Comment Live: The cbdMD Jaws Big Wave Championships!

Mayhem! Madness!

First Teahupoo is declared host of the surfing program for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Then Pipeline is putting on an altogether glorious show. Now we have the cbdMD Jaws Big Wave Championships.

Is there a better time to be a professional surf fan?

Regarding the cbdMD Jaws Big Wave Championships, as you know, the format is all different now for that big wave “tour.” There is a paddle event (Jaws) a tow event (Naz) and a selfie event (Mavs). Altogether they make up the Big Wave… something. Tour? Seems a little much to call a “tour.”

This Jaws one, anyhow, is called Big Wave Championships but why is it Championships instead of Championship?

Can you explain?

There are, in any case, heats with many surfers in the water at a time.

As always, watch here.

Comment below.

Enjoy!

It’s like some surfers can’t wait for the swell to die off so they can get back in the water . For Kilgore War and Chaos is a ladder which he joyfully climbs while for others it’s a snake leading them straight to Hell , even the successful ones who went to far like Mr Kurtz

Of course like surfing , pro surfing is totally pointless …. and in an absurd universe so is absolutely fucking everything ?

We need to get over the fact that men and women are allowed to compete differently. The ladies have a long way to come until they justify being paid to compete at that event. It would be like me copy and pasting your writing and claiming I’m also a journalist and deserve to be paid for my work.
Why don’t we show class the women for what they are instead of trying to compare them to the men ?
Hell I would pay to watch a bunch of the ladies rip a fun right hand point break in bikinis ! How good would it be watching Steph rip Sri Lanka on a bunch of twins.

I haven’t watched a stitch of it.

I’ll just get the mental image of the event via the poetry exhibited within this comments board.

If I was one of the men on the Big Wave Tour I would be going after the WSL for unfair pay. Today was a disgrace by the women. You can not do 1/10 of the work and expect the same among of pay. Yes it is technically the same job but unless you actually turn up for work you don’t deserve any money.
The disparity between men and women’s surfing is getting bigger every year.
The WSL needs to cut them loose and stop trying to promote equal skills

They just need their own comp somewhere else in waves half the size
It’ll still be big, but rideable for their skill level…(and being paid accordingly)

No need to be foolish now, I was quoting a top female professional, unless the wsl destroyed all copies it should be around somewhere.
Whar we’re talking about is equal pay for unequal quantity and quality of performance.
The way it’s been set up for the last year, the men are getting majorly ripped off….

Doesn’t really matter what you write. Idiocy is idiocy. Ignorance is ignorance. Stupidity is stupidity. Paranoia is paranoia. If what I posted is pure nonsense then why concern yourself with it? If I wrote “the Earth is flat” and “there are UFOs”, would you care? You care about what I post because you fear it might be true. Since you are psychologically inclined to engage in censorship of free speech, you are Totalitarian. You do not believe in freedom.

Nazi flags are banned in Germany for a reason. Do you think that anybody in Germany should be able to put a swastika flag on their house?

True Story: The CO2 in the little bottles is taken from the atmosphere. Taken out…then put back. It’s not “new” or “produced” CO2. It contributes zero unless you take into account the energy used to take it from the atmosphere and out it in the little bottle.

Unlike new CO2 that’s produced when you burn carbon, or heat up the ocean.

This comment thread is populated by the fantastically retarded…

You are obviously an ENEMY OF THE OCEAN!!! You give us no proof that it is not “produced”, and just “taken”. You could be a global CO2 dealer just trying to whitewash the facts and spread propaganda about how benevolent these seeming harmless little bottles of CO2 are. We are not so easily fooled.

Definitely a CO2 dealer! Probably has one of those pot farms with CO2 enrichment and sells CO2 to restaurants and bars for their soda machine. I’m sickened by this whole thing!!!!

You are too kind Scott. But I think you are totally underestimating this guy. My spider sense tells me he is far more sinister than the global CO2 dealer as I initially suspected. Possibly a Washington DC lobbyist for the CO2 industry? Or…a major manufacturer of impure Chinese CO2 trying to muscle into the global supply game with cut rate prices? Like a modern day Pablo Escobar of CO2, but with a far inferior product.
And why would he say that this website was populated by a bunch of total retards?? Hahah!

If they really cared about the environment they would keep the CO2 in their neat little bottles instead of releasing it again. It’s like letting Hannibal Lector or Jeffrey Dahmer or Richard Ramirez go free after you’ve caged them. It brings up the question of why aren’t we building prisons for Co2? Maybe we could build a pipe that simply dumps it into outer space?

Yes, isn’t CO2 a total menace to the future of humanity? And to Gaia herself??? So why is this stuff still legal? It needs to be BANNED! Like Tipper Gore and her censorship of music, I shall make this my personal crusade. If me and Dog the Bounty Hunter can’t have CFC’s in our Aquanet hairspray anymore for our glorious mullets, they can’t have bubbles anymore in their Pepsi! Or beer! Let alone flotation vests!
Until they build this pipe into space, they shall suffer for other people’s CO2 sins. By the way, congratulations on solving the global warming problem, Scotty. This idea is genius and there is no reason why we can’t have a giant pipe pumping all this evil CO2 straight into space. Let’s just go one step further and aim it straight at the sun. So next time somebody mentions global warming, just let them know that you have personally solved it, but some Illuminati conspiracy just won’t let such an easy solution be implemented.

Thanks for your support! This is a work in progress, Im currently running computer models to determine if the shortest path would be straight up into the sky and puncture the dome or drill deep enough to puncture through the earth and flush it down into the outer space under the flat earth. The danger would be leaking all the oxygen we breathe through the CO2 drain pipe so a check valve might be necessary. These are all details that can be figured out as we go.
A giant exhaust fan in the outer dome with CO2 separators might be another otpion.

What I watched: I was embarrassed for the women. If anything, it was like the WSL was showcasing how much they suck. Like a passive-aggressive fuck you for crying about the pay disparity.

But I’m not the one who was screaming for equal pay for poorer performance. You demanded the pay, now fucking earn it.

What’s wrong with me… It was so enjoyable to watch the women go over the falls when they continually misjudged sections and when they missed the ski (why no women on jetskis? ) Guess I don’t feel like they’ve earned the pay… Like when someone at work gets a promotion they should not.
