without taking anything away from today, which is fcuken great shit, I feel the real main event will happen around Aug 31, when Teahupo'o is forecast to wear a 12-15' SW groundswell. On this day, fongss will step forward on behalf of all disaffected Sunny Coast expat goofyfooters and show the world why professional surfing sucks and is a hoax.

If you had of said before the event that Bede would make the semi's and Dion Atkinson the quarters, you would have been called nuts. Really surprised at how well they have performed. Same with Kolohe.

How about that monster he took off on this morning?! Would have been a 12pt ride if he made it out.
It looked like Andy v Bruce in a freesurf.

JJF's last wave called a 9.87??? Sure it was big and a nice steep drop, though he never disappeared behind the curtain. The commentators were jizzing all over it as well 3-)

No doubt the guy has balls of steel and talent to boot, but I'm sure even he thought it was overcooked.

Is that the highest combined score for a heat ever? (JJF vs KS)

edit: and KS with 4 heats over 19

90k people watching.
Sorry, 89,999. Fong IS NOT INTERESTED.

Wonder how the cashflow compares for this event, given they are making bupkis from local spectators.

He really stepped it up a notch in the final and Kelly made uncharacteristic mistakes. Well deserved win by Medina.
JJF vs KS was something special.

Don't get me wrong, I think Medina deserved to win the heat.

But in the context of the scores they'd already given out Slater deserved to get the score on his last wave.

John John did too.
