yeah, I reckon they should have a go tomorrow if theres something consistent enough, not looking too good for anything real serious, but what is a concern is old Louies man boobs and guts, looks like he has been in a good paddock of late....and he is no longer with his old missus, she is a stunner I reckon.....

I'm really hoping that they have a crack on Saturday. I have the perfect opportunity to kick back at 3am with my bodyweight in coffee with the live-feed on the net.

What's your prediction for Saturday?

Also, do anyone see the lone guy surfing shoulder/head-high waves to himself about 7:50am their time? He must've been pinching himself to score it alone with that many pros lurking about, regardless of the conditions.

There's some recent discussion on the forecast on Swellnet....here.

http://www.swellnet.com.au/news/779-fis ... labong-pro

I still reckon they'll get underway Sunday (possibly afternoon - Tahiti time) with the latest 18z GFS model still indicating something in the 4-5ft+ range me thinks. And this should slowly wane into Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday so me thinks they'll run the event in it's entirety from Sunday onwards.

There's a chance of some longer period stuff from the due south on Friday (next week) and beyond but GFS has been backflipping on this with each model run.
