Made not born.
Our attention has been so gloriously pulled back to professional surfing, following a fatal shark attack cancelation of the Roxy Pro, in Honolua, and World Surf League CEO Erik Logan’s positive Covid-19 result cancelling the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons presented by Hydro Flask.
The whole works.
Surfvival, open threads, artisanal Longtom wraps but there are other heroes in our world like the yet-to-be-named Gold Coast woman who risked life and limb as two beer kegs threatened to make an oceanic getaway from a surf club in Currumbin, Australia.
My goodness.
If there is not a Sound Waves detailing every harrowing second of this incident then what is World Surf League CEO Erik Logan even doing (besides self-isolating and monitoring his light symptoms)?
Heroes are made, not born, or so they say and Plump Pip should well understand but in case he doesn’t (see above video).
What are your feelings, speaking of, on the women hitting Pipe not tomorrow but the next day when a fine swell hits those famed reefs?
I’m entirely optimistic that we are going to be served the best show yet. Steph Gilmore stalling through Backdoor bombs. ‘Ris Moore seeing and raising. The Mother of Dragons doubling down.
But let’s not forget the beer kegs.
Bravo.

Yep, a full keg won’t float.
It must be some damned good beer.. or maybe that’s their sanity compressed nicely within those kegs, regardless of the quality. People protect their investments. Kudos to the Sheila!
phat could be in love. I wonder how she is on the pots?
Feel good story of the year!!!!
Are any of the gals also now fat and would they be interested in meeting Pip at in n out burger for dinner?
Just gettin kegged on the Goldie ayyyyyeeeeeee
I don’t recommend
This course of action often
But she’s a keeper
That video was probably 100x more entertaining than the women will be at Pipe. And that video was pretty meh.
I’m bullish. No way Gil gonna not perform. She’s a star.
Tatiana will smoke them all if it has any size
I stand corrected. Not all of them but as a whole I foresee disappointment.
My money is on Sally. She’s been charging some slabs in recent years, and her tube riding has been a notch above the others over the past few seasons whenever they’ve had the change to show it (Mostly at Keramas & Honolua). I think she even paddled out for the freesurfs at the Box on occasion. And remember when she won Fiji with her head taped together?
Jack Freestone doubling down on what? Dr. Seuss? I think Billabong’s trying to get him to help Griff make his way through The Butter Battle Book for marketing purposes. Since Griff is pre-verbal and can’t exactly sight read, Jack is having to read it to him, which is taking awhile longer than expected because he has to sound everything out and follow along with his finger, which partially blocks the words.
If you want a computer-generated voice, but are obligated by union rules to hire a human, get this guy.
They’ve already got turpel….
Had to be XXXX for this kind of action from a Queenslander.
Pretty sure it would be in the middle of the Pacific if it was Carlton.
Finally, a true hero emerges in this cursed year
Damn I thought that flotsam washing around was Darren Handley round 2
haha, I saw that DH cameo, looks like he got the hang of that thing finally
