true. the death of surfing was awarding Dane a 7.33 at haleiwa for the biggest, gnarliest turn i've ever seen in my life. it was a 10, perhaps the only positive real 10, i've ever seen in a contest.

I would give you a 10 for that usage of commas, crabmeat. Speed, power, flow, variety of repertoire. It had everything!
thank you, this means the world to me!

i've worked really hard in the offseason with my commas. I'd also like to really thank my comma coaches, Tracey and Stacey, i couldn't have done this without them. every day they show me the way and, teach me not just to be a better user of commas, but to also be a better person.

and lastly, i'd like to thank my sponsors. Farmer's Union Iced Coffee. you guys rock. you've been with me since day one, and you've always believed in me, and that belief has made me who am today. and also i'd like to thank grosby who have been supplying me slippers ever since i was a grom. you guys keep my feet toasty and without that i couldn't let fly with the commas like i do.

Those big fkukk off hacking, cubic metres of water moving things he does are a billion times better than just about everything most pros do now.

The turning point was a few years ago when they neutered the one-manoeuvre Hail Mary. Although well intentioned, all it actually did was usher in blandly homogeneous rail surfing across the pack.
Though, a full rotation above the lip aerial has been still getting people a mostly guaranteed 10. Like Italo's one manoeuvre wave at Snapper last year.

Tricks for applause. Style and power for respect.

If you don't like aerials, I don't think there's much to complain about with WSL heat surfing.
They do big turns. Unless they spray buckets, they don't get much of a score.

It's been a problem for a while.

Jordy's perfect heat at JBay.

Cloudbreak on the big day.

No GLand. Fiji & JBay always on and off tour.

If the WSL were serious, they should have a comp at Lennox.
