Was Bielman with you?

If he was, you need to weasel as much Bielman dialogue into your next outsider piece as you can. That guy is comedy genius when the real bullets start flying.

[steve shearer]

Bielmann was on another boat.
he'll have some hero shots.
But I beat him to the punch and he'll hate that.
Saw Carroll out there

I think he went a bit balder out there.

saw nicks commentry on webcast, describing flecthers ride as riding into armagheddon. when they showed his face (nicks) he looked like he was in a state of shock/disbelief at what he saw....., and considering hes been round the trap a long time i guess thats sayin something.
sound about right nick?

[pridmore]

[Skipper]

What a weekend of bringing sport into disrepute. Manly
and Storm grubs acting up.
Now Kobe's 'n all defying gov orders and taking on Chopes. Typical arrogant ozzies abroad. Shame shame shame.
And what about that channel 9 reporter? Acting up her shock and awe in the Chopes channel, feigning wet panties, when all the while you could tell they were in some Lane Cove backlot rear projecting.

[gibber]

Hahaahaa ha oh you cynical old bastard Skippah

[alakaboo]

Nice shots Steve.
Guess the recent outlay on equipment paid off...
Can't wait for the interview.

[FishStick]

Epic! How's Freddie P's take on having to have a crack, haha what a guy!

[kreepykrawly]

Those guys should get top placings...... not the rest of the pro surfers, screaming like girls every time one of those’ true’ watermen take off on ‘those’ bomb sets. Go Fletcher...

‘Code red’ is only there to protect the delicate bones and reputations of some of the more delicate pro surfers.

How many “I would surf but it was a code red” excuses are going around right now ?.

In 6ft conditions any local hot surfer at any club around the world could win that comp.

It makes me sick

[Nick Carroll]

Ha ha you guys are on it aren't you.

Skip I saw Roz Kelly in the back of a boat in the channel yesterday and she was scared absolutely shitless. Her face was almost unrecognizably twisted with fear. And she was not the only one.

Reg yes there were a few drongoes here but they were mostly ejected early in the piece. The ones who stayed were on skis and doing a shit job. Poto did a couple of quick fill in rescues yesterday when drivers basically abandoned their charges.

Kk is funny as always. It hasn't dawned on him that all these guys ARE fcuken locals. Just only one (Davo) from northy.

[Kunji]

They love giving 10's out it would seem.

[pridmore]

Farken all time event, great viewing, gunna be hard to top...but then again, NY might just do it....

[surferliam]

a bit off topic, but does anyone know if the new york comp will be shown on onehd? cos i remember during the Snapper comp they were saying that the New York and France comps will be shown live, yet i have not heard or seen anything on one about it

[kreepykrawly]

Kk is funny as always. It hasn't dawned on him that all these guys ARE fcuken locals. Just only one (Davo) from northy.

Nick Carrol is confused as always....partially due to the omission of the word ‘unknown’ in front of the word ‘local’ that i used ...... please forgive this trivial oversight and withdraw the use of the word ‘ARE’ in capital letters and replace it in lower case.

In fact delete the whole sentence....especially the word 'fcuken'

It really shocks me and makes me feel vulnerable and confused.

[Skipper]

WTF?? seriously?? They abandoned guys in the washup?
Book em danno!

Yeah, that 9 reporter's fear was truely palpable. I reckon shed have preferred being on patrol in north west Pakistan or some such horror warzone instead of the chopes channel. Making amends I guess for their Brisbane fcuk up.

Don't t do Fox, so pretty pissed off it's not being shown on One.
Ah well.
Those snaps of Shearer's are all time.
