Re: Billabong Pro Tahiti 2015

Not even a token 0.7 for an attempted take off?
Sounds like he paddled out to just watch the other guy surf.

Re: Billabong Pro Tahiti 2015

I wasn't watching Toledo's Round 5 heat. Why did he have a final score of zero?

Re: Ask Carroll

Nick,

Will Jarryd Hayne make the San Francisco 49'ers roster when they finally trim it down?

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Surely its not too much to ask to grab a few waves at somewhere like The Pass without becoming a meal for some over zealous marine creature. Thanks There's more of a risk of being run over at The Pass by a Euro-kook on a hired mal. Well that's considered more of a dead certainty, so I measure that ...

Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

Not really wanting to start yet another thread on sharks (yes I'm practically rolling my eyes too) but I'm heading to Nth NSW next week for several days of surfing. Every day there seems to be mass evacuations from the water due to sharks. Random sightings I am comfortable with, but this is getting ...

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

Surfed a local point this morning. GWS spotted near there just after I got out. Cops and boats cleared the water, beaches closed again. Head high point surf with clear warm water on a sunny day with no-one in the water. Can't pretend this isn't happening. According to "Ballina Shark Reports" on FB,...

Re: Ask Carroll

Hi Nick,

Not sure if this has been asked amidst all the drama this week, but do you think Mick and/or Julian will compete in Tahiti in 3 weeks time?
Only they would know the answer for sure, but what's your guess?

Cheers

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

Contrary to my first reaction thinking that this would land another blow for J Bay hosting the event going forward (as they are already without a major sponsor), could this whole situation actually attract sponsor dollars for next year? You can bet a heap of people will be tuning in, given what view...

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

Gee how nice to see Redbull looking after the wellbeing of their team riders with a low key transition through Sydney airport. May as well have been the Redbull factory.

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

So, the question is, does Mick bounce back in time for Tahiti and power home for the rest of the season, or is he too rattled? Fair enough if its the latter, but hope its the former.

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

Is this possibly a major (or the final) blow to J Bay being on the tour beyond this year? Already has no major sponsor. They'll now have to content with insurance companies refusing to cover it, or forking out the cash for the South African Navy Seals to deploy an army of scuba divers with rocket pr...

Re: Jeffreys Bay Pro 2015

Bit of a rort that they each had to settle for 2nd place. Whoever won that final would have been leading the rankings. Surely they could have gone halfway and given each 9000 points.
Just means if DeSouza wins the title by a nose, it'll always have an asterisk against it.

The call delayed by another 55 mins. Clinging on in desperation or do they know precisely when decent waves are going to hit?

Re: Ask Carroll

Nick, Which 2 Kardashian sisters would you like to see take on each other in a fight to the death, and why? Best question ever! Secretly film them fighting over dad's high heels and turn it into a reality show. 50 cent can promote it and slo-mo replays cost extra. Firstly, it was a trick question. ...

Yeah I get that impression too. He deserves his current ranking, but geez I wanted him to get bumped out to give guys like Owen a solid crack at the top for the back half of the season. Ditto for Toledo. By that I meant for Toledo to get knocked out too, not for him to be at the top. He's made watc...
