favourite. The few spots that are truly wild are so special.
Worst thing: the lack of reef/point waves :-/
Perish the thought! Dez was more a Picture Homegirls kinda scribe back in the day.
Watched heat analyzer. Was there an official announcement that when Colapinto rides a wave consisting of one back hand re-entry he gets a high 6?
She looks kinda hot
Colander of Pinto beans.
Somebody gave you a downvote, I see. Somebody was “triggered!”
Hahaha. Fuck em if they get all upset and pissy, and can’t take a joke.

There’s a contest live right now? Shut the front door!!
They never show waves after the hooter . I guess Kelly needs the publicity …..?
Kelly: Hey Michel, if you like riding for Firewire you might want to surf very conservatively this heat…
give enough time to get to each event by sail
I thought the perk to Peniche was that somewhere is always offshore.
Bed time. Watched Gabriel, then did so study/reading, then noticed Julian’s two turn combo. I would have scored it higher than 7.33. The man surfs good.
I look forward to a more detailed analysis
3 nice but soft turns for a 6.5 for Connor and 2 on the edge on a much more powerful wave gets not even 1 point more ?
forecast this bad that they have to run with shit waves like this?
Textbook Portugal
Gets good twice a year

Tell that to people opposed to Brexit.
as soon as boris gets his way the great whites are like “it’s on, boys”
They should have another referendum .
Do you want a referendum that we should have another referendum cause we didn’t win the other referendum
And if it’s close like the other referendum should we have another referendum cause you should really only have referendum that go the way we’d want referendums to go?
