the whole entire wsl webcast could abandon the surfing and just follow nick around, while we torment him with his electro-shock cat collar. which of course will have some fabulous diamantes emblazoned on it to compliment his scarf.

No apostrophe required for Teahupoo.

That is an incorrect spelling that leads to an incorrect pronunciation.

Normally all vowel sounds are distinct in polynesian languages but in this case the final syllable is pronounced oo, not oh-oh

Have I mentioned the correct pronunciation of Quinoa?
This needs to be sorted out on the South American leg of the tour this year.

Doesn't Loofy do this already?

Loofy calls it friendship, Nick calls it stalking.

[quote="alakaboo}

They should just have a meeting with the surfers and say that they need to really make the judges lose control of their bodily functions to get a 9[/quote]

Great idea, no need for endless replays the judges just check their undies "oh yeah baby, that's a 9.33 for sure, gets me every time"

I"d love to see the top surfers break protocol in big waves at Bells or Jbay and grab a 6"9 black beauty and show us real big carving turns like Curren back in the day
