Impossible to believe it can get better but... can it?
(Ed. Note: I sincerely apologize if the contest is called off for the day. I have to run north, to podcast, but if there wasn’t a place for us to chat live from the opening hooter, my heart would break.)
If you did not thoroughly, profoundly enjoy professional surfing yesterday then you truly are a grumpy local, a Grumpy local even, and deserve much gazes of wonderment. For I found it impossible not to smile from ear to ear, not to thrill at every bit of it.
Longtom wrote poetry and you can catch up here before tucking into a brand new day below. The quickest recap? Pip and Jordan are finished, Gabe and Italo locked into death embrace, Kelly and John John too, the Wall of Positive Noise came crumbling down on a cuddly panda’s head.
Very rude, all things considered.
I must say, the comments had me in stitches. It sure is fun to enjoy professional surfing with friends.
Chat below.
G.O.A.T.
Funny how all the star kids suck dick next to him in real waves. Think Gabby will ever make a four section barrel at back door in his life? Never, ever
Prior to Kelly’s wave, Gabriel Medina’s multi-section backdoor 10 was the most memorable wave of the past few Pipe Masters. He’s a freak out there too.
No longer in loving memory?

Bye Zeke!
See you tomorrow! Same bat time, same bat channel!
I have no opportunity to watch, what with family obligations etc.
Have good time, and GIVE’EM HELL!
Judging by the number of people standing on the bluff and waves coming over the wall, there must be some decent action at Mavericks. Think I’ll mosey on over there and watch some more carnage.
NORTH SHORE SOLID GOLD

The useless seeding round strikes again.
Damn another 2 hours til next call
Looks windy and awful.
Yeah, no way it’s running in 20 min.
Air Wind …..?
It’s not looking good
Stab’s web stats vs. Beach Grit’s?
WSL web stats vs. Beach Grit’s?
Ashton’s comp stats as a registered WSL athlete?https://www.worldsurfleague…
I’m too lazy to check, so I’m hoping someone here knows what the time difference is between East Coast Australia and Hawaii. I have to plan my day.
9.21 am in Hawaii …. assuming it is 3 hours difference in Tweed Heads so fuck knows north of the border ?
At least the curtains are keeping their hue
Well, that could make it either two hours or four hours difference if I have to add in daylight saving.
google it bitch…
72,000 seconds
If I’m too lazy to look it up, what makes you think I’m not too lazy to ignore this response?
Call off at 10am, then will pump from 11. I ain’t mad, it’s been a good comp.
Stockholm syndrome always strongest during Hawaii
Will you be rooting for Yago or Julian ?… I personally put club before country !
I think I would prefer to root Julian. I am sure Yago is a nice guy and he surfs really good but I reckon he would be an inconsiderate lover
Good choice ! Just up the road.
damn crying jordy everywhere, your handle w/o the thumb is like solo w/o chewie…
fuck yeah!
I hope he offers you a can of RedBull before the canoodling … gives you wings
Jules too far that limp dick way maybe? Needs more cunt in him (?)
You never know what exotic South American delicacies you might discover with Dora the Explorer …..
Ain’t my club but it’s my town. Though Julian is honorary Novocastrian now too.
Also have both in fantasy.
I think, Yago
Next time I’m paddling out on a sizeable day and a duckdive goes horridly, or riddenly as it may be getting sucked back over the falls, I will surface triumphantly, pleased that later session bragging can include a scoring ride, which is the whole .4 bragging to begin with.
Go Caio!!
He is currently 3rd in the Injury wildcard of the Year race and sadly will never get one of those nice provisional Olympic Qualifying Tapestries …. I would be for him if he comes up against Kolohe though .
I love how the intro completely disregard mentioning him among the contenders still running haha…
I just want him to beat Medina. I am a hater.
Black Friday …. what were we expecting ….. Big Wednesday ? 14th Dec were great days for Parko in 2012 and Fanning in 2013 ….
Looks a bit wild and wooly on the cam
I wonder if BL will be back In the broadcast or if the pogroms have been set in motion
Stand by
The camera just zoomed in on footprints in the sand – I am thinking of that inspirational quote about being carried by god when there are only one set of footprints – who will God carry today
Whats the deal anyone know if it’s looking to run today (Friday)?

Sun’s just coming up. Still looks big
thanks, I reckon they will go on hold until 9, then again until 11. then come back for another call at 1.30 before deciding to throw the towel in.
couldn’t quite see on the cam if strider is waiting patiently on the beach like he was yesterday.
No Stridez visible, it was kinda panned down towards sunset when I looked. But yeah I reckon they’ll put it on hold but if the swell is dropping, could be a crazy 2nd reefy bloodbath!
You are clueless.
Ok maybe just 75% clueless. On hold till 10 local time
Ok I’m clueless. You are Nostradamus I bow down in shame.
Don’t Phuck with the Prophet Phat-wan ……..You May become tired of losing ?
I didn’t factor in this nasty short period northeast windswell thing. Basing my projection off buoy 1 11’ at 15 seconds and what appeared to be straight East trades.
I suck and hereby bow down to phat boi.
Don’t be too hard on yourself .
When will the waves be good ? When they are .
no need, I am off by an hour.
Great strategy for increasing web traffic, even if the WSL aren’t smart enough to do that intentionally.
