truely a pathetic webcast from a pathetic company...carnt even get results beyond heat 9....we all know the reason for no event last year had nothing to do with political unrest,,, but everything to do with globe not having enough cash to put it on....from signing top 45 guys to big dollar deals, on the eve of there failure to remain on the elite tour(noods), to the treatment of wqs team surfers beau mitchell,,,,, what a disgrace,KOOOOKS ALL OF THEM

Am I like the majority of expecting viewers in that cant even get live page loaded at all now ........

P.s Its amazing how good you can get at mind surfing while you listen to the commentators while the camera man focuses in on the big boat in the channel for 30 secs.....top notch stuff !!

Bells was bad but this one is a shocker. Not only is the webcam not working but you cannot scroll the results.

As for the design, well it's probably designed in the time honoured tradition of surf movies...you know, junior editor required, no pay but you'll get experience.

really shitty coverage , I agree but geez the waves look good, very contestable and seeing how I was there 10 days ago just makes me wanna go back....be great to see a Fijian get thru 1 round, they are the nicest people on the planet.

Can't keep letting the spelling errors pass without throwing you a slap!

'Their', NOT 'there'-OK-sheesh, all those education dollars wasted by your old man.

Can't help it , I must say again the EVENT LABELLED " sickest event on the planet" has had the worst freakin webcast ever witnessed by the surfing public !!!! That's if you have been able to witness it at all between dropouts , reconnects , water shots or no connection what so ever ................
Well done GLOBE for employing WETSANDS !!!!
Can only hope billabong does the same for Jbay .

Post by **pridmore** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 1:29 pm

surfed with Gordon the other day and he also said the web-cast was very poor, so I doubt Billabong would have anything to do with Wetsand.....
