A dude reporting on the Syrian conflict can't be assumed to be endorsing either war or the Assad regime.

Re: snapper pro

If they had only extended to Sat/Sun when the NE swell period increases to about 10s. Looks like gutless 6s period swell until very late Friday (http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld4.asp) What are the financial ramifications of extending? Are they paying rent on having the teak desk in position fo...

Re: Fiji 2014

Apart from the commentary nugget of "down-turn", did anybody notice the excruciating "sending it to the top" being used? This one was getting flogged. Is this what yanks call top-turns or re-entries? Why can't we have a non-yank wave caller? It seems Pottz was there only to comment on the replays an...

Re: Ask Carroll

Hi Nick, long time listener, first time caller. Whats your feeling about this new shark-repellent wetsuits and board stickers? http://www.sharkmitigation.com/ Personally would like a testimonial from a fair-dinkum shark attack survivor (who used this "technology"), before I dress myself up like beet...

Re: Bali Pro - Who's Ya Winner ?

Heats 'On Demand' are a total joke. Trying to catch up on Round 2 heats .. have to sit through hours of streamed footage. Nice one Oakley.
Aren't they supposed to be standardising the web experience? What gives?

Could be. He's even getting the nod on tight decisions ala Slats of old. Damo's last wave was more than enough to take it out, but judges couldn't pay it.

By "big fella" I take it you mean Jordy yeah? His last heat was super cool .. a different Jordy, world champ 2013 IMO.

Re: Snapper riffing

Called off and all I can see are most probably all the pros in the lineup absolutely destroying waves that seem to roll on forever. What gives Jake? Surely good enough for Round 2 ffs..

Frustrated - dejavu Fiji anyone?

Re: surfing between the flags

On a rare visit to Bondi, during the winter btw. Found a reasonably uncrowded left bank that headed towards the big arse no boardriding zone. I caught a couple of smokers, no swimmers in sight .. and it was debatable as to whether I had crossed the imaginary line or not. Regardless, the clubbies sta...

Re: Rio Floater Pro

So nobody watching floater central? I love the world tour, find it an intriguing soap opera, hope KS never retires. Total travesty that Bong dipped out of Jbay in favour of Rio. Purely a bums-on-seats calculation?
Medina dummy spit was gold!
