Good one. Just a bit of fun. to be honest I didn't dig into it too deep. I guess if you know the competitors you have to base choices on who's getting through earlier rounds. yeah agree re maria. She commits! I struggled not to pick her.

it's all for fun tho.

as it's only 2 of us I'll keep the scores in an excel doc. see where it all lands. will be watching via Surfline when I can.

Well at least I might end second. Come on everyone, it's just for fun and in Margs, anything can happen so nobody has a clue anyway.

Live scorer has 12 minutes on the countdown. Lineup looks cleared...

Fair to say Jake Ghiretti was on fire in his pro junior heat. Stomped huge airs, was drifting his tail in critical sections and came in a minute early after destroying the lineup with wave scores over 8

Yeah those wave scores really stood out, in both heats so great to see. Hope we get some footage later. There's a few clips on Insta, but only seconds long.

I watched on Surfline in realtime. His rides really stood out compared to everyone else on the day. Possibly looked better than the closeups posted on socials even though the quality on Surfline is not as good.

tomorrows forecast looks good.

Winner!!!! ptsf1111 - 204.79 well done mate
Gestalt - 182.42

interesting to try. I need to think it through so if you have any suggestion let me know..i excluded the redemption as it skews points toward those not making it through the main round and as we're trying to pick winners that seems counter intuitive.

such a great comp. Professional coverage and performances. Jaeger showed his class with the wave in the final where he hit big lips and gouged a Jon Jon Florence esk top turn, was next level.

Sarah and Jake gave it everything and deserved the wins. Exciting for them. Sarah was always on the best waves..Jake's airs could be mistaken for Jaegers. How good is that stone board.
So many other good moments and like last year, some unlucky sailors. Koster and Salmon were unlucky

why the hell is no-one talking about the event. If it's a 5 star next year everyone there this year has an edge.

Haha, thanks!

The event was brilliant. Amazing heats and how close was that women's final!

The live stream made it feel like a 5 star already, nice little chats with the participants as well for some insights. And as always, great drone flying by PVB.

Go watch the recording, I promise it's better than most things on Netflix. Some super gnarly wipeouts and Julian's wave 360 was massive.

Agree. Was excellent. Commentary worked so well. Footage was excellent too. Reminded me of Fiji at times.

the organisers got the program and forecasting right too. Finals had the best conditions

Yeah great conditions, bit choppy on some of the waves but there were cleaner ones as well. Looked a bit average initially, but it got better and better during the day. They nailed it!

Spectacular! Well done mate!
