Take aways going into Rnd 16:
-No one on tour can touch JJF carve for carve in 6-you name it' righthanders.
-Nearly everyone looked like they would've benefitted from a slightly longer board when the swell was maxing.
-There were some impressive efforts by the goofies, but overall they weren't too impressive. Lots of under the lip slides that were cooler when Occy did them.
-It looked tough to get a good wave. Lots of wanking straight legged lip dodges disguised as laybacks.
-Stace Galbrath is a welcome addition, but he's clearly bored already. You'd have better odds hitting a kangaroo in the parking lot than getting Griffin to take the bait on whining about scores or answer with anything insightful. (I though his scores were fine considering he surfed well on some of the smallest waves of the day.
-Jack Robbo was a massive disappointment.
