as is the pattern, it should be happening now. Waves are cooking Bru.

One of the few events I will actively follow, should the waves coincide.

Thanks @sponge !!!

I can't think of J-Bay without thinking about Tom Curren's first wave ever there (1992). Video narrated by Sonny Miller (RIP).

The other thing I think about is Mick's encounter.

How are they running this contest without ELo? Technically it shouldn’t be possible.

Slater retiring in the WSL is similar to when Jordan retired in the NBA- they dont want him too and it will come with a major loss of viewership. I dont think he's entirely washed up at all. I think he can still perform well especially on waves like this that suit him well. I think he has a good shot at this one especially since White Lightening is not in it- or is he?. Slater has won Jbay 4 times. I bet he will finish in the top five.

I don't think Slater attracts many viewers nowadays. Maybe old fucks like us, but we're not their target audience anymore me thinks.

I'd take that bet

Forecast says tomorrow should be insanely big. I hope some videos pop up.

They didn’t seem to miss him in Brazil.

nevermind, just read the post. Yeah, that won't happen... If it's big and flawless enough to be an advantage for him he'll still handicap himself riding a jittery 5'2'' or something.

Forecast looks promising for once.

Nice webcam I use to watch The pro's are out! I think John Florence is on the red board.

The Woke Surf League is getting decolonized and now also de-skunked. Might be firing!
