You better fcuking go for it Revvo, who gives a sh.it about the crowds/size etc... as mical says it's Pipe.

Revo have you surfed on the North Shore yet?

You can't count surfing in town in your 21 surfs tally.

Todays is about as small as it gets and still be considered Pipe.

I keep dropping out and have to wait a few mins or reset my cable router...Is that my Optus service *** it (CABLE) or the Billabong site? The wireless holds up ok - signal strength excellent.
And I agree about Occys cringe commentary but ya have to love an aussie dag and Occy is that!!

Sorry, I'm too stoned to word my sarcasm correctly :?

So are they going to let you get at least ONE surf in at a spot where it's got some juice?

Im not denying it. Personally with the situation of my trip id prefer to have 4-6ft waves instead of 20-25ft waves.

Unless the consistency factor in the swell ramps up a touch (looking at the charts I'm not sure it's going too), I think there could be some serious upsets come Rd 3!!!

It's not epic Pipe, that's for sure.....and very tough to get a good score, considering the judges are ONLY scoring barrels, and long deep ones at that.
