Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
Well it seems as if Johnny's gonna have to do it the hard way. There is a chance Pipe will be shit, and by "shit" I mean classic December during a La Nina event -- one or two OK days and the rest wonky shit with a bad sandbar.
But the seedings should put JJF and Gabriel on the same side of the draw. Which means a possible semi-final for a world title.
Given Gabriel's and Johnny's opposing fan bases, it might just remind the League of the value of a crowd.

If the title is decided by an air at crap 3 foot pipe I’m going to cry.
Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
Imagine if it gets decided by jujitsu and baseball bats in the car park!
Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
I read Shearer's comments about the gap in both ard skills and soft skills between the top few contenders and everyone else.
I dont get how only Gabby, JJF, Toledo and maybe one or 2 others can alley oop. There appears little commitment from the tour surfers to improve their repertoires (or use them).

Gabesy Babe is going to cop awesome stink-eye from North Shore heavies! Maybe there'll even be words! He won't be phased! John John is the one who'll crumble.

JJF by a couple of hairs.
The ones on his chin.

It would be hard to live down if he doesn’t.

If it is shitty Pipe, Gabs would be the easy favourite over JJF.
As it is most likely shitty Pipe, ....

Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
Most likely? How do you know what Pipe will be like on the 8 december foamy? You a weather god or some such?
Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
Because that's what Nick said in another forum.black duck wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:30 pmMost likely? How do you know what Pipe will be like on the 8 december foamy? You a weather god or some such?
Early December, La Nina - Nick has examined the chicken entrails and apparently the auguries are not good.
Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
Oh crap, maybe it's the eugaries that Nick says don't augur well. You'd think pipis would know what's happening surfwise.

Re: Rip Curl Pro Portugal 2017
It's the purple-ness of the aubergines in October that determines the swell for pipe in December, everyone knows that. Get with the programme. Examine your aubergines.
