“End of the Road Joe”
Who will provide JMD with a raised fist?
The wind turned onshore. would you have kept running heats in onshore Teahopoo with double overhead sets and an increasing swell? With the forecast calling for offshore winds thur thru sat?
One does wonder how they’ll fuck up tomorrow.
Let’s wait and count the ways!
Overlapping heats in the opening round
Yip, Robbo two scores were when he had third priority
When the surf is good they should do that anyway.
How did they mess up today? Ran the women early when it was manageable. Switched to mens as swell increased. Then… it turned onshore and became very shitty and dangerous. And the next 3 days look insane with offshore winds and pumping swell.
What I’m alluding to is the establishments ability to fumble in easy circumstance’s. “Couldn’t get a fuck in a whore house with a fist full of fifties” one might say.
Do you surf?
So they only ran three heats and put the event on hold?
FFS, the Wozzle could fuck up a wet dream.
Off for the day? Is the swell building tomorrow?
Looks like it’s kinda pumping though? Surely Kelly, regardless of being an OK event, does not hold this much sway over the calls.
Edit: must of just looked at the right time, kinda is shit.
you’d think, yet here we are. He’s thinking he can smoke pip if it’s held off ill the swell fills in.
The Kauli and Robbo show, honorable mention Baron, was great, everyone else looked lost
So Surfline didn’t get the forecast right? What?
They did cover their ass and mentioned the “local winds” could be dicey, blame the locals it’s their fault apparently
big crumble a hope poo

Melt down at WSL as they are in a conundrum to run or not run the female’s ( yes i choose not to use the south african term “woman’s”).
Breaking News from a local oceanographer, the swell is being repelled by Striders glasses, swell will not turn on until the glasses have been burnt
