*** Official Rip Curl Newcastle Cup Discussion ***

[SurfMission]

The circus finally gets back under way down under. Holding period begins tomorrow afternoon our time. I love the afternoon/evening aspect of the Australian leg of the tour due to the start times fitting in well with beer. This should be a cool year as well with the new venues.

It's been a while since we've had a CTcontest. I'm excited to mute Joe Turpel this evening.

 

[SurfMission]

They're running round 1. Men start at 1:35pm PST.

 

[racer1]

Slater looking like a genius.

 

[SurfMission]

This is horrid. If I weren't at work, I wouldn't be watching.

 

[Northern_Shores]

Mark Richards is going to be featured a bunch, so that'll be nice

Waves are on par with good day of surfing at a lake in Finland

 

[Woke AF]

are they surfing Torrance Beach?

 

[EastCoastBrah]

Slater looking like a genius.

Imagine spending a month in quarantine for this.

....Guess it's still better than me watching it from work.

 

[SurfMission]

Toledo though...

 

[SurfMission]

It's a mind f*ck switching between the Surfline cams and the comp. Basically the same thing.

 

[silentbutdeadly]

I love how I try to watch through wsl.com and it doesn't work. I find it in my FB feed and it works but it's in portugese!

 

[Tarab_ish]

decided hey I'l check it out, it's the first contest in a while. turned on a heat with ace buchan (underrated choice for most boring ct surfer ever) out in surf that I wouldn't paddle out in. lmao, maybe not

 

[hugh shackman]

awful waves but if im being honest i would paddle out in these conditions and it would probably still be crowded

 

[mundus]

After the pathetic winter we had I would actually love that surf right now.

 

[toowalled]

I like how they call garbage surf tricky conditions

I love how I try to watch through wsl.com and it doesn't work. I find it in my FB feed and it works but it's in portugese!

I go to youtube if i want to watch. Wsl site Has too many commercials

 

[One-Off]

are they surfing Torrance Beach?

Hey. Yesterday Torrance was really fun.

 

[stringcheese]

If pro surfing isn't dead yet, they're certainly beating the hell out of its unconscious body.
