Do any if you junkies think there is anyone outside of the wct top echelon could have surfed those waves better? I think not. Postponing the wct at cloudbreak last year was worth it to witness what big wave specialists could do in those conditions but what went down this week was the best display of...

Don't get me wrong, I think Medina deserved to win the heat. But in the context of the scores they'd already given out Slater deserved to get the score on his last wave. John John did too. No he didn't. Gabs waves were far better than slaters. Compare Gabs first wave to slaters last. IMO gabs was b...

Fwiw I think go pros are mainly used by narcissistic twats and produce nauseating and poorly focused footage that they should be ashamed to show their grandmother. But with 15k on the line, a headline sponsorship of the event and the athlete, who is smart enough to use social media to his own end, ...

[quote="Nick Carroll"]romaK what are you talking about, GoPro SELLS to Joe Public. They just do it by tricking Joe Public into thinking they're gonna shoot stuff like a surf star or ski star or ace cyclist or diver who swims with Great White sharks, or some lunatic who jumps off cliffs with a wing s...

Ah I think it's kind of a motherhood statement, it feels a bit oddly disconnected from surfing to me, like a bit slow - GoPro feels a bit more in touch with the actual feel of surfing. But they're trying to tell a story of some kind, good luck to 'em. GoPro don't need to connect with joe public. Th...

Good evening Nicholas, I can't make asre nor tail of this samsung vid linking it's involvement with surfing. http://m.androidcentral.com/samsungs-latest-ad-follows-surfing-professionals Can you shed any light? On a seperate note the comments are pretty funny but also pretty interesting in gauging a ...

Two things: it came to light that AI did want to come clean about his problems in public. In fact he wanted to make some kind of statement via a documentary to try and help others. Why did this not happen? If AI wanted to get clean that's one thing. Come clean to those close to him would have been ...

Mate comparing lance to AI is pretty poor. Not even worth going into the differences. Your take on a journalists role in the AI thing has nothing to do with AI's well being. It's about being the man on the spot and bringing the nasty corpos to account. I am with you in that his sponsors etc had the...

[quote="steve Mate, if it wasn't for the ferocious, fearless reporting and investigating of a few journos Lance Armstrong would still be standing on the podium claiming Tour De Frances and saying he was clean. You understand the role of journalists? They are supposed to go behind the public relatio...

2 guys. They were getting seriously worked but were not out of place. They scored some gems too. Judging by fitness and skill they knew what they were doing.

The sea was angry that day my friends.

Saturday morning out back of narra car park. Big and blustery. 3 tow crew and 2 by paddle power . All were fully in tune and putting on a show.

Apologies for photoshopping the phuk out of the photo.

Wish joe would stop saying how 'timeless' and 'classic' occys style is. It was. It's not now.

Probably right but that was the performance of the day so far.

They must be saving some room for hollower bazzas as the tide drops. This is for Joel mick or Wilko to lose. Interested to see what gab has up his sleeve

You're not addressing the fact that he's 65 or some ridiculous age. Yeah mentally he may be slightly off but I reakon that's due to the fact that at his age his body is finally showing it. That in itself probably making him frustrated, pushing beyond his capabilities. Blowing moves he would have mad...

Anyone read about the asp cutting the number of wildcards into the pipe main draw down to only 2? Instead they are running a full on qualifying comp and paying serious coin to all Hawaiians entering into it. Spreading $100k of love around. Sounds like they are seriously buying the locals approval. I...

Unless u actually surf the joint there's no point getting all up in arms about any of it. U May as well get upset about clubbies taking control of breaks. It's pointless. If these crazy mofos wanna risk their necks surfing that joint, then let em get paid. And Don't drink Red Bull if u don't like t...
