"Forecast for Pipe looks shit. Good luck everyone, get ready for a bloodbath."
You ever had a dream?
Ever spun the roulette wheel?
Dropped your business card in a raffle, your keys in the ol swinger’s bowl?
What if you could control your own destiny? Bend reality to your will.
I’m talking about our little creation, the anti-Fantasy game called Surfival League. It’s not a game of chance. It’s simple but requires a deft hand.
All you gotta do is pick one surfer to make it past the Round of 32.
If they advance, you advance.
You can’t pick the same surfer twice.
If you can do this better than everyone else over the course of the season, you will get the spoils.
Spoils? Yeah. Unlike Fantasy Surfer, we’re giving $5,000 and three PANDA surfboards to the winner.
What would you do with the money?
Surf trip?
Motorcycle?
First tranny three-way?
The possibilities are endless (up to $5k)
Here’s the catch.
Surfival League registrations close in less than a dozen hours.
Join your fellow BeachGritters, former World Champs, surf dorks and industry insiders in the fun.
Sign up and pay $20 before Sunday Jan 29 8 am PST for a chance at the dream.
Pipeline waiting period starts tomoz but be warned, the surf forecast is rough or in the words of Santa Babs surf photographer Seth de Roulet,
“Forecast looks shit. Good luck everyone, get ready for a bloodbath.”

I wonder if anyone picks Flip and is then surprised by his result.
But regardless of how shit the forecast looks within the contest window, it’ clearly going to be an epic, historic day of surf when it ultimately starts.
Why is there a book about Ducks on the table?
Jordy’s year
(to advance into the round of 32 at head high backdoor)
see you at sunset, surfvivers!!
Joined!
Italo for the win! Those abs don’t lie
I won 5k gambling on sportsbet last year and pissed it up the wall in France. Best trip yet.
Thats about 3 bottles of chateu lo ver de flor
Wasted on a booze guzzler like me.
Beauty.
I spent all my money on bitches and booze.
The rest I just wasted.
And FUCK DAN ANDREWS!!!!!!!!
Novak!!!!!! The true hero of modern times! Fuck global tyranny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other guy was obviously handicapped by some cunts
Aus tennis should offer a full apology
Fuck global tranny???
He will jinx you by winning im afraid
I’m in, and ready to fail, again.
You’d you pick? I went with the Old Boy.
I went with a prawn pad thai.
Guaranteed, delish and still got 2 bucks
will the waves cooperate for him? I went Barron.
Even though theres so many reasons to pick the kelster, not to mention its probably the only event worth picking him, i decided to be cunning and pick jjf. I figure everyone’s going to pick egghead and if he bombs out it should wipe out about half the field.
Cunning isn’t picking a favourite. I most definitely am nervous with a weird forecast picking Kelly. But an educated guess would say that if Kelly and JJF dip out that’s 60-70% of the field dusted.
I figure a kid who grew up surfing there probably knows better than any how to surf it when the surf is shit.
By my reckoning kelly will come up against jordy in rd 3. Not that jordy is a pipe specialist but probably a harder match up than a non hawaiian youngster.
Can we have a pool on the first broadcaster the WSL will fire?
Oh pottz
Hopefully Shannon.
Gabby’s to lose by the look of that forecast.
agreed. he’s the better comp surfer than JJF.
Did anyone else see the video of his 6 foot air on a one foot wave? It was a free surf. No jet ski involved. In the ocean. It came out around the same time he got robbed by the judges in Portugal — Julian won, Medina got 2d.
A game to play?
Bet on your fav surfer?
Is this the Inertia?
Gambling isn’t a game Freerider, it’s a sign of a highly evolved civilization.
Now that’s just devils talk.
