Roman Catholic Pupo thanked God and told of a gruelling training regime, which included workouts in a gymnasium.
The Brazilian journeyman Miguel Pupo, a surfer who has long struggled to keep his place on the world tour, has done what Kelly Slater couldn’t do, defeat the “unbeatable” local wildcard Kauli Vaast to win the Outerknown Tahiti Pro.
In a dying, but still significant swell, Pupo delivered what surfing hall-of-famer Peter Mel described as a “tuberiding clinic”.
“Take note kids,” said the storied big-wave surfer from Santa Cruz.
Roman Catholic Pupo thanked God, said he’d been waiting ten years for his first tour win and told of a gruelling training regime, which included workouts in a gymnasium.
Until meeting Pupo in the final, Vaast, who is twenty, was untroubled throughout the event, beating world title contender Ethan Ewing twice, and humiliating five-time Tahiti Pro winner and greatest surfer of all time, Kelly Slater, in a wildly one-sided semi final.
As Chas Smith wrote earlier, “There were turns, switch stances, “hula hooping” in what Peter Mel described as “the best surfing” he’s “ever seen done in Tahiti. Zero by Slater. Only by Vaast.
The final was a remarkably subdued affair and had to be restarted after no waves were paddled for in the first ten minutes.
Despite everything, Pupo was calm, delivered a nine and an eight, and won the final relatively easily, expressing a complex subtle nature like that of a real aristocrat.
Full story soon-ish.
Slater did ask them to wait an hour or so before starting his heat because lack of waves, but no dice. Did you notice the surf came on right after Slaters heat. So if they would have waited Slater could have been in the Finals and possibly won🤔
The over commenting, geewizz!

About MacGillivray…he loves it steep and deep, over, under, sideways and down!
I’m done for the year, from 200.00 investment to 5300.00 at the end. An extra 1300.00 if Robbo gets up à les trestle’s event. Coulda been more, the bookies have deemed me a winner and my amounts on the punt have been limited.
Cunts.
Onya Nuts. That’s a fucken good Indo trip right there.
France though. I’m over Indo. Thanks! I felt I really stuck it to the man.
Well played! Congrats!
Thanks! My gambling days are over.
well played. bookies stopped letting me put on multis after sunset. opening rounds in poor conditions are much less interesting when you have nothing on the line. still finished up, not quite as up as you.
Cheers mate. The mutts are quite happy to take your money but don’t want to play the game.
Fuckin hell, you make more money out of surfing than the wsl! Well done
This is a profound comment. Well played.
That is good. What’s the bulk of it from?
1600.00 from Moana, so I had some play money for the year but I kept winning. It got to 900.00 at one stage so I put it all on Griff and some other cunt to win their semis after backing the roughies all event to no avail, that was a good win. Then 2000.00 for Labor to win the election with a majority at 1.60. That result took weeks to come in. The account dropped back to 3000.00 after I put all my silly Chopes bets on. Had a few wins during that, they didn’t offer me cash out on Kauli at 41.1 so I went to bet heavily on Miggy only to find they began limiting my amounts. All in all it was a fun year. Don’t think I’ll be punting much in the future. The jig is up.
Good work, man.
That picture 🏳️🌈! You guys !
How rubbish were the trophies after all they went through. Show some imagination OK. Pathetic. Un-original.
Wsl can’t afford anything decent.
Ask the local Parker family.
totally agree, they looked like Kmart skateboards from 1975, but even lamer
lifetime supply of fiji water…
But apparently one ‘can surf them’ according to ELo’s insistence.
I watched every wave yesterday while “working”. It was great. I had the opportunity to do it again today, but with such a let down in swell — couldn’t bring myself to watch more than a few minutes. It’s time to figure out the rebel tour of 16 surfers — let them surf all (one) day in guaranteed pumping surf. Live stream it with a camcorder, Luke Cederman commentary banter from his couch, and deem a winner of the day. 4 majors — chopes, pipe, jbay, (search event in indo/ Keramas/ bank vaults/ Kandui/ skeleton bay/ Hollister ranch/ Malibu with Andy/ etc).

Bing bang boom
I think the scores were a little wiffy, but I’ll not complain. Miggy deserves a win for smooth consistency and Kauli will doubtlessly win multiple events in the future.
Another brazilian victory??? Wow…
In a place with the so called “waves of consequences”???!!!! Wow…
I know, I know… Gabe…. no Gabe?! Wow…
I know… Italo!… wait… no Italo?! Wow…

Wait… no?
Wannabe 12th world title bald guy can’t compete at Trestles? Don’t have any chances to win his 12th world title????!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
When will a Carioca win something.
SP boys rule.
Well the most close to it it’s Chianca…
Cariocas surfer boys from the city?… they are like his cousins the
golden boys responsible for the ancestral and traditional australian rail game, and the golden socal/norcal boys….
lazy and rich boys, without cojones, from his mamas and papas…
They are full of soul… they are all truly and legit soul surfers!!!
Entao ta.
Hey… how many waves of consequences in 2023?
Hopefully more than 2022!
I can only congratulate pupo.
He won it fair and I was backing the local.
Lol bro … I celebrate for him!
Huge event to get your first win !!!!
Subdued is your ass. The final was epic with both surfers exchanging scores the whole heat. It kept the suspense until the very end. Miguel and Kauli Vast killed during the entire event. Congratulations to both!
Subdued?
Lay off the fenty bro
