Re: Kelly's wave.
Seems to be more than a few who attended the WSL thingy are absolutely frothing over the mechanical wave.

The same frothers also probably know the biting the hand thay feeds you, particularly when/if the tour numbers shrink dramatically, isnt the smartest move.

Me too. He's spilt a few beans too.
At 15 waves per hour the economics (for a commercial venture) won't stack up.

I just learned that Karl Wallinger is Welsh! It's kind of a German-sounding name though.
Re: Kelly's wave.
Last night we had a Yeats appreciation night at our bar and Wallinger came up a few times in conversation around the stage.
Re: Kelly's wave.
It was a pretty fun night. Some very passionate poetry lovers getting drunk together and struggling to remember words. I think there might have even been a fist fight over some misheard something in "Second Coming". Luckily I was lying behind the bar by then thinking about the best way to communicate with John John Florence on the topic of the need for him to learn how to do a proper roundhouse cutback.

How are his monkey arms these days, lucky al? I remember steve and I taking great delight in this simian chink in the Florence armour, but that was a long time ago

Hang on, your bar is the epicenter of appreciation for the poetry of Yeats in Vietnam?Lucky Al wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2017 11:35 amIt was a pretty fun night.

Re: Kelly's wave.
OK so hatchy keeps asking me about the WSL Surf Ranch (for so it is titled) in the Tard thread, adding to his considerable prestige in that competition
On Nov 2 I was invited to the Ranch with a number of other surf journalists to spend the day checking out and riding the pool and also to spend some Quality Time with the new WSL CEO Sophie Goldschmidt
Sadly, in order to attend I had to sign off on an embargo document which prevents me from reporting on the experience for a couple of months. This as I understand it is because they're gonna be doing a few of these invite days for various media etc during that time and they don't want anybody scooping anybody. Exquisite torture for a writer. I had to go through a bit of a process in my head about it. It's not like an embargo has any real force in law but it was either sign it or don't go, and once you've given your word, etc.
So you will just have to wait, I'm writing a longish piece for the Surfer's Journal about the experience and it'll probably inform a lot of other stuff I write about pro surfing in the next few months. I can probs get away with a bit here and say I found it way more fascinating than I expected, that I def understand more about the WSL's plans for it and why they've stuck with investing in pro surfing as a result, and that the experience is not what you think it is from the videos, is super fun and super weird, and while it'd be an unparalleled teaching device for any level of surfer in some surprising ways, is no replacement for just going surfing.
