Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Well, not all rail turns Dav. Some of the hacks that JJF does carry nearly as much risk factor as a big air. But how often do you see a pro fall on the ones that Turpel calls a big down carve? Almost never
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
That drift Jordy did in his 'perfect' heat was next-level.
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
No they don't fall. For them the carves are pretty much sexed up transition turns.godsavethequeen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 6:18 pmWell, not all rail turns Dav.

My fcuken god almighty it is Pumping here right now. I'm trying to write a story in a room overlooking Supertubes and I've had to turn the computer around so I can't look at the surf.
Fcuk! Parko just got about a 15sec barrel from the top of Supers down to the end. Flicked off and he's just sitting there.

Toledo was crazy in the final heats. Managed to get the last two heats on the TV.Davros wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 6:02 pmWhy did Toledo dye his hair gray. Brother from one grey man to another, stay raven as long as you can. Stay raven.
God he's ripping, hows his set up bottom turn. Great
That's an interesting point equating a rail turn to a safety turn. Don't disagree and an interesting point to ponder.

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
How about this.......why does the scoring have to have a ceiling?
Ten could be a benchmark, but could go a little higher if the ride warrants it.
Very good Trev

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
I supect the WSL wants an easy-to-comprehend narrative for the elusive masses in Dumbshit, Indiana who are all poised to adopt surfing as their favourite pastime. Ditch the ten as the acme and you end up in a dark new world of unwanted explanations

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
The 0.01 is derived from the 0.1 differential. 5 judges score. Highest and lowest discarded. Score is the mean of the 3 retained
Eg. 9.1 8.9 9.1 9.2 9.3
8.9 & 9.3 discarded
(9.1 + 9.1 + 9.2) / 3 = 9.13
You are welcome

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
What is sometimes more interesting is the range of scores from the judges eg Freds second counted wave in the final had scores of 9.8, 9.2, 9.5, 9.5, 8.8 (looks low).
So the 9.8 and 8.8 were dropped for wave score of 9.4

digits shmigits. i dug the purity vs creativity narrative.
Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Is the answer to the 10 dilemna to set an event benchmark for something considered nearly impossible.
You want a 10 at J Bay? A 10 second barrel past impossibles or 2 Oops plus 6 turns on one wave.
You want an 7? 6 - 7 turns, all committed nd all different.
Anything less than that starts with a 4.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
I have to say I liked the fact Telodo seemed to surf a lot more top to bottom (and above) than say JJ who seems to like to hang mid face to top.

Re: J-Bay Pro 2017
Please remember me giving him a wrap for his performance at Margaret.
The other question of course with all these 0.05 score differences is unconscious bias. Does the fact that he died his hair light change how we see his performance?
Does Toledo thinking that improve his performance?
Are blondes getting an edge?
