Some abalone divers have been smashed while carting around the industrial grade SS.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
I hadn't even thought about it! well caught hollowed. I'm not sure of Shark Shield's range but that shark didn't seem overly stressed and even showed mild curiosity when it was first approached. I'll see if I can have a chat to the ski driver who tracked the animal and get his read on it.Hollowed out wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 10:28 amRustt, I was sure I heard a commentator say the jet skis were fitted with Shark Shield technology. If so the images of that shark chilling out around and even under the ski is pretty clear evidence that SS is a hoax. All previous 'testing' stuff from SS is highly ambiguous and the latest images are pretty unique and based on SS propaganda the shark should have freaked out or at least been repelled in an obvious manner.
Not sure if Nick will comment based on little bros hip pocket but someone must have picked up on this.

But in the context of that heat, I'd have expected anywhere from 8-9, so either way for the result I guess.

Seems it isn't just the judges that are overly excited about his surfing.

Boo used to charge me $5.00 per correction when he used to proof my work.

That's how I paid off my home loan in 4 years, and you can do it too!
Just send $4000 to [email protected] and I'll tell you how!

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Toledo has the place wired. Sick of the claims, but the kid rips.
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Toledo just did to Jordy what I would do to Nick if me and him ever surfed Newport together. Destroy him and leave him floating there like a stunned mullet.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
In gymnastics (Olympic stuff), they ended up with everyone getting 10s. So they had to reset the whole scoring system. Although of course gymnastics is easier to score, in a sense, because you know exactly what they are trying to do before they even start (and then you judge against what they were aiming to do).
Nick, should kelly be hired as a judge (well, assuming he wont be back this season)
What about as an announcer?
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Now, if Toledo was up against Jordy sitting on a perfect 20 and Toledo only had a 9.5 in the bank and then performed that 10 again, WSL would be forced to change something. As it stands we're going to see the same issues that we've seen for years coming up.Nick Carroll wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 2:07 pmhttp://www.coastalwatch.com/surfing/218 ... 10-barrierbuddy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 7:46 amJust watched the replay of JJ & fred waves.

I would love to read the Brazzo comments on Facebook though.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
They should institute a no claim bonus in the scoring. I don't want to watch a final full of claiming
Erase.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
A lot of the problem is that they're giving 10s for surfing that is neat, precise but (for a pro) not overly difficult. The over-promotion of rail work a few years ago, which to me seemed like a sledgehammer/nut way of granting ongoing relevance to a generation of pros unable to match the new breed of aerialist, has led us to this ridiculous situation where a safety carve has the same value as a massive alley-oop. No seismic change to the mechanism of the scoring system is needed, they just need to give 8s and nothing more to well-surfed waves with no critical turns and reserve the upper two points in the range for the really mental shit. I'm not holding my breath though
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Why did Toledo dye his hair gray. Brother from one grey man to another, stay raven as long as you can. Stay raven.
God he's ripping, hows his set up bottom turn. Great
That's an interesting point equating a rail turn to a safety turn. Don't disagree and an interesting point to ponder.
