Anyone know why the video quality so bad at this event? Looks like 720p
So did the woz give Flick the flick for talking up about the recent goings on or is she in hozzy with hard rooting injuries again
Why the boycott?
Not enough longboard content and chat?
The david lee scales rumors are getting wild!!
Well spill the beans then my lovely magic hands…
Was caught handling things
What things darl? You will have to be more clear
Watched Simmers replay and this wave looks dreamy. She killed it!
her comp to lose as far I can see
Interesting fact. Philippines mangrove zones are home to some of the biggest saltwater crocs on the planet.

And that attracts and brings benefits to many other ‘species’… which, if they are very careful, very, very, very careful, and useful and attentive, are tolerated…
I bet the Filipino Lady Boys miss their favorite Muchacho Olympian.
While we’re waiting does any cunt know who discovered this wave and why its called Cloud 9?
Hahahar – shameless troll to get Aunt Joanie all wet and excited. Expect a boring post – any fucken second.
Well, in 1993 I came up with the name Cloud 9 because I was smoking up with the in the built-in sauna of my friend’s dad’s house and we were rolling 3 grams of a brand new indica/sativa hybrid into cigar wraps and then cutting the blunt up and then smoking that out of a bong, after 3 full rotations, I got dizzy coughing and spilled the bong water onto my friends Surfer magazine and then he punched me in the chest and said “I bet you’re on cloud 8 right now, Idiot” and they I said “actually I’m on cloud 9” because I was stoned and laying on the magazine and the wave on the cover looked like heaven and I just kinda laid there for a bit with my face really close to the magazine and I could smell the paper and the bong-water and I didn’t realize that life was going to get hard and that someday I’d have to worry jobs and bills and women and kids and my parents getting old and
Lmao
tried to upvote it twice
*slow clap*
Hold on, I think this might be bullshit. Why would you cut the blunt up and put it in a cone?
I believe it was Kevin Davidson, Larry Blaire & Maroubra crew. (Allegedly).
Surfer mag exposed it.
I named it “Cloud 9” after our first trip to Siargao in 1992 – there’s a big chapter in my book “Original Cloud 9” and you can read all about it on my Medium story –

JSC, do you know if Mike Boyum surfed the wave? Probably not, given the state he was in at the time?
So what’s going on with this thing? Off ?
They wanna give Hawaiian queens the best conditions man.
Cheers.
It’s off for the day I believe. I think I saw Joe Turps talking about calling it off or something but I had the sound down and really wasn’t paying attention to him so I’m not positive.
Duterte is currently in The Hague man.
These two heat days the woz seem to now love are sooooooo fucked. I mean they’ve even lucked into a good forecast the incompetent cunts
Brent Symes, 36, of Tweed Heads, was brutally attacked in knee-deep water by locals wielding bats and bottles after he accidentally drifted too close to their surf break on Monday while watching trials ahead of the Siargao Cloud 9 Surfing Cup from the water.
Filipino police yesterday confirmed the five locals were now in custody and facing charges of
attempted murder.
Fucking hell the Woz kept this quiet too the cunts
That was like 10 years ago.
Ahhh well I’ll let em off then
Years ago – and the jackass was trying to surf in the middle of the national championships.
He deserved the beating he got from the locals –
Good surfer. And his brother shaped one of the best shortboards I’ve ever ridden about 20 years ago, I still have it in mum’s shed.
The format of this live chat is all effed up. Or is it just me?
Glitchin’ man.
I’ll take the opportunity to have a short rant. I hope that pro surfing never, ever caters to china, the chinese government or any conservative religious organisation or government. When Ziff sells someone has to remind the stakeholders of what went on with china yesterday, who went scorched earth on real madrid and Kylian Mbappe because of a lighthearted, one-line joke.
One GM in the NBA said one statement and the commissioner reckons it costed their league $400 million when the chinese cancelled them temporarily.
Once you start suckin on that fat tit you can never pull away from it or sustain your business without that revenue, because it’s so large and fanatical.
I could explain the incident but this video does it for me. We almost all know some weirdo who glazes the chinese system and says it’s better, I even met one yank in our tiny town in guanacaste. He had enough of great surf and yankee influence and reckoned he was ready to sell up and move to fuckin china with his chinese wife. Bizarre shit.
Censorship at maximum level. Only grovelling apologies, such as what a John Cena did will suffice.
And LeBron chastised the GM ( from the Houston rockets ) when all he did was tweet “prayers for Taiwan” or something like that.
So sick of the world being all about money
That’s what John Cena had to apologise for as well. Recognising Taiwan.
And because he’s a smart businessman he’d been learning mandarin so he apologised in mandarin.
Someone here had a big cry when I called them “the chinks”.
Who can stand in the way when there’s a dollar to be made.
That was likely me, although I doubt that I had a “big cry”. I, hopefully, lightly chastised you.
I’m not fond of any language that would make a person feel bad about themselves when describing something that they have no control over. Some Gritty or blowin may be asian or part asian and feel less welcome here with that terminology. I get that you’re just having a laugh, but it’s not worth it if it’ll hurt some rando’s BG experience. It’s the same as the n-word or the c-word for indian people.
I hope that this is not me having a big cry 😉
Fukin gringo
Sure man.
I’m boycotting BEACHGRIT. Still NO WATCH!!
Adi fucken os cunts
Weren’t you supposed to win a watch deeks? I got mine almost a month ago. And I’m in Hawaii on an outer island.
Nice watch. I’m sponsored by Beach Grit!!
proof. of. watch…
Did they ever give you an explanation?
Haven’t got mine too, but I haven’t chased it up either.
and….off
Is it starling or flick that does the “nameName” thing? anyway, maybe we’ll get a yoyo/lulu heat later. can’tcan’t wait.
the hourglass is nearly empty. but for tricks, me thinks a girl will win. a wicked one, but not a witch~
no watch…
First
faster than a pussy fired ping pong ball in one of the local sex clubs
faster than gabby changing her flight home
She’s a big unit and would surf heaps better if she lost some of the excessive kgs
I thought it was mean when they called her “the most powerful surfer on tour”
Can we have a moment of silence for a certain surfer (banned from tour) who would probably LOVE the extracurriculars available in this region?
Hahahaha Allegedly mate
A couple of my buddies from Kauai went to Cloud Nine like 12 years ago and said they ended up really blowing off some steam in the cathouses. They said it was pretty memorable. They talked about the surf they got in the area, but their fondest memories seemed to be about the Philippino women they partied with.
proof. of. watching?
