slater didnt look to be in event winning form
or even italo beating form
really hope he pulls it together and wins
checked out the frk hes riding, was thinkin looked like he might have too much rocker
but it says the board is medium rocker nose and tail.... unless they modified this one with more....

2 interesting/funny things I picked up in Slaters after heat interview:
1. Him saying if he can win Mexico and Tahiti he might be able to slip into the top 5 for the finals at Tresltes. This is saying he intends to surf Tahiti even though it's been rumored he wont be able to make it due to his non-vaxd state and the 10 day quarentine. It also shows how stupid the World Champ format is if he's able to skip the entire Austalian leg and still have a chance at being World Champ.
2. Interviewer: "You've got Italo in the next round, what's your feelings on that?"
Slater (immediately and straight faced): "He's got a tough heat." If nothing else give it up to the GOAT for keeping that PMA!

Gabby and Ethan in the water.

Looks like there's some texture on the waves, but still looks insanely fun!

Outerknown bummed they are now stuck with stacks of Tahiti merch they can't sell. Sucks that Slates doesn't get to make a go of it at the end.
they get rid of it just fine. Seen some crazy t-shirts etc in the strangest places around the world.

The 2-tone spray on Carissa's board made me realize that she surfs kinds like a sulky smooth Sunny Garcia :shrug:

A lot to look forward to between Robbo and Herdy. Particularly impressed with that Herdy kid, didn't know he had already gotten that good. His dad used to compete in the 90s.
