RC loves those Brazo's !

pfffft it was a lottery out there...geez there was a good chance I could have won a few heats it was that bad

Yeah, it's a joke. I thought it was supposed to be the best surfers in the best waves and whoever surfs better wins.
Definitely not the dream tour anymore..

Bring on Tahiti..

Yeah I agree all round. Beachies suck as a general rule unless they are at places like Hossegor or Porto where you know you are going to get good banks on most tides provided there is some swell.

As for Parko - I reckon he is lucky to have stayed around this long Mac. I believe that he is one of the most stylish surfers of all time - but if you have a look at what he is doing on a wave compared to new kids then he is a long way behind these days. Even MF has tried to enlist an air-game into his repertoire in recent times. Parko just has no idea about that stuff. When the surf is pumping he has every chance to win still - big J-Bay, Clouds, Bells etc but when the comps are on in crappy waves then he pretty much does not stand a chance anymore. Its a sad state of affairs I recond. The comps should be held in great waves. Not crap locations. There are so many good waves around the place yet they persist in hunting down the live audiences. I guess until they work out how they are going to monetise their on-line content then the comps will have to be held in a combination of good waves locations and high populations locations.

yep 1 star huey event in 5 star waves in Bali and 5 star wsl event held in 1 star waves in Rio, makes you wonder who they're catering to.watched bit of round one then gave it the flick

go back to indo at this time of year ,cant really go wrong.... very well said ted on parko

I thought parko was a standout during the margs contest especially when it was run in huge main break. He still didn't do well in the comp though

So FT wins it on home soil in waves that Parko has no chance in. Looks like 2 other Brazo's want the glory that Gab had last year. Ahhhhh lets hope not

Whos ft?. Im not a pro groupie

Parko has defo lost his mojo since the title

Not as badly though as Gab M ! Wow - he has been brought back to earth in recent times.

Who says Parko has no air game?

At least we didn't see him "Claiming" the move

Ahhhh the joy of womens surfing...a solid sets come through and they both decide not to paddle for it...a wave half the size comes through and they are all over it...

Really? When I watched margs I thought the girls were paddling for some bombs. They did not seem.to go hiding.

I think it depends who's in the heat bro...when Fitzy, Charrissa and the Steph are in they will just go but a lot of the other ladies still hestitate IMO

agree with you Tux the girls have been going for it.

SF just ruptured her Ear drum on the last wave of her heat 2. Patched up and surfed round three and won through to Round 5

It's on. But the swell has yet to arrive.
