It’s COOKING! I love watching the ISA webcast – it’s real surfing for me, the pinacle of what used to be amateur surfing. And the commentary is good – top media guy chris cote and ex world champ beardo barton! I don’t miss the BS and corpo gobbledygook by the WSL at all! Also, if you look at the tour bosses, Fernando is the epitome of a cool cat with surfing history whereas E-Lo is just a massive clueless kook.
..
It’s true
It’s better than WSL.
Fernando is Star Wars…ELO is Star Trek.
No. Fernando is a Cylon and ELO is the shark Fonzie jumped. Get it straight when it comes to ancient TV metaphors DJ.
Classic!

Elo is “Muffit”
Revised conspiracy theory: Kelly will undergo hormone therapy and transition to a woman so he can get that third US Women’s spot
Cote not that bad. At least less corporate than those other fucks
Waves are picking up
Barton in the house! 🙂
Olympic surfing? Makes no sense. So lame it should be in a pool to make it even more “Olympicy”.
Jordy in the Olympics!
Conspiracy theory: John threw his heat to diminish the USA Men’s chances at a third Olympic spot so that he doesn’t have to put up with Kelly stealing the surfing limelight at Paris 2024
he moved on yesterday…did he fall today?
Took fourth in his heat today
and he won’t be coining a complaint letter to ELO…
Gonna be awkward for Slater to go to the rest of the tour stops. What’s the point, can’t he take a hint?
Why is he even on tour? I don’t get it
Agree!
Shannon, Barton, Cote…lumpy surf. Yuck.
give me this over the wave pool any day
…and nobody cares.
ELO: “please don’t upset the pro surfers…that’s my job!”
