Plenty of talk about whether the girls get sent out tomorrow. Some interesting comments from Maurice Cole here.

10-12’ @ 17 seconds with a 40 knot cross-onshore. Gonna be an interesting day.

Nick, why have no heats run yet? :-?
They were waiting for me to finish my morning surf.

Nah there was some conversation about maybe moving to Winki and they had to talk the women through the overlapping heat thing.

If I hear “50 year storm” again I’m gonna fly down to Bells and start punching people.

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.

Far out, it’s only gonna be 10-12ft. It’s getting fully over-hyped.

WTF is wrong with Julian? Looks like he doesn't even want to be there. Kelly surfs the wave and he just goes for half-arsed airs.

I reckon I might have had a fair chance at beating Julian riding a mini-mal out there.

Yep, that was really ordinary. Happy that Slater gets to surf the bigger stuff though.

Oh and just as well you blokes didn’t set out on the road trip, it’s so crowded here today that they’ve actually closed the road.

Can't see it happening any year until he sorts his mind out. Just doesn't seem to have any mongrel on a consistent basis. How many heats has he thrown away in the past because he's just sat their waiting for a perfect wave that's never going to come whilst his brazzo opponents will chase waves like men possessed? Chopes last year, needed what, a 1.5 or something to progress out of round 2? Could have caught any sloppy ripple and got the score but sat there waiting while the clock ran down. And he ended up coming within a heat or so of the world title.

It's got nothing to do with mind. It's just statistically almost impossible. Nobody's won a world title with two 17ths as throwaways. Only one person (Kelly 2010) has won with one 17th as a throwaway.
