Well played gents.

Al and Godsave, can I pencil you in for the Great, the stupendous the boner inducing Dollar Bill Vs Pretty Boy semi -final tonight?

Hard to script better semi final lineups.

Pretty boy just looks so ludicrously comfortable in heavy waves.

Parko got overscored. Kelly was so steep and late I thought he was going right.

[pirate_agenda]

is it just me, or was ace ripped off big time in his rnd 5 heat?

[offshore1]

an old member under a new name. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

got your number smnmatey


on the other hand I'm tipping godsave is unique. It's a wide world out there tommymantll.

it's not just you. Even the commentators didn't think it was worth it, don't think Kelly did either.

Yeah but how can someone from the UK know who Barton Lynch is?

He was a world champion.

He was a world champion.

In the era When Barton was world champ, surfing was alien to dem folk. Plus he ain't no Jimmy Slade with his totes saturation in the world wide media.

He's not from Inuit country in Alaska.

Wasn't there pro comps in Newquay in the 80's? That would have been huge over there.

I see I'm going to have to go and stand in front of one of the Gowerlive.co.uk cams with today's paper to prove my pomminess.

ps, I've been surfing since 1985, so I've got a reasonable idea about who BL is.

[alakaboo]

on now.
Dane just went bananas

[godsavetheking]

father ted fan tommy? I saw ardal o'hanlon live. he was basically dougal. pretty funny tho

[Lucky Al]

whenever i see her i wish i'd studied astronomy.

[Lucky Al]

what a great final day, perfect waves and sunny skies, dane going into the final. couldn't get much better.

[Lucky Al]

well maybe not perfect in the strictest sense, there's still a fair few close-outs and long waits between good waves.

[Lucky Al]

that second semi-final was pretty boring truth to tell.

[Lucky Al]

i have to go pick up my son from froggy school now so i'll miss the final, bit of a shame since i put in the hard yards staying up late at night through the early rounds. oh well, here's hoping the waves are better for it and dollar bill smashes the kunt!

I wonder if the ASP needs to award more points for first place..have a look at the ratings ladder:

1 / Joel 46200 - 5 3 2 9 2 2 3
2/ Kelly - 45450 -5 2 INJ 1 13 1 1
3/ Mick - 4300 13 1 3 3 1 3 13


seems crazy that Joel is in front with no wins to Kellys 3 wins and Micks 2.

I'm watching you BA

kinda looks like my cat too.

That's pretty misleading though coz they get to drop their worst 2 results so Kelly is 1,1,1,2,5 and just ahead of Fanning. Parko might have the ratings lead but is next to no chance of winning the title unless he can finish with a couple of wins or if Slater and Fanning both bomb out early a couple of times each.

While I understand the ability to drop two scores is there to allow for unforeseen problems for competitors, I would rather the title be decided on a a full score of every event counting towards the title.
