Australia!
Professional surfing, oh my goodness, wild and wooly etc. So much hot action, so many hot takes, all in the knee deep cool of waist-high Narrabeen.
The best, maybe, from thruster inventor Simon Anderson and door buster Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew.
That duo scared voice of professional surfing Joe Turpel more than the possibility of a shark eating 3x champion Mick Fanning live on camera.
Wisdom etc.
Longtom’s much-anticipated wrap soon, but in the meantime, your event winners are Caroline Marks, for the women, and Gabriel Medina, for the men.
Both looking positively dominant, Caroline over Tati, Gabriel over Connor.
Most beautiful peacock…” as Mick Fanning breathlessly gushed whilst speaking of Medina earlier in the day.
“Peafowl” he would have said had he been in the booth for Caroline Marks.
Thrilling.

well said!
better than longtom’s write up!
Anyone notice Caroline showing flag shame while sarcastically mumbling ‘murica”on her chair up the beach?
Patriotism becomes a dirty word when your country openly celebrates far right nationalism
But we were promised, in the last 2 events, that banting would go far, and micks un retirement would be thrilling.
Wilson and Freestone need to get some bloody mongrel in them
Ha, like mikey Wright?
It’s over for the soft aussie
The judging is unpredictable at best.
Why don’t they just run a comp but add up every surfers wave score to decide the world champ?
At worst it would encouraged the pros to break out of there safety surfing mode.
cue chairs flying in maresias…
Gabby looks at waves
The way a cheetah looks at
A baby gazelle
the flats
italo lands in
sound familiar
Youd straight jump back if you ran into tati in a dark alley..
Like fuk its Russ Bierke can u sign my receding hairline?
Gabby twisting the knife in his mum and Charlie’s back there on the stage at prize giving
Lovely.
I heard that too.
awwww shit, did he?
Joes fingers imagining gripping gabbys shaft
The women might be paid twice as much as the men these days due to the lesser numbers of heats they surf in and the obvious skill level difference.
But the men’s surfboard trophy is bigger.
P.S.
Not an anti-female identifying gender thing, just an observation…
Cosmetics are exy
Not to mention the fashion
Conner is Mr Tumnus
Fuk she looks like she got short changed on the 24 piece nug pack at maccas…
Well Conner did a great, great job in the final in a tough man on man duel, and with a lot of effort, and hard work, he still got the second place.
Only Kanoa would achieve something close!
That earring should reduce at least (5) scored surfing points. Quit lying to the guy!
It’s actually ‘Peahen’ sorry Chas. Peafowl describes both cocks and hens.
Very tasty and suitable to be cooked many ways. Hens plumper and juicer than cocks.
They’d be particularly nice in a warm salad at a hippy book signing if you served it in a handcarved indigenous bowl while you wore a tan widebrimmed hat and linens, and didn’t tell them what it was.
P.S.
What sort of footwear is popular for men at those events (asking for a friend).
P.P.S.
Have ya given the fund cash to Caio yet ?
dogecoin
Dodgy…
Yes Caio was rewarded with a rapid guest in one of the next two movies, by his choice, Yogy Bear and Boo-Boo Bear, or Goldilocks and The Three Bears.
Of course the two characters at his disposal to choose are Boo-Boo Bear, or The Small Bear.
These grown Brazilian men dancing and chanting like freshman basketball cheerleaders give me douche bumps.
Its embarrassing for the Brazzos.
Nah, that’s just you being unable to understand different cultures.
Fowl cock.
Gabby wrapped it by the half way mark. True to his word, he is just surfing more.
