Can your heart handle more?
Yesterday was quite a day, as far as professional surfing goes, and wow. How are your nerves? How is your bank account (read about JP Currie’s here)? Mine is $3000 lighter as I was ingloriously kicked out of Surfival League whilst riding John John Florence. I suppose not officially $3000, as we are not close to the end of the season and I have never won anything in my life, but man.
John John Florence losing to Jake Marshall, Kelly Slater, who is occasionally called the Greatest of All-Time, shortened to GOAT for expediency, interfering?
Quite a day indeed. Well, no rest for the wickedly entertaining.

Why does Joel always look jaundiced? Bro we’re the same age but I think maybe you’re my grandpa. Maybe a little meat in the diet might be beneficial???
Please no longboarding at the finals. So boring
Just curious, is women’s pro surfing comparable to watching women’s basketball?
All four semifinalists from the islands. (Brisa grew up on Oahu)
Best things about this format is you can pretty much finish the chicks in a day. Surfing has been okay, enjoying seeing the top girls lose, but multiple days of this would put me to sleep
I surfed next to Yadin a month later…. “You were falling from the sky and knifing take offs while Mick just rolled in”
Dude just smiled, happy as can be.
Makua bringing the bling
Last year, the Vet handed her to me and said “Enjoy the weekend”… Kidney failure, wanted to do DIalysis.
I took her to the beach and swam with her. You know what LGR, she forgot she was sick and began playing. She wasn’t back to her old self, but she was alive and ate her first meal in days.
You know that saying, Take care of your surfing and surfing will take care of you?
Well, it works for Cooper. She loves to swim.
Laura….The worst licking of her life…Hennessy
LOL
She didn’t swim and it took us an hour to go 3 blocks to the beach. I love her so much LGR, she’s teaching me patience. Asleep at my feet now after a steak dinner. Thanks for asking, this last year has been so trying.
DId you ever think the roll ins would be glamorized?
Old girl? I’m only 2 heats back in.
Anyone catch that last commercial plug by Turpel? Running through all the spono’s “yadayada, official yadayada partner of the WSL” then the 805 beer ad “and by 805 beer, proud partner of Connor Coffin” lol what the fuck…
I only buy Connor coffin endorsed beverages.
“We got to do good surfing”
School matters kids.
It’s as if they aren’t looking up the reef, content on the end section.
They look like murfers dropping in on the end section at rainbow bay
Oh my god just fucking paddle 50m deeper. PLEASE!
For fucking fuck sakes
They’re sitting on the channel missing 50 yards at the peak.
first rounds were shameful tho…
