Veselko deserves the win here. She from ericiera? Rips right points.
Solitude, 1749357954
So what’s the different between this and when it was totally barreling the other day?
Roadkill, 1749357972
Vesalko..pushing it. Sal safe and boring.
Mexican, 1749357974
Nice final move
Solitude, 1749357984
Full as a fat lady’s sock
Solitude, 1749358019
Sal’s ‘safe’ is why she struggles to stay on the CT - it is classic her
DingOZ, 1749358025
The inside rock break not quite ling up. When it does, it's magic.
Lanky Dean, 1749358043
Veselko for the win
southernraw, 1749358105
missed a big first section there Sal.
Roadkill, 1749358135
Best surfer won..easily in the end
southernraw, 1749358147
Yeeha great win for the Portugese chick! Well done.
Solitude, 1749358180
So with 7 events (5 included in final standings) - one win probably won’t quite be enough to make CT these days will it?
DingOZ, 1749358187
She's young, too ...maybe 20?
Lanky Dean, 1749358189
great result
Lanky Dean, 1749358222
Jess has blown a gasket
Solitude, 1749358229
Especially on the women’s side.
Men’s, not sure? Mikey McDonagh proved it wasn’t last year I guess
southernraw, 1749358239
haha indeed @lanky!
Lanky Dean, 1749358271
Just hot steamblowing out the radiator
Solitude, 1749358289
Sally’s been her idol since she was 3
southernraw, 1749358319
onya Sal. What a fucken legend.
basesix, 1749358329
awkward on the glass last time, i'm interested to see how franc comes across this time..
Island Bay, 1749358329
Good on Sal
Lanky Dean, 1749358351
Wow that's cool
Mexican, 1749358380
Sals just a genuinely nice person
DingOZ, 1749358395
Absolute trooper.
Roadkill, 1749358409
Since 3? And she won against her…that is a great outcome. How good is that!
Solitude, 1749358449
It was a joke
Lanky Dean, 1749358461
El Torro
Solitude, 1749358465
(Saying sals been around for a while)
Roadkill, 1749358488
Ha ha…gullible crowd. :)
Mexican, 1749358500
Some grom has probably nicked sals board
Solitude, 1749358511
Jessie mentioned Sal being an idol of hers
Roadkill, 1749358555
It sounded good tbh. Oh well. You should have just run with it.
Solitude, 1749358568
Backhand cutback off
Mexican, 1749358596
Just hope there’s no big lulls
Solitude, 1749358625
Just put these two on the CT already
Island Bay, 1749358647
What was last year's qualifying points cutoff?
Solitude, 1749358683
It’ll be different this year as there’s more events
Lanky Dean, 1749358703
A fan of veselko
Solitude, 1749358742
@IB 14,430 qualified on 4 events counted last year
Lanky Dean, 1749358742

Island Bay, 1749358774
Cheers, sol. 5 out of 7 counting this tear?
Island Bay, 1749358784

