Is there any swell forecast for the event at this early stage?

you want the storm track SE of New Zealand to fire, with storms forced from deep below the South Island almost up to sub-tropical lats in a direct line SW/NE beside NZ.

End of the model runs look promising enough.

Yep looks like surfable conditions from the get go with some solid swell peaking around 18th/19th Tahiti time. 19th could be very fecking solid. But still a long way out.

ASP says 'Filipe Toledo has withdrawn from the competition due to an injury he sustained at the Mr Price Pro Ballito ASP QS Prime-rated event in July', but then he won US Open didn't he? What's that about?

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Well if he really is in Tahiti then I guess this is a chance for Fong to blow us all away with his highly nuanced investigative coverage of the event.

Yesterday at Teahupoo. I talk with a girl, she have the mom dog and i have her puppy Bro. The girl was so happy to see Bro. But also very sad, when she told me this horrible story her mum dog. The day before a guy took her dog and and a sling and killed her at Teahupoo. Put her on the tree or somewhere (I didn't like to asked to much) and make a movie about that. People saw that, but nobody cares. At this during the Billabong over there. I m shocked, angry and sad about this horrible story and she was my puppy mum and a very nice dog.

They say it progresses. First it's just a can, then a cat or dog. Lookout Claudia, Fong's a fcuken psychopath
