Tudor time?
Surf fans, globally, suffered collective whiplash when the World Surf League switched on the yellow light for the Tudor Nazare Big Wave Challenge whilst on the back nine of the Surf Abu Dhabi Pro. The watery mountain, which was discovered by Garrett McNamara and breaks off the coast of Portugal, is, for all intents and purposes, opposite of the mechanical wake conjured in a middle eastern petro-kingdom.
Ian Walsh, Kai Lenny, Lucas Chianca, Justine Dupont, Pedro Scooby Vianna and select others are currently racing to Lisbon where they will eat a piece of toast with butter and jam before either renting a car or being fetched by a team manager and driven the hour-thirty north.
Surfline is currently calling Nazare 15 – 20ft. It is expected to jump to 25 – 30ft by Tuesday.
David Lee did not discuss the big wave challenge during our biweekly chat but we did spend much time mulling over European license plates on cars in America.

Listen to mine here.
Also, while semi-on the subject, when you see a yellow light whilst driving, do you speed up or prepare to stop?
Lastly, how do you feel about Tudor watches? The Rolex for the man with almost enough money for a Rolex but not quite or a bold don’t-care-what-anyone-thinks flex?
