Maybe it is a product of growing lightly older, but professional surfing treating its contest structure and format as holy annoys more and more and most when Da Hui decides to push their scoring scale right up to 11.
Because why not?
Is 10 meaningful other than being whole and round? Oh don’t get me wrong, it is a fine number and I have nothing against it, personally, but should it cap the
10s are not entirely common but one or two, sometimes more, are generally given out per contest. Many multiples have been given out over the decades but some are certainly better than others, no?
Let’s examine.
Yes many are better than others and the judges should be able to reward accordingly. Eddie Rothman knows this and cranked Da Hui up to 11 setting a precedent that World Surf League CEO Erik Logan should follow. He should also dash the 30 minute heat with 2 surfers in the water, bracket, etc. on the rocks.
Give surfing free.
David Lee Scales and I discussed this, on today’s podcast, and I also defended Kelly Slater.
What a legendary day.

DLS’ smug obsession with fatherhood, his perfect domestic situation and the many amazing personal revelations he rams down our throats on the way to becoming an uncommitted surfer are becoming unlistenable. Chas give him some shit next week please.
I prefer….It is time for WSL CEO Erik Logan to step down.
From the depths of the ‘who’d give a fuck’ files, i believe straight 10’s across the judging panel dropped instantly after the ride should be rewarded differently than those 10s that take longer to decide, require video replays, etc. Kind of real 10 vs fake 10 . And everyone knows a 10 when they see it.
Is there anything on Stab worthwhile
Eric Logan and Fast Eddie Rotham– this is what surfing has sunk to?
Snatch is phenomenal, I wanted to hate this movie so much because of Pitt and he goes and snatched (see what I did there) one of the best roles ever, crazy accent and all.
E-Lo could turn to stone. I’d settle for that.
Or E-Lo’s own favourite namesake band… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Girl talk.
1-10 is an easy scoring system that everyone can get behind. I give this idea a 1.33

I don’t have much going on today
Uunnnggghh – top score in da shootout can be 12, Chas.
The scoring is actually 0 to 1000.
9.99 beats 9.98.
The decimal point is irrelevant
Wouldn’t it be 0-100, judges don’t score to 2 dec places, do they?