Solitude, 1749358812
Yep counting 5 this year mate
Mexican, 1749358828
Humble girl. Thanked everyone. Didn’t make it about herself
Lanky Dean, 1749358836
Wilcox
basesix, 1749358840
jeez her first gush was about sal, her second about her coach.. grateful and bewildered.. came across well.
Solitude, 1749358853
Women: Vahine qualified last with 23,665
Island Bay, 1749358863
An adult
StayAtHome, 1749358873
go Jacob
Solitude, 1749358887
Not sure how many Women make it this year? Still only 5?
Lanky Dean, 1749358932
Hedge firing up Wilcox
Lanky Dean, 1749359044
Bad wave for vaast
Solitude, 1749359078
Richie shocked he’s watching something live
Lanky Dean, 1749359126
Lol@ solitude
J W, 1749359129
@solitude hahahaha
DingOZ, 1749359141
Bit of a pity rock break shorey hasn't turned on.
Mexican, 1749359201
@sol haha thought the same
Lanky Dean, 1749359203
Hasanyone watched the Wilcox movie that came out last year
Kid rips
Solitude, 1749359264
Chippo on wave behind but they decide to film Kauli paddling back out
adsi, 1749359283
Yeh LD he's insane in solid waves, that vid is sick, think he just struggles when its small or gutless.
DingOZ, 1749359302
with this offshore, spray plumes are massive.
Solitude, 1749359313
hmmm maybe he wasn’t or kicked out
Solitude, 1749359346
Jacob safety surfed that
Solitude, 1749359377
Ah I knew he had another one
Lanky Dean, 1749359393
Ye Olde nose poke
poo-man, 1749359405
Good final so far
burleigh, 1749359425
Jacob is boring in comps, fucking nuts in big scary waves.
burleigh, 1749359443
I want Vaast to win
Bnkref, 1749359457
Looks like he’s paddling back very slow
burleigh, 1749359458
actually both these guys are great big wave surfers.
basesix, 1749359462
yeh, Jake's fkd up so many comps, yet obviously rips hell.. he's going safe.. 'appears a little relaxed' says the booth
Mexican, 1749359469
FCS!
Solitude, 1749359470
Agree Burlz, rips but nothing different in normal waves
J W, 1749359486
FIN PLUG
Solitude, 1749359494
Makes some howler decisions on the CT
Mexican, 1749359514
Has Rich mentioned Futures?
southernraw, 1749359536
Jacob was ripping through the rounds in the smaller stuff burleigh. You been watching the same comp?
burleigh, 1749359580
He's nothing special Southern. No stand out moments for me
burleigh, 1749359622
Stand out moments are: Herdy's airs, Kerrs layback, Oscar Berry on the big day.
Surfalot67, 1749359633
Where’s that plume of brown water coming from? Didn’t notice it yesterday arvo
southernraw, 1749359636
Fair enough but some of the backhand turns he's done earlier today and yesterday were vicious imo.
burleigh, 1749359638
jacob has never given me a stand out moment in a jersey
Solitude, 1749359640
Best surfer to have been relegated to the CS?
For me LOB
southernraw, 1749359645
Herdys airs are boring to me haha
Lanky Dean, 1749359658
Hell no @ mex
Solitude, 1749359668
How that Herdy bloke is not on the CT is hard to fathom
burleigh, 1749359692
Nobody else was doing full rotators in their heats. Every goofy footer was doing reos
southernraw, 1749359704
ever seen him do a carve on a 6foot plus wave @soli.
Surfalot67, 1749359713
Surprised Morgs and Jules didn’t go deeper into this event
southernraw, 1749359725
full rotors put me to sleep @burleigh...but probably cos i can't do them so can't associate with gymnastics.
Solitude, 1749359731
Who southern?
southernraw, 1749359749
herdygerdy
DingOZ, 1749359768
Heli no. just ride the fkn wave.
Solitude, 1749359778
Ahhh - no actually, could be a weakness?
southernraw, 1749359786
just why i reckon he's not on tour. Never seen an ounce of power on a wave over 4foot
Solitude, 1749359817
Fair enough- would make sense
burleigh, 1749359817
Italo doesnt do big carves on 6 footers either
Solitude, 1749359826
Fil 2.0?
southernraw, 1749359846
Carn Chippo. Weagles have just run onto the park in Bunbury! True @burleigh Good point but he can belt huge sections.
Solitude, 1749359852
Hog like Kelly? Always hanging around?
burleigh, 1749359854
I think Jordy called him on it in a stabmag vid a few years ago
Solitude, 1749359884
Yeah but Jordy has actually recently complimented Italos carves in juice
burleigh, 1749359908
what's that dirty water line from?
southernraw, 1749359919
yep and rightly so. But he hammers huge sections so that kinda cancels that out to a degree.
Solitude, 1749359961
? All the mid coast rivers like chocolate at the moment
Surfalot67, 1749359997
Hog is coaching Chippo @soli
Solitude, 1749360019
Is he? Righto
Mexican, 1749360019
Wave starved
southernraw, 1749360030
fwiw on backhand oz surfers, i prefer Rcal and Connors more but Willcox is improving and refining his.
DingOZ, 1749360030
Hunter overflow, by the looks.
Surfalot67, 1749360061
Agree @SR
burleigh, 1749360109
Connor 100% is the best backhand surfer in Aus
Solitude, 1749360116
Callinan one of the biggest under achievers for his talent?
burleigh, 1749360121
*Japan
Mexican, 1749360137
Agree @burleigh
Solitude, 1749360144
agree burlz
DingOZ, 1749360172
He made the SFs with a 1mnth old ...not bad going.
Solitude, 1749360191
I’m talking about his career
Solitude, 1749360208
He’s everyone’s favourite surfer and absolutely rips, has it all
Mexican, 1749360226
This is tedious
Solitude, 1749360227
Has had a lot happen to him in life too
Island Bay, 1749360238
What a fizzer. Too bad
southernraw, 1749360252
No argument from me on Connor. Big or small..he's the man. Probably best in the world.
Roadkill, 1749360257
Robbo..is underachieving to a high level. Might not reach the levels he is talked about
Solitude, 1749360281
Jack Robbo?
DingOZ, 1749360291
made a few finals ...on par with kolohe for some rough breaks.
Solitude, 1749360297
He’s won a lot of CT’s
southernraw, 1749360328
how often do comps end with a fizzer in the very last heat.
Surfalot67, 1749360340
Gonna miss Ronnie and Vaughan once the Aussie leg is done
Solitude, 1749360348
So bloody often
basesix, 1749360354
too many
southernraw, 1749360361
Agreed @surfalot. They're all time.
Mexican, 1749360363
Such a disappointing end
burleigh, 1749360377
C'mon Huey. one more set
southernraw, 1749360387
Willcox might get over the line by default here.
Surfalot67, 1749360390
Nothing coming at all. FFS
Solitude, 1749360411
Problem having two tours together - too many heaps no matter how you split it
basesix, 1749360423
even the ship's not interested
Solitude, 1749360426

