Love that ran heats at the Box. Separates the wheat from the chaff. Who goes down? The extreme claimers and the aerialists. Their dads are having Portuguese sh!t fits. Wish they ran the whole contest there. I'm so sick of air reverses and surfing above the wave and spinning and landing and claiming and looking at the judges. We need more below sea level death pits. What italo did and Jack Robbo did yesterday? Way more impressive to me than Felipes Jbay aerial devoid of style thing a few years ago that everybody had kittens over. But maybe I'm old school. Bring back the Pancho Sullivan, Richard Cram, Margo, Dane Reynolds, Elko power surfing. And yes to me style matters.

Agreed. Pros blowing take-offs is epic to see. Highlights how out of this world Jack Robbo's performance was. He got the best waves of the day. Best heat score of the day, and I read somewhere that his 3rd and 4th best waves would have been the second highest heat score of the day too. As one of the commentators said, that was an Andy Irons-esque performance.

Robo's not on tour because not all the waves on tour barrel.

Kelly claimed a 5 in his heat.

So what would be your solution? You just seem angry at the system.

solution to what? I see no value or importance to proclaiming the best surfer in the world, since I make no money from it.

Yeah, I am angry at the system just as much as I am angry at world figure skating judging.

No justice, no peace :censored:

Had three friendly fire heats in R3, then two friendly fire heats in R4 and already have one friendly fire heat in the Quarters. Friendly fires up my b-hole.

Nah I think konoa surfed pretty safe and ryan was more committed. Maybe the judges got enough flack for throwing excellent scores at him for floaters in Bali.

Really loving Kolohe's meth dealer sunglasses in his post heat interviews.

Yeah, I thought Parko was great on the mic. Would be happy with more of him.

I didn't see everything, but here's my take aways:

- Gabby was on one of the gnarliest waves of the day, and he fckn butt-stalled to get deeper. Respect is due.
- Caio really knows how to ride the tube. He kinda killed my team, but did it by surfing really well
- Felipe is still probably my favorite surfer on tour, but man Get Jack R. on this tour STAT! He's amazing! :bowdown:
- Goofies are surely at a disadvantage at the box, but the regulars got plenty of carnage too, so I though it was great viewing.
- Kelly looks like he's riding a skateboard with really loose back trucks
- Main break is pretty boring after watching the box


Looks like they will be finishing later today.
