"Should have done the El Salvador claim."
The World Surf League has officially called the Lexus Trestles Pro on though ugly wind has marred the start leading to a pattern of holds. Two heats were run, before the pause, with Luke Thompson beating fellow South African Matthew McGillivray pushing him off the Championship Tour and into retirement, I think, and Eli Hanneman undoing Hayden Rodgers, who might also be heading into retirement. Fine enough action, I assume (I did not watch), but not as combustible as yesterday’s warm-up.
For it was there, on those pre-game cobbled stones, that two-time world champion Tyler Wright straight burned fellow competitor Alyssa Spencer on a mushy right.
The Couch Surfing boys were there to catch live and declared it would certainly cause some drama as Wright is a known lightning rod.
The reaction, however, was entirely muted, even favoring the 32-year-old Australian with current men’s number one Leonardo Fioravanti summing it up with, “When it’s your turn it’s your turn.”
The most amusing comment, I suppose, came from a fellow named George Efthyvoulos who opined, “I’m waiting for locals to start giving the CT the boot. They’re not catering to local surfers impacted by the circus coming to town.”
It really made me chuckle as the demarcation between Lowers “local” and CT surfer basically non existent.
Do you have a more fiery opinion? Willing to tee off on one surfer or the other?

I watched the Mens Semi Final tennis last night. Shelton vs Tiafoe. I never watch tennis but there commentary is on point. They don’t talk or very little when they are playing and overall its little snips of insight. Refreshing.
Slow horses is great.

You are such a crude cunt ever since you got a watch, but you forget the time when you broke both your arms and your mum had to look after you every day.

Truly amazing how much surf content is being produced these days. There must be thousands of people filming these sort of programs.

Hey Barney Cycle
I watched some of of the vid you linked today.
WTF hey?… Can’t call fish stupid anymore…

Fish? Did you start at minute 13:00 and skip the intro ?
Yes, we are simplistic and easily influenced. I wonder if simple people are more easily influenced, or if it’s not that easy of a correlation. Chomsky and his coauthor pointed out the media’s gameplan back in the 70s when they wrote Manufacturing Consent.
Settle down Barney
Your link was from within
I took it all back to the start.
Where it all begun
And it has all failed…
Who is in charge now Barny?
I am glad to have enjoyed the 80′ and 90’s without conscription

Maybe it it is all just a simulation like ELON says Hahah… Or God OR whatever
At least we were not sent to war as cannon fodder mate…
I’ll look out for it.
