She’s a bitch of a wave. Some are super smooth and open, others are steppy and clamping. Connor got bitch slapped on that last one.

Luke Egan was good too.
He's not at Margs though?

Luke owns Commne at Keramas doesn't he?
I don't mind the commentary that much and it's always good to see Strides freezing his butt off out in the line up. Brazilians killed it yesterday while I was watching.

Well, they made their excuses for yesterday. The good raps he's been getting are worth more than the score though. Speaking of raps.....some people were a bit nasty to Nick over on Coastalwatch over his rap about Stephs 10 Pointer at Keramas..

I did think that Nick’s statement “Steph Gilmore is head and shoulders the best Australian surfer today, maybe the best in the world” needed some pretty significant caveats.

My observations from the peanut gallery.
Steph has not developed any confidence in waves of consequence. She has no air game.
And the big one, Steph has a weak backhand which she seems to have no interest in improving.

Sure, if you don’t want to see airs and on up to 5 foot (iggy scale) point-style righthanders, there is no one I would rather watch surf.

Well of course there's who you like watching surf and who is demonstrably the most talented.

Uh-oh. There’s “wildlife” in the lineup. Here we go again.
