Kellysboards look jittery. Italo was insane and Jack Robinson too. What’s with the bleached hair?
Funny for an introvert. Works for someone like Italo.

Great to see Ethan win. Plus an all AussieFinal.

Nice, but they aren’t representing Australia. It’s like professional tennis. Can’t get too jingoistic about pro surfing but, I’m sure we’ll try to fly the Aussie Battler flag, sing We Are Australia and recite Bango Patterson none the less

I agree Thud.
Jingoism in pro surfing is just weird.

Well, yeah, but it’s part of the whole thing and obviously part of marketing. No more than tennis. I struggle with Jack Robbos attitude a bit and have a bit SE Queensland pride in Ethan doing okay.

Is it part of it? The Brazzers carry on but, that’s boarding on weird. It’s a us vs. everyone else.
Fair point on SEQ.

Nice name drop, Steve
I ain't got a jingoistic bone in my body but it wasn't possible to watch that Final without something like nationalistic pride thudding in my throat.

You better change your password then Steve, someone with your login has been making a goose of themselves in the NRL thread.

Oh, that's QLD parochialism.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
yes.
I have a potent counter-argument to that relying on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's theories on localism/regionalism.
But I'll keep it shelved for now.
Leej would likely get exercised and see casual racism in the view.

"Taleb has described his main challenge as mapping his ideas of "robustification" and "antifragility", that is, how to live and act in a world we do not understand and build robustness to black swan events. Taleb introduced the idea of the "fourth quadrant" in the exposure domain.[69] One of its applications is in his definition of the most effective (that is, least fragile) risk management approach: what he calls the "barbell strategy" which is based on avoiding the middle in favor of linear combination of extremes, across all domains from politics to economics to one's personal life. These are deemed by Taleb to be more robust to estimation errors. For instance, he suggests that investing money in 'medium risk' investments is pointless, because risk is difficult, if not impossible to compute. His preferred strategy is to be both hyper-conservative and hyper-aggressive at the same time. For example, an investor might put 80 to 90% of their money in extremely safe instruments, such as treasury bills, with the remainder going into highly risky and diversified speculative bets. An alternative suggestion is to engage in highly speculative bets with a limited downside."
