Some critical surfing in some chunky surf. Impressive. They said tomorrow is going to be a “barrel fest”. I’m ok with that.

I watched a couple heats last night- total crap shoot mostly won by one turn close-out hits in onshore washing machine surf.

Thats why the Hawaiians all got knocked.

Poor Kolohe can’t catch a break. Absolutely dismantled by Houshmand.

It's a weird sport.

Arguably on any given day Kolohe could beat anybody at trestles.

And now he's stuck in the bush leagues scrapping in closeouts.

Houshmand surfs like a goddamn man, and it's very obvious that he is really hungry. It won't be shocking when he starts taking scalps on the CT.

For your viewing pleasure, heat 1 and Chippo's 10. Insane rippage.

Who's that at 13:58 in the blue jersey? That was the only wave in that whole video (the second) that I enjoyed. WSL promotes a hyper agro arm waving style that, despite the radicalness of the maneuvers, I don't care much to watch.
Think thats nolan rapoza....
