Dead corpse flower that smells like a decaying body would be appropriate.

Kelly is addicted to his phone and social media. My sister DMd Kelly on his IG and suggested he invite Jeannie Chesser to Surf Ranch. That year was her 70th bday and 10 years of being in remission from cancer. He replied good idea and called Jeannie the next day.

seems like judges just want 3 stand-out turns (or airs) and no falls, gotta make the tubes of course.
seems its easier to do those standout turns further out on the shoulder
perhaps racing to the shoulder to do them is smarter than meciocre turns that dont score and may leave u caught behind a bit

Would be funny as hell if some super rich person bought land right next door to Surf Ranch and built the exact same thing, then let everyone rent it out and surf it for free, until they put WSL's pool out of business. :computer:

Like was already said, the pool seems to encourage safety surfing and almost figure skating like routines. The variability of each individual wave is better viewing IMHO

I preface every time I write about Medina that "I'm not a fan" but I thought he won that heat. EE's reverses were not even in the air.

They tricked it into a fair chance of getting a non-brazzo final. Just like I said. How Leonardo Fioravanti was able to stumble this far into the comp is unknown even to the WSL psy ops command.

well ewing will lose to the air guys
its gonna be 2-3 airs per wave to win a heat from this point on
these other guys do big airs without even trying
guess i m rooting for cola to take the ratings lead once ewing is out
i do like toledo though, and i still say his board fits this waves curve best....

This is the most entertaining comp at the Ranch thus far...the format, the cringe, and reading the live chat makes it a worthy way to pass time.
