You had never heard of Mister Pipeline?!

does that mean you never watched North Shore either? U got some work to do if you don't want to be some wrinkled up old geezer 40 years old watching a surf contest on TV

Nope. Too young. Never surfed.
I have seen this clip where he says robbie is better than he is.. he was probably being nice. All surfers look the same to me but that gerry is very stylish and relaxed looking. They talk in the doco about him making the drop of pipe and then casually scratching his nose before doing a turn when everyone else was ****ting themselves .


Robbie sailing pipe was pretty impressive i thought
