Is watching pro surfing like being hit with an outsize sledgehammer or more a succession of sharp stabbing pains?
So many things to watch for today, and comment upon, including Kelly Slater on the ropes and facing a further fall down the ratings, his elimination heat likely late in the day, Filipe Toledo in his element, will John John demonstrate any interest in the wind-blown runners and will BIPOC Zeke Lau monster his North Shore neighbour like he did at Bells in 2018.
For a reminder of that wonderful episode, read, “Florence’s insides ripped out by a hyena!” here.

Yep. When the USSR ceased to exist NATO should have been disbanded as there’s no need for it. It’s absolutely true that if that had happened, what is going on now would not have happened.
It’s on!
Western European Time is 6 hours ahead of Central Time
I choose Linda Lovelace as my hero female athelete.
Jack Matlock was from the Reagan administration. Not exactly a dove on Russia or in general.
He’s no Jonah!
Let’s not forget that Ukraine aint entirely on the up and up.
This is a case of the Ukrainians being the least worst option.
The pic above looks like a missile about to hit a Ukrainian building of some note.
Main takeaway for me so far? I miss Makua Rothman.
Also Kelly’s 7 pointer to open his elimination heat. That was sick.
And how about rd 32 match ups? Jordy v Baron could be a doozy if it is barreling. Filipe v Owen? Ethan v Nat. Seth v Jacko Baker could be epic. Griffin v Jadson could be a grinder.
And how about Kelly v the giant killer Caio Ibelli? One to watch fa shore ( said in irritating Aussie accent )
Post Show ?
I don’t think so.
Will the Aussies take tomorrow off in memory of Shane warne?
Wait. Really ?
Edit. Warney and Marsh in a week. Whoa
Yep. Down in a blaze of glory. Hotel room in Thailand.
Rock n Roll!!!
In his Villa, prob on the Thai Testosterone
With a midget tranny, I hope.
On same day …
Shut down the country, we need to sink some piss!
Would be some good spin in that
every-time a brazzo is eliminated, an angel gets its wings
Where’s Laura Enever? Her sleepy tones are the sexiest thing in
surfing
She blew away in her XXXXL button up shirt
She is pro up the road paddling in at Nazarre
Why don’t they refer to him as R. Cali?
drop down get your eagle on…ohh i miss wilko
Because he likes women of legal age?
riddle me this… can a WSL announcer say “finish” with out saying “big finish”
That’s a big “NO”.
Evidently, you didn’t take “Superlatives 101”
PS – there is no further coursework, 201, 301. Just repeat the same words over and over, but with lots of feeling.
I’ll put in a good word with Renato for you. But he does want some more decimal points next time.
errr…the tide is always adjusting in the lineup
maybe the next social justice cause for the WSL #stopthetides!
I’m surprised they haven’t jumped on the Russia/Ukraine train with #stoptheredtide
They are obviously pro-Russia if they haven’t issued a statement yet. Silence is violence and all (it’s true because it rhymes).
Have we banned the “Hunt for Red October?”
Between the Rooskies and Alec Baldwin slaughtering colleagues that movie is BAD LUCK.
I don’t if you’ve noticed, but there’s been. A sudden uptick in Russia related movies. Hunt for Red October, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, The Bourne Supremacy, RED…are all being played. Broadcasters sure like to capitalize on current events.
Like how they played “Outbreak” non-stop when The ‘Rona started?
Exactly…ain’t that somethin’!
Technically there is a period of slack tide…but that is usually when the fish stop biting and you can have a snack.
I’m no fisherman. Closest I get is Primus John the Fisherman.

My hard core striped bass fishing days are behind me but that is still stuck with me.
How come Zeke isn’t listed in Round of 32? Did he get injured?
Hope Justin beats Kanoa.
He’s in heat 10 against Frederico Morais.
i want whatever he has been smoking
Moroccan hash. The good stuff
shantaram!!
RCals? If so, you ought to be sitting in the tower.
