Steve has taken to surfing in the nude. Maybe he's having some sort of breakdown.

Nick, does a Newport Plus Boardriders Club comp have any point beyond clearing the break for your own amusement?

would you apply the same logic to lance Armstrong Foamy?

That's cheating, like ball tampering. Very different.

I see no reason why surf journos should have reported on Andy's drug use. He wasn't trying to run the country or drive the school bus. He's a surfer. He surfs really well. That's the story. The public doesn't have a right to know his private life. The only perceived need to know is for the pleasures...

But somehow conflating that with racism, sexism etc etc is just bullshitt logic.

I didn't agree with that. Those isms do not seem innately adolescent.

Though surfing is play so will always happily retain something of the child.

Steve, we are all selfish narcissists. That's the facticity :wink: of the human condition. But, the primary purpose of writing, directing and acting is to produce something for others to use. Not with surfing. It is pure self-indulgence. It's just a way of feeling good. Nothing wrong with that. But ...

Is your foot getting better?

If you don't like aerials, I don't think there's much to complain about with WSL heat surfing.
They do big turns. Unless they spray buckets, they don't get much of a score.

The turning point was a few years ago when they neutered the one-manoeuvre Hail Mary. Although well intentioned, all it actually did was usher in blandly homogeneous rail surfing across the pack. Though, a full rotation above the lip aerial has been still getting people a mostly guaranteed 10. Like...

Some Brazo conspiratards are saying, “for the first time eight Brazilians make Round 3, so you WSL gringos pull this cancellation bullshit!”

And by pumping, Nick means there are actually some breaking waves at Scarborough!

C'mon Crabs, be kool like Klopp.

Julio, re: ignoring the first part of the wave. I like Bells a lot and feel it is underrated and often under surfed in the event. People sit way down on the end bowl takeoff and sometimes even wide of that, then surf it "slow", trying to keep the pace down in order to time those straight up and down...

Winki is looking very pretty this morning.
