Good initial storm track but yet again, this storm peaks in intensity after it turns North towards the Gulf of Alaska which will limit size and consistency for Hawaii. Will it be BIG? Yes. A macking consistent 20ft+ Eddie worthy XXL swell? No chance!

Who's their forecaster/organizer that makes "The Bay Calls the day" call? This isn't rocket science!

Nathan Florence, J.O.B., and Mason Ho were all injured and didn't surf in the Backdoor Shootout. Makua tweaked his knee and Billy bonked his head in the Shootout.

Nathan Florence broke his back. He's out, right? I doubt Makua is in, don't know what happened to Kemper or Mason. I hope Joey Cadiz gets in as an alternate.

I don't think Nathan's back is broke, just tweaked. I know nothing about JOB or Mason. I would guess Kemper will go. I would like to see Dave Wassel, Big Ben, Mike Pietsch and Jamie Sterling from the alternate list.

T12 compression fracture and certain people on this forum will jizz their pants knowing he literally thanked deadlifts for what the injury is vs what it could have been

in 2009 I had compression fractures on L1 and L2 vertebrae. Maybe I should have been doing deadlifts.

I stayed out of the water for six weeks. First day back out was to shoot small Pipe Masters.

He was live on YouTube just a couple days ago and said his x-rays were negative. I guess he was waiting for an MRI. Years ago when I tweaked my shoulder I had to go on a wait list to be on the wait list for an MRI, it was 6 months before I got it.

If it's an amateur forecast call and the swell is less than 20 foot plus for the duration of the event, many people would have a chance of winning if it's 12 to 15 foot Hawaiian -
