A touch of thrill in the air!
Hours ago, the World Surf League issued a “yellow alert” for its inaugural final’s day there in the shadow of a decommissioned nuclear power plant.
“Yellow” apparently meaning a “probable start within 24 hours.”
Commissioner Jessi Miley-Cyrus delivered the news whilst standing on Lower Trestles’ famous cobbled stone.
As you can see she is wearing a nice hat not entirely dissimilar to the one worn by Curious George’s deuteragonist.
Did you know “The Man in the Yellow Hat’s” real name is Ted Shackleford?
I didn’t but it stands to reason. Very “explore-ish.”
In any case, why the World Surf League has turned to color coding is not entirely clear and I can’t imagine that answers will be forthcoming.
Filipe Toledo has still not be seen after last week’s “huge scuffle.”
Do you think he will muster the courage to paddle out for his heat or do you think he will be too worried that the hot, young sponsored junior is hiding in the bushes off the bike path ready to pounce?
Exciting, in any case.
I guess it’s tomorrow. The Disappointening will have to wait!
That Jesse bloke seems enthusiastic at least , regardless of his hat…
Rainbow hats and glasses….chartreuse..Rainbow spew!

She’s probably right about no one knowing this song, considering her audience but she doesn’t even come close to Elizabeth Fraser. Some tunes should be left alone. My apologies to any Cocteau fans.
Onshore is the new offshore. Every VAL knows that
Oh man, that could be more exciting than the entire contest! All these yellow hat/beanie aficionados might make it hard to distinguish who’s who but I will do my best to capture any Chas-Ashton incidents. Or blow the cover off it all- could it be they are actually best bros forever and trying to drum up interest?
I’ve got to bleach my eyes now. What in the f does that hippo have to do with surfing?
Yellow hat. Yellow beanie.
Definitely not easy on the eye, and may be quite comedic in organisational skills and decision making, but a recreational fish riding bicycle ‘writer’ would be waaay down the ranks of potential candidates surely, very unsuitable to the task, and shouldn’t even be on these pages…

i see what you did there
Who are they issuing an amber alert for?
Not quite sure what you’re saying. Have you tried this site called Surfline?
More like: ‘First & Final Finals Day’. First and last time you’ll ever see this format. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
My favourite Rolling Stones guitar riff!
I’m probably going to miss this due to the time difference here in NZ and fuck it, i will be spewing. Didn’t think I’d care, but then all the fucked calls, stupid PR, infighting and all the other daft shit that was this years WSL, would be all for naught.
If you or any mates have MySky, (it’s on SkySport pop-up 1) you can record it and then watch at your leisure over a breakfast beer and beef-based BBQ…
will watch the replay if poss, the chances of me not seeing who won before i hit play are next to zero though i reckon! what beef dish best pairs with a wsl finals day i wonder?
Yes keeping away from the results before watching delayed coverage of any sport is always a bit tricky.
Not turning on ya phone or computer before going straight to SkySport is the only way I’ve found that works in our part of the world.
Considering that three of the five finalists are Brazilian, the best way is probably a straight up charcoal BBQ (Churrasco in their lingo) with the meats grilled medium rare over the coals.
Some marinated with spicy sauce and some plain is good, for a nice tase contrast.
A few grilled chicken pieces, pork and vege too, but not much, let the charcoal beef take center stage…
The top sirloin cap is also known as picanha (pronounced “pee-KAHN-ya”)

I have had many Brazzo flatmates, can confirm, delicious.

Where’s Connor?
Didn’t wanna stick around after losing in the first round at his home break
Loved the National Geographic-esque touch on the frame of the main image.
What kind of animal is that?
The ‘Greater-Beaked Chubby Cyrus Duck’.
A common squinty-eyed flightless waterfowl native to Australia, known for its love of meat pies and lamingtons…
Don’t know why, but reading this brought Ornithorhynchus anatinus to mind.
At first glance I thought Sloth but not sure you find those in California.
Folivora Californiana!
That shits like speed – love it
Filipe last seen at tennis store buying a racquet ala Bugs
Strange. Given that he was developing the physique of a baseball player.
So we can expect Slater’s announcement that he’s opening a new wave pool / having a baby / running for president in around 24 hours then?
Best prediction ever.. Im counting on all three.
Parko is gone…Slater is no longer interested in upstaging him.
