*** Official Lexus Pipe Pro Contest Thread ***
- Thread starter sponge
- Start date
No they can’t run remaining mens in one day. They can get thru rd of 32 and most of rd of 16 with overlapping heats of 40 minutes. If they cut it to under 35 minute heats they could go to quarters.
Just checked the cams. Pipe has live winds and it’s light and east rn. The Waimea buoy is still showing the NNE swell but buoy 1 has been showing more west WNW NNW NW around 13 ft 19 sec. The 7:50 reading is 15.4 ft at 17.4 sec. It’s going to be big and there’s a lot of sand cause of the NNE swells. Should be entertaining.

Multiple swells, one with long periods, lots of sand, firm trades. That's a recipe for absolute mayhem!

dang sand fills in that quickly huh?
I'll say it again, it's no 2-3 foot trestles but I sure love a pipe contest

The finals at Trestles is a mistake. They should move it to San O.
In one sense, Toledo is the perfect champion of modern corporate conglomerate managerial surfing owned by tech billionaires - play it safe, don't rock the boat, hold wild self-congratulation sessions over minor accomplishments, etc. Gone are the days of champs skidding into second-reef Pipe bombs like Mick, I guess.
Maybe it's up to the gnarly surfers to improve their game in regular, mortal human waves so that it's not so fucking extremely easy for Toledo to mop the floor with them whenever it's a non life threatening wave (like 99,9% of the waves ridden by normal surfers world wide everyday).
you owe me one Toledo!
I thought your idea about chargers learning to rip in waist-high mush had real legs. Step 1 is they all diet-down like jockeys.
They could also train in bombing Jbay, which Toledo also dominates. He struggles in Heavy barreling waves over shallow reef, that's it. He dominates everything else. Problem is he REALLY struggles in those slabs. like, maybe he cracks the top 1.000.
With wave pools I could see it being separated into disciplines but I don't think the sport is big enough to support them
Just realized the pool is out. Fucking awesome!
Yes. The pool and JBay are off the schedule this season replaced by Fiji and the Olympics. Takes away 2 of Toledos strong locations and if Cloudbreak is big it’ll add a challenging spot. If he comes in fifth year end and still wins the title it’ll be his only suspect one cause he would’ve won in the old format.
Carissa is the one who has been affected the most by the current format. And she’s bouncing.

On hold? I'm not looking at cams so unsure of the conditions. Is it morning sickness? Too big for the CT guys? Give the locals a sessh before the event so they don't pound some haoles?
