If Toledo wants people to shut up he should be out there charging while the comp is off (Italo was there on a 7'2''charging closeouts). Does anyone know if he's out there or has been out there these days? He probably drove down to Waikiki.

Bet it was the athletes that didn’t want to go out.

The safety ski crew were getting paid for showing up and going on hold so they were probably loving the light work.

I watched for a bit and it looked gnarly and closed out. Saw a guy taking off and going for the shoulder, no barrel. It would have been one of those days where people are getting 2s and 3s and an odd 6 or 7 here and there.

My guess is that there's about one makeable wave every ~20mins, and the rest are good for getting your teeth knocked out.

Fantasy-land, but I wish Hawaii would give them one event window for both contests. You could totally run an opening round at Sunset right now. It's a windy, crossed-up shitshow but contestable.
Seeding would require a fortune teller though.

There was a long period 4xOH NW swell and a DOH NE swell plus the trades were near 30 mph. It would of been very challenging, scores would of been ten's and two's. Probably plenty surfers would of advanced with under 5 points total. I do think they should of run it but I understand why they didn't.
