“We are on hold while we switch to Winki Pop”.
Dread words for any viewer.
If they are there, it’s because the swell is too weak and inconsistent for Bells. And that higher camera angle makes the manoeuvres seem even smaller. Wonky Pap.

Nick, why have no heats run yet?

True, although the commentary team's hesitancy to say shark is perhaps best judged when there’s a shark.

It was a shark-shaped clump of seaweed. It was reasonable to pause and check, of course.

Are front zips the banana boards of 2019?

Looking at a cam, Snapper seems to be deteriorating into waist high mush.

My daughter went to D-bah to observe a bit of the action. She 'watched' the last women's heat. You couldn't see them. They were almost around at Froggys. Invisible. There were a couple of jetskis that indicated their location. There was no big screen showing the action. The air heat started. She mov...

I've only ever just ripped the fcuking things off.
hate tail pads, they encourage nothing but overly tail based conservative thruster surfing.

ha, ha.

Fcuk! I just got a crazy board shaped 9'8" x 20.5" x 3.5" Christenson off a Twig file, low entry to foiled vee bottom pintail quad. Chris lives the classic gypsy shaper's life, orders collect at various points on the globe, he comes into town and tunes in with the machine etc, finish shapes a pile ...

Happy Birthday, MM! I turned 61 late last month.

Carvers are great boards IMHO, a 7'7 or 7'11 would suit you well MM

MM, what I think Cranked is saying is that you might need to go a little easier on the pie floaters before the 7’6” is a feasible option.
