A day that might live in infamy!
And it is here, our Super Bowl, our Wimbledon, our World Cup, Ashes, WNBA Finals. Our Pipe Masters. You know the storylines, the tension, drama, the stacked top of the World Surf League Championship Tour rankings where only 8000 points separate first from fifth. You know that Italo is clinging to the top spot followed by Gabe, Jordy, Filipe and Kolohe. Theoretically anyone’s game.
No?
And although no one will pack his bags today and head to Honolulu then home, we will learn many things. We will sense truths. We must discuss live.
Kolohe Andino surfs in heat 2. Filipe in heat 3, Michael Jordan Smith in heat 4, Gabe in heat 5 and Italo in heat 6.
Is that everyone?
No.
It is not for we also have a hot Olympic race on our hands. Kelly Slater vs. John John Florence for that final spot on the U.S. National Surfing Team in memory of Kolohe Andino.
John John surfs in heat 8. Kelly in heat 10.
Tell your boss to bug off… it’s time for professional surfing with friends!

Biking is fun when you put playing cards in your spokes and it sounds like a motorcycle ! Do an article on that !!
They re-seeded the draw to separate Gabriel & Italo. Gabriel has JJF on his side of the draw. Italo has Owen & Kelly.
Chas reckons surf journos not be paid except him and Derek
Remember.
Right except for the me and Derek part!

Let 2020 be M-Roid free!
M-Rod was certainly disappointing; never lived up to expectations.

JJF vs Ezekiel Lau

Did Wade sign with Rusty and nobody said anything?
I did .
Take that, açai boy !
Hahaha. Denied. Karma is real.
I hope Tanner is on the beach to let him know.
“I think he’s got what it takes” is the equivalent of “we have full confidence in him” aka a death knell
I just don’t get why they made them all members of the family Tile Teeth from San Clemente.
Easy strategy, wade: don’t go left
