Team Florence includes mama bear Alex Florence!

Mom-John has priority over John-John, Backdoor, 12/4/2005.

Some bomb sets coming through today.

The broadcast is 90s vhs level quality but some really good waves coming in. Team Florence got some legit WOTW contenders.

I like the cast quality. Def feels like 90s instead of that polished bullsh!t the WSL puts out. Also feels home grown, like a bunch of friends got together and decided to have a contest among friends. Prob my favorite contest.

 

[youcantbeserious]

Going to be hard to beat Florence or Volcom.

 

[vanrysss]

I'm interested to see how the women fare. This is a good opportunity for them, and I hope they do well.

Did you know if you send them positive vibes it won't have any effect on their performance?

False, positive energy is how Drew Brophy recovered from covid.

I sent negative vibes.

I say those were the cure.

[ElOgro]

I didn’t see Ron Mahalo listed in the SUP heat.

Mason is fun to watch!

 

[Autoprax]

MH is one of the few Surfers I like to watch.

JJF in good waves too.

Everyone else can go fvck themselves.

 

[bonzer5fin]

the women should not be out there. what's keala's paddle to completion ratio? 10, 12 wipeouts for every dodged tube? bethany could have been killed. coco, carissa, and malia all pulled out. smart move on their part. that was horrible.

 

[vanrysss]

Carissa, Malia, Coco???

 

[vanrysss]

Idk I feel like women, given the opportunity will perform at an appropriate level. That doesn't mean they'll get there at their first go. Give it time.

Most don't know that Bianca Valenti won at Pipe before. SeaHawaii Women's Pro, 3/9/12.

 

[silentbutdeadly]

I sent negative vibes.

Morbid thoughts and prayers.

I hope they die
