Open Thread: Comment live on Day 3 of Rip Curl Newcastle Cup presented by Corona!

Ultimate Surfers!

I think we are now, officially, into the round of 32 for men and 16 for the women. Many days on and where each professional surfing contest should start take or take a handful of men and women.

Exciting.

Gabriel Medina vs. Connor O’Leary will kick off the action.

Connor O’Leary is sporting both Japanese and Australian patches on his singlet.

Heat 12 will be the best, featuring The People’s™ surfer Caio Ibelli.

He has won our hearts but will he win D. Silva’s scalp?

Come for the chit.

Stay for the chat.

Take aways. Clutch. Journey man. Morgan is sucking off the judges but deserved the win.

Reposting stuff from people who think he was robbed, Julia telling people to watch the heat and “make their own assumptions”, petty stuff like that… Whinning, basically.

MS sez 4-6, and I think they mean faces these days. It’s hard to tell since they fucked up their units.

Have you seen the forecast for Vic? It’s going to be absolutely massive Sunday. From South Australia to Tassie it’s just one big purple blob, and the purple is 20m.

If Pip makes the final 5 it will be his best chance of winning a title by far.

best or only? If they were to hold the final day scenario in throaty barreling lefts like originally planned he’d be screwed.

These guys are blowing so much smoke up Toledo’s arse here. Guy sat on the couch for the year and they’re discussing it as a tactical masterstroke.

Took off to plant trees with my daughter mid way through the Italo heat… and I return to this!
Against all odds it looks like it’s got worse…

Think people are mainly watching the comments with half an eye on the ‘action’ for something noteworthy to take the piss about… at least that’s been my approach.
