Kelly should have dropped the mic after his last Pipe win. I try to pull for him in contests since he's only six months younger than me and has been an inspiration for more than 30 years, but it's been time for him to wrap it up for a while now. If every CT destination was guaranteed to be firing/barreling he could possibly stay above the cut-line IMHO for another few years, but with the hip surgery and an 52 year old body, he can't hang with the younger guard anymore.
He hides his brazzo accent rather well but you're right about the grammar. the WSL posted that last Robo barrel and Jessé was talking... "He's good at finding waves that DOESN'T really exist"... concordance errors are really hard on the ears. He should at least have corrected himself, show he knows it was wrong but not so easy on the fly... it is just a second language after all, that I can understand.
But even before he met Tati he was probably the best english speaking brazzo of the bunch... maybe Yago too. I think he speaks english better than Filipe too (Filipe only started getting good after moving to San Clemente... Jessé I feel is more like me... simply finds it rather easy somehow... hard to find brazzos speaking in that level if they haven't been living in the US for over 5 years or so).
really good surfing today. love watching sunset beach comps.
I don’t think anyone expects him to have perfect grammar. We all know he’s Brazilian. It’s not like the people he’s surrounded by are particularly eloquent either.
Is that what it was last year? I recall heaving barrels and perfect 10s.
If Kelly is doubting his ability to do turns, it’s over.
There are a lot of people who could be announcing next to Turpel, I don't dislike mendes but he is not particularly compelling either...turpel needs a straight man and maybe mendes's blandness clicks..the tati angle seems unlikely but maybe the wsl marketing department really is that fucking stupid.
I’d bet (but haven’t actually seen) Jesse is also doing the Portuguese webcast. Dual coverage with one paycheck.
the play by play desperately needs it to become the wave pool tour. too much downtime in the ocean even with the overlapping heat format.
turpel is a major liability when it comes to growing a cross over sports audience. can you imagine dodgers fan who grew up listening to vinny, thinking cool it maybe slow out there but at least we got joe t to entertain us

2% massacre. Crosby, Eli, Cole, and Kade all out in the rnd of 32
It's good for a toddler who has never visited an english speaking country. Other than that I basically can't speak the language.
Lots of Hawaiians out before the Round of 32 as well.
