Can not really bag them too much - its not often they have had the chance to surf waves like this on tour - last year was the first time really. Its pretty difficult out there.

Just saw the kings heat - wow - he was on fire. Will be a good heat against Owen in round 4 !

just watched all the heats from today at the box , unreal !! John John ,as one commentator said was making it look easy, i think he was right , a couple of 7s !!!

but he gets so deep in the barrel and just stands up straight , scratches his leg and get spat out . the judges need reeming !! the previous 2 days have been good as well .

the girls surfing triple overhead main break !!!!!!! and lumpy . they are unreal !!!

but then they showed slaters wave at main break !!!!!!! un****ing beleivable !!!!! double barrel at main break !!!! finishes with a rentry in the barrel in the

shorebreak and surfs out of it !!!!!!

i am loving heats on demand !!!! best thing since SUP !!!!

bigger tomorrow !!!!

2015 , margies will produce some epic video to be enjoyed for years to come

Margaret's is a deceptively heavy wave at size. Makes me laugh reading overseAs websites that say it's lame compare to the box. Paddle out there at that size and see what happens!

Looking good there this morning. Top turn mania out there.

Edit - JJF just went off on that last one. Incredible.

Board carnage day

Just loving watch KS surf. He just looks like he is surfing a different break than the others at time

**** surfing from Kelly...still can't believe they are going right...I surfed margs regualarly for about 10 years and once it got over about 3 foot I only went right be accident

that was the first one they coped on the head , there was two more !!!!

yeah its huge !!!! Taj B did good today .......

i wonder will they have the final at the box , or at main break ?

those crew are incredibly gutsty even to get in the water , its so big and to go right and get smashed in the shorebreak .... no way !!!!

i really like the way JJ Flo surfs the box...... the kid is super human and casual .......

Ted the Kiwi said..
I disagree SandS. JJF is not human

you may be correct ... from planet tubeoid

Remarkable that Australia has 3 events to kick off the tour,thats some serious time to be away from home.

Womens event is up and going strong. Running right through for a finish today..

SF and CM about to hit the water for the first Semi

Eeeeergh, Sally does that so often!!! Surfed so good all event and then comes up against Carissa and is beaten by herself...

I think thats the difference with Steph and Carissa, the mental toughness when it counts...

Is there any reason that Peter Mel sits on a board for these water based interviews? Are they saving money? Surely he could just be on a jetski - they use one to video him whilst talking anyway.

It adds authenticity bro...sheesh...I would prefer to see Rosy Hodge out there in a bikini...she frightens and excites me equal measure

Shame its so cold over there Tux

Its still a reasonable view bro!!

Help me what are we looking at in terms of the wetsuit?

Oh and have they crowned a women's champion ?
