ah dont get me wrong, im still all for KS to get 10. when he retires after this, its just going to be known as the post slater era, and just about every title holder will be compared to slater... thats the only thing that will suk from KS getting 10.... probably the greatest achievement in sporting ...

But surfing is hardly like most competitive sports, certainly not Tennis. How much has Kelly won this year? $300K. Jordy has won half that and Dane only $80K. That would hardly cover the travel and hotel bills. But how much do they get paid by their sponsors? Their prize money would hardly make a d...

I hope he wins 10 world titless. but can he then retire and give someone else a go. well this is the thing right. from what i can see, everyone winning a title will be compared to competing in slaters era. for example "since surfer x just won the world title in 2012 - do you think he would of beate...

awesome article...

if u think about it, the last person to give kelly a can of whupp ass was andy - and thats when he was in hate mode... since they now all love each other in tour, no-one has really beaten kelly....

i want to go check out the area when im next there... but i mate of mine went over and checked out the site, and spoke to the project manager (an aussie guy) and has invested a fair bit of cash.... but never having been there, can anyone who has tell me a bit about it? sounds quite under developed t...

what do u guys think of the medewi area? looks like ive got a bit of an opportunity to buy some around there as an shareholder with some other investors / friends....

yeah - that would be pretty rocking too watch.

pick a world class wave (mentawai's for example) and let them go nutz....

i like the idea of the slalom event too. seeing all the guys in the water at the same time, knowing that your "favourite" surfer is only 3 waves away would be very cool indeed...

thanks nick. appreciate it.

do u think a 25 would be better like mical said?

Sorry I got nothing on this one..

well id never...

Maybe a top 25? when i looked at the list today i thought the same thing.... a top 25 would make things very exciting in heats, as almost every surfer would be top notch.... i understand that tennis has a one ranking system. but how do you guarantee yourself a place in the big games? by being in th...

anyone explain this one to me?

how do they re-qualify if they drop out of the top 32?

do they have to wait until next year to re-qualify?

oracle wisdom appreciated...

how long is the swell forecasted to hang around for?

every time i see a pumping j-bay - i think i should head over there.... looks insanely good..

awesome - could be the best comp so far this year....

in regards to choice of clothes, id much rather purchase something from a surf brand than say, target, david jones, glue or whatever shop is cool....

i guess we have a certain image of ourselves, and the surf brands do a good job of supplying that image....

Then again, I guess you don't shift units by saying "...underpinned by a derivative and pedestrian design element".

dont really see parko coming back from this at all.... i mean, yeah he will recover, but in regards to the guy getting a world title... it just seems to me like it keeps slipping away from him... last year, he had mega focus, and then injured himself.... this year, the race is still close, with an e...
