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.

Do you have an opinion upon?
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?

having just watched the Eddie, Jaws and Mavs at size I sure hope Nazare is going to be a decent size. All the XXL swells are getting me a bit jaded when its not absolutely humungous.

Says the guy playing Surfival
There are no such spaces as “safe spaces”. That just progressive retard lingo. You deserve all the mockery and scorn you get here jack.
I thought Mara Lego was a safe place,LOL!!
I bet Zuckerberg still wonders if that underground bunker on Kauai is safe enough.
nah the Hawaiians already know about it and ol fuckerberg hopefully has paid enough $’s to , ” save the Trump fund?”
If you can’t imagine the obvious, then your mind is more diseased than you know.
Just imagine how much agreeing with Trump Gavin Newsom is going to have to do just to be competitive in 2028. Must turn your stomach.
I think Denmark have put in an offer for California will be really interesting to see what Californians prefer…..Trump or Denmark….already in Greenland 85% rejection of USA/Trump…..so Otto maybe California could become a state of Denmark
I notice there is a movement on now to rename the USA as South Canada or Northern Mexico ……..which is sorta west of the Gulf of the Unlikely State of America??
It’s not the Gulf of the United States. It’s the Gulf of America, not even the Gulf of North America. It’s very inclusive of South and North America.
With our military presence on the base in Greenland, we pretty much already own it
if you already own Greenland , why all the threats etc Tariffs blah blah…..I thought the USA was worried about China ,WTF….??
just so ya know I don’t think Denmark are too worried about the Don’s threats as Denmark is responsible for the health and lives of 40 m Americans!!
I am great. again. the danish dude legally here from Aalborg…

For pick-up or for here. Salsa&Sushi&Sauza extra. luv Dane
I hear that men who wear Tudor watches, the Black Bay 58 in particular, are distinguished and inordinately well-endowed gentlemen

solid choice … also not a little ironic that a pod sponsored by Vaer is questioning whether Tudor is a worthy stand alone brand – but I digress.
Looks like time for a beer!
That just another CA Democrat failing to conceal their Nazi underpinnings.

Speaking of vehicles, anywhere else got the #vanlife #twinny #tinybeanieandmoustache crew hanging their wetties over the side mirror to dry while driving about?
just Raglan?
Just left Raglan and yeah I did see that a lot?!?
hahaha, it’s classic. obviously all the stickers aren’t enough to let people know they are surfers.
Apparently Twillsy lives in Raglan and accidentally started that practise after a few bongs too many.
And then the hip crew followed his example thinking it was the cool thing to do…
😂 sounds right.
Pointless bravado. Get a real job lads and lassies.
Nazare and abu dabi arent helping. Can we just have 8 foot barrels at Pipe, Chopes and Cloudbreak, and amazing jbays – and call it a day? Four stops. Do I have to do all the thinkining?
Thanks ric
no worries pisspuss, im exhausted
Well you’re much appreciated. I can tell that you are here for the people. You are definitely a servant for us so thank you buddy!🤣
its nice to have my public service acknowledged pipspuss
Holster ye auld keyboard and put your feet up for a bit, ric.
You’ve earned a break.
Cheers A, or are you just trying to shut me up?
Hell no !
mom says trip ur pubes~
Nazare is the indeed exact opposite of the wave pool yet it is somehow equally as lame. Just one of life’s little mysteries.
