Serenity now.
Well here we are. The Corona Open J-Bay is now but a few ticks of the minute hand away featuring a swell forecast not even Surfline can mangle. It is going to be good, clean, gorgeous. Head high to lightly overhead on opening day filling in toward double overhead by week’s end. “Pumping” Surfline says and oh how beleaguered professional surf fans need this for our very souls. The last four, maybe five events have featured less-than-ideal conditions and/or less-than-ideal venues but here we are.
Perfect place.
Perfect time.
Except for one small detail
THE WORLD SURF LEAGUE’S SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF COMPETITION, HEAD OF TOURS, IS NOT THERE!
Ok. I don’t want you to freak out but I’M freaking out and BIGLY. Without Jessi Miley-Dyer there on J-Bay’s sand sussing the conditions, gathering information, making an informed call, the Corona Open J-Bay will not be able to run and lackluster professional surfing will continue to haunt our sleepless nights and…
Ok, ok, ok.
Serenity now.
Serenity now.
Miley-Dyer worried surf fans, days ago, by vowing to never leave Brazil. Yesterday she further roiled them by, per her promise, remaining poolside enjoying what appeared to be a lemon drop and or bespoke caipirinha. Hours ago she added to what has become hysteria by posting a loving video of Copacabana at sunset.
Or maybe it’s not Copacabana. Maybe it’s J-Bay. Maybe she’s already there.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
That’s J-Bay, right?
Everything is going to be fine.

Burkhart cheats😉
IceTea?
Hopefully she’s been fired for her demonic comments in support of legalized fetal infanticide.
Sunset at Ipanema, Jaz… Ipanema!!!
There used to be a rule where the Commissioner would have to sit out an event, probably still in place.
Anyway, Trav Logie has this place dialled and looking forward to his called
as if the event couldn’t be successfully run without that troll

The ongoing feminization (which includes soy boys like Cote) of the WSL has proven disastrous. Like the catastrophic 19th Amendment, the experiment has failed. Men must again seize control.
If Chris Cote was the man at Trans world Surf, and he was, is it possible that Chris transitioned to a man? Was that the meaning behind the magazine’s name? The first example of a sex change that did not lead to athletic glory?
😂🤣😅
BG ballot…Cote is not on it~

Better question is who is reading jmd Instagram posts ? Jeeze
ive stopped hyperventilating into a paper bag and realised that the job entails looking at the water and if it is over 3ft in German legs and not onshore – sending the women out first and then deciding from there
No wonder she needs a massive holiday it must be super stressful gig
Is Tw(r)ight gunna drop a knee on apartheidThompsons front lawn.
My hysteria has suddenly and shockingly given way to slight sadnessly-tinged apathy. Yet again. You can’t script the WSL (unless you write for the Inertia) and you cannot at all script my anti-anti-depressive apathy
Surfline has promised “pumping” surf for every event so far, and its been less than pumping in each of the events minus Margs
let’s let alex lifson of rush comment…begin at 4:18 minutes mark…
and here’s the chorus…
disqus needs a go fund me, joint’s broken
(to the tune of the Barry Manilow hit)
Her name is Jessi, she was SVP
But that was many calls ago, when she used to run the show
Now it’s in J-Bay, but she’s in Rio
Still in the mumu that she wears
Also didn’t brush her hair
She lies there unrefined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her girl and lost her job
Now she’s lost her mind
At the copa, Copacabana…
How’s your Hops n Hooters scenario my NZ brother??? Hope all’s well
We fell in love!
Just taking a break from my pure hysteria to make a nice cup of tea.
Pour some sugar in thee
Im a PG tips man myself, you?
Poppy tea
It puts the hysteria to bed.
Ooooh Daaad, do you know the pianos on my foot ?
…”You hum it son, I’ll play it”…
Bill Shakespeare has entered the chat
I’ll take a Moroccan mint varietal to ease mine ownst angst over this fucking absolute hysterical scenario
Allow me to pour Micheal.
The judges may be in a state of panic if they haven’t got the mistress of ceremonies not tipping them the wink who to give the green light to in a tight finish. Or maybe they will get it right for once without that interference so to speak.
Why would any surfer choose to be in Copocobana over Jeffreys Bay. Could have got a few sessions at least in before the comp instead of …drinking by a pool?
She’s just a girl that wants to be loved. 🙂
