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.
That drives me absolutely insane.
Robbo is bad at losing. Lots of shade on his & the Mrs Instagrams
Please tell more. Shade and stuff.
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.
fuck tennis
Sounds interesting. Please tell more.
I enjoyed the moment, also.
Saturday, eight to twelve feet! https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Does anyone speak Surfline? Is that three feet in real life?
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.
Andino no chance this year – out injured
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.
Yep – so best to date
Quite right
throaty lefts = no chance !
Pip vs Italo would be fun to watch
Pip rips.
Dimity been hanging out at the pie shop with Jesse MD
Pip’s ripping
he loves this sized wave
Love how Luke calls him ‘Philip’
Leo is the worst pro to surf with.
why? Greedy?
constant snaking, total menace.
Grim.
Did you have words?
yes. I said “don’t bother, I got this one”
Good line. I lose ninety percent of my already diminished IQ whenever there’s any sorta dispute.
And 10 minutes later you think of the perfect comeback!
Two weeks later I’m searching the lineup!
polite delivery. instructive to see how he gets his wave count. just tests every person in the lineup.
Tom Carroll says hi!
Looks like it’s gonna be pumping the day after the contest is over.
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.
Dora the Explora!
Get’m Yago!
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…
Been hiding from my boss for a few hours. What did I miss here?
A dozen people saying they hate watching something they can’t stop watching.
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.
That’s probly it.
Sport, by its very nature, is love and hate.
True dat
