Surf fans lick Bertie's Pepper Sauce from lips.
It feels like an eternity since we last witnessed professional surfing at its highest level though, in reality, it has only been a month. Still, a very long time for the surf fan to sit and ponder things that don’t relate, directly, to heat strategy, wave selection, priorities and priority interferences.
The Rio Pro, anyhow, has opened its waiting period except talk across the coconut wireless was there would be no waves for the Brazilian leg of the World Surf League’s Championship Tour.
Like, zero.
Well, Surfline, the WSL’s official forecast partner, has just dropped an absolutely bullish report that has the aforementioned fan potentially giddy.
“Head high to overhead swell moves in with favorable conditions” for tomorrow, “well overhead surf, onshore wind but not blown out” on Thursday and “overhead surf with favorable local wind” on Saturday.
Clear the schedule except, of course, save some steam for Thursday evening when President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will paddle into a man on man bout that will see one of them, likely, teetering and the other, possibly, stumbling.
Back to Rio, though, Jordy Smith, who surfs against Barron Mamiya and Imaikalani deVault in the opening frame has the most to lose, teetering in the 5th spot just ahead of a recently invigorated Brazilian trio of Gabriel Medina, Italo Ferreira and Yago Dora. Any one of them could send the big South African cascading out of Finals Day.
Very exciting but not as exciting as the 2017 Oi Rio Pro wherein Filipe Toledo attempted to storm the judging tower and became suspended by the World Surf League for the next event which just so happened to take place in Fiji. Looking back, do you think the small wave wizard engineered the incident so as not to surf a big left?
Hmmmm.
In any case, see you tomorrow bright and early or dark and dusky, depending upon where you bed each night.

Haha! To be honest, it was an antagonistic attempt to draw out a certain response. also representative de una perdida de mi camino, pues. in an attempt to toss some gueys, i lost my way. appreciate your corrective measures.
i’m also on a different program than the rest of the schools. i get the recently released, the waiting-for-court-dates/sentencing, the recovered drop outs, and the “in lieu of expulsions” from the whole district. and i’d never wanna go back to general pop. love the kids i work with. i was one of ’em. rust don’t sleep, so i’m on a non-traditional calendar. been off since june 5, back at it july 1. next month off: late sept. – mid oct. then again in late winter/early spring. sometimes aligns with semanas santas y carnivales. all my “off” windows are prime times to hop cheap flights and dip in warmer waters
Yea. Bertie’s Pepper sauce is from Trinidad, and is a somewhat new product on the international market. It’s also called Pepper Sauce in that region , as opposed to Hot Sauce in the US.
Is there another reference that you know of related to that name? The article opens up with the name of the product and I’m not sure why. It’s not mentioned again in the article as most of those opening, bold sentences are.
how big is christo redentor’s cock https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
hot 1’s w/ sid caesar salad please, boy.
2:45am start time in California….looks like I picked the wrong week to quit

Or they could have just held it here instead and not really worry about the forecast… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
ban nicholas parish near the harbour. luv, locals…
Small flat spell atm, would have got a little skunked here too.
Its probably the report for that beach that always seems to pump in the background of the telecast
It’s bull-something, anyway.
For every wildly bullish take there’s an even wilder bearish correction.
I’m watching this comp only for the chicks heats, I’m on G-banger alert.
I’m hearing Slater will be a no show for Rio this year
Hahahaha fucken hell
Xox
more importantly, who will get fired at this years comp? and for what,,,,,,
Kaipo for fingering his bumhole!
Xox
Are they giving any face height predictions for the backwash?
yeah it’ll be as high as Cristo Redentor atop Corcovado
this high:

judges expect Him to jump any day now…
As long as the beach is holding like it usually is I will be happy.
Jesus beholding all that ass & sayin’ “damn!” https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
how much…is wnough. morrings available by appt/ siempre
I’m going to need the judges daily criteria memo before forming an opinion.
That would be good to know before picking my fantasy team as well.
Whose best with jet ski assist?
willie wonka’s kid willie…keepin dat black ‘o white…OUT~
The only people I know to avoid are Darren Handley and Reef Macintosh.
The biggest WSL hater is also its biggest fan
Bring back Magicseaweed. At least they’re honest.
Surf lie and WSL need another Bobby Martinez smack down.
I recall MSW saying that WSL wanted a million bucks to be the the official forecast sponsor for an event. MSW promptly told them to F off!
RIP msw!
Even with a heavy layer of Surfline’s patented eco-friendly turd polish, it still looks and smells like horseshit.
Where have we heard this before…oh ya, before every damn contest.
Wait. You don’t believe? Teahupo’o actually delivering didn’t instantly wipe away years of bullish but not accurate calls?
A broken clock is right twice a day
I’ve never understood this analogy because what if it is permanently 8 mins slow? Then it is never right.
Wow
In this analogy the clock hand would be stuck in a permanant position, thus broken. Not a delayed clock.
brother, you just explained many years of confusion for me when confronted with this statement. like chas, i was stuck in a mindset of a clock being too early or too late instead of being totally defunct. i feel free, light, and atop the world. like this: https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
I had a mate at school we called the clock because he had one arm longer than the other
😂
That’s a great reacharound feature!
Xox
How about; “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere”
similarly tried to work out the advanced sciences on that claim and have left the lab, stumped

Bertie’s Pepper sauce? Where did such a Trinidadian reference come from ?
Stay tuned!
