Trails on now, Mens final starts soon. Jordy Smith has been on fire the smorning and is in the final. I would like to see him get the wildcard to see how he goes against the big boys, even tho im not a huge fan of his air grab style....but he certainly punts alot.

i have high expectations of both fanning and parko this year... lets hope they can deliver

I think Andy will win the title, hes just to good and always seems to step up when he makes a final. I dont think Slater will go for it this year, should be another interesting year tho. Of Fanning and parko Id rate fanning as more of a threat, Parkos good but hes more of a "pure style master"

EDIT well done Dale! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j6hjRkWZ-8

Yeah I think Andy will win the title. Best surfer in the world at the moment in my books. I have a feeling CJ Hob good will have a big year. I dont think Slater will win it, but I thought that the last two years, he is still amazing but he didnt surf that good last year. He is getting old and his style is starting to falter
Mick has the determination but his repotoire is getting a bit boring in my books. He has an awesome frontside whip off the top but he doesnt have the flare and unpredictablitiy of Parko and Andy.
I think if Parko goes hell for leather and puts everything in and throws himself over the ledge at Chopes/Pipe he could go all the way. I think he is way too lazy though. So talented however

Anyone backing Taj to win it??

Mick just seems to have that little bit more of competitiveness in him... Maybe its that extra drive from the injury he sustained pushing him that little bit more...

anyone else notice dale richards absolutely rip his way to the trials win? he had jordy in each of his 3 heats and beat him twice to win. 18yo snapper grom with lotsa power and style.

got any footage?

i seen that kid surf first hand Wanto.



had a great time just watchin'

And he does it on Dave's boards

[lovenutz]

he rips kinda like a natural footed machado. when he gets a bit older he will get more power and rip even harder
hope he does well be good to see a Koori kid do well on the tour.

Go the GINGER. He'll shake em up this year. Look out if him and Andy are in the same heat.

bugger took a bit to find the site (given the net's farked at me work atm);

anyways looks like it might be on tomorrow given their prediction:

"With a promising forecast on the horizon, the action could hit as early as tomorrow morning."

so if it's on that'd mean Dale v AnIdiot will be on some time in the morning
can't wait hope the nets magically fixed itself by then

[munch]

Lay Day, which is good cause the net ain't fixed itself yet

In great surfer style the event status has been put up for today at:

"updated:6:30 am 29th Feb, 2007"

anyways it's on ... started about 7 minutes ago

[thermalben]

Actually Munch, it doesn't start for another 45mins - Qld is 1 hour behind NSW. Plenty of time to grab some popcorn

Though I'm thinking your a pedantic phallus, you are correct once again

And on further checking the 29th of Feb does exist, just not this year but next, so by that assumption Qld is 1 hour behind + 365+1 days ahead


Best of luck to all the aussie boyz

Kai Otton won his first heat on the WCT beating Damien Hobgood and Lowey. GO MANLY!!!!