I’m just here for the chat
Mexican, 1749360485
Nup
Moored, 1749360489
Doesn’t matter if it’s a club comp or a ct, most of the time it’s a game of numbers with a healthy dose of luck
Island Bay, 1749360494
Did what he could
southernraw, 1749360497
and they miss the winnning wave. Fuckeads
DingOZ, 1749360506
Split 'em, I say, Sol.
southernraw, 1749360530
one job. live surfing. Still can't get it right.
poo-man, 1749360534
JW easy
Mexican, 1749360552
Totally SR
Solitude, 1749360557
So much luck. Wouldn’t want to make my living this way……….i mean I would
Lanky Dean, 1749360576
It's close
southernraw, 1749360586
Yeah chipo!!!
Surfalot67, 1749360592
Chippo!!
Solitude, 1749360597
It would do your head in getting the rough end of the pineapple as invariably most do in this game
Solitude, 1749360619
Well done lad
Lanky Dean, 1749360641
Solid win for Wilcox
Moored, 1749360705
Now hopefully he doesn’t do a Matt mcd for the rest of the hear
Island Bay, 1749360714
Thanks for the company, folks. May the best qualify!
basesix, 1749360733

basesix, 1749360845
haha, yep @Mex.. the grom could at lease have had a pair of scissors to hand to him as he said it..
burleigh, 1749360960
absolutely nobody in this comp will make any impact on the tour.
burleigh, 1749360971
Excluding JW and LOB
burleigh, 1749360988
2 people out of 80 men
Surfalot67, 1749361002

Settle down @ neggy burls

ha, so what @burlz.. it's just surfing ; )

Who do you think would make an impact Lanky?

All up..for a Challenger event it was pretty good
Roadkill, 1749361592
Some good waves ridden..laters gators. Next up Trestles. Ciao
burleigh, 1749361644
Zero new brazilian surfers in the mix. Going to be a few long years for them once Toledo, Medina and Italo retire.
truebluebasher, 1749361734
Thanx swellnet Crew
Not our job to notice or care...but big BUT!
Chix outscore guys in Finals again...Yawn.
SF/Finals Day Avg : Chix 12.9 (vs) Guys 12.1
Chix beat guys in same Wave Pools / Skate Park
All with shittier boards & coaches...shh!
Can blame it on Sal's competitive streak!
Chix : "Give the losers a Bigger Cheque Cry! Cry!"
basesix, 1749362008
and a mere little bonus, you got to see Mitch Ross, Matt Hoy, Julian Wilson, Philippa Anderson, Jackson Baker have a play while MR waxed mogadon in the booth.. gold.
Lanky Dean, 1749362248
Morgan looks fully cooked!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DKaZkhiTkVG/
basesix, 1749363466
yep. wsl may yet realise the core viewers want to watch world-beating waves in peak conditions with people who know how to attack them. Right now on your WSL broadcast: 'let's talk about trestles'.
ron, 1749364179
Two of those in 1 year?
Moored, 1749370612
I head Ron say Hog is Wilcox coach, coincidence I think not
wally, 1749374415
Can Sally qualify for the CT again? What’s the market?
freeride76, 1749379566
Whats the verdict on the Newy Changa ?
I missed most of it live.
poo-man, 1749379816
I enjoyed it lots FR. Missed lots of it too and went for a surf during semis today but watched some big chunks. Lots of action with 4 man heats and I even enjoyed watching them battle the storm stuff. Huge result for kauli he looks a bit behind the best goofies for me. And Sal will be back for sure
freeride76, 1749379927
What about this girl who won- is she CT material?
I watched the edit of the womens final, surf was so weird it was hard to tell.
poo-man, 1749379935
yep Wally Sally is well on her way. The depth in the women's just isn't there and lots of them need to volume up a bit. Sinking in the dead bit was quite common with some of the girls
southernraw, 1749386705
Was a good comp FR. Good time of year to hold it. June. Mostly all day offshores and endless S quadrant swells. The Portugese girl that won is solid.I'd put her in Sawyer Linblad, Sophie McCulloch territory. She's got enough in the tank and has some polish. Not generational talent but definitely worthy of a spot...based on one sample size so would like to see more of what she's got to offer. Shame Sal gets so hounded by some on here. She's one of the greatest surfers Australia's ever produced, the way she digs in, and does it with a smile and dignity...humility. She should bringing smiles to peoples faces, not scorn. But again....says more about those that continually hound her than our dear Sal.
Island Bay, 1749407773
Mostly a great comp, FR. My main beef is: Woz gifted epic barreling waves in perfect offshores, yet they stubbornly scored turns and hail mary airs higher. Philistines.
freeride76, 1749413607
Cheers gents. Yeah, June is a much better month for S swell exposure. March pretty much locks in summer slop.
lostdoggy, 1749417181
Jules was also saying in the booth that the sand builds up over summer and the earlier calendar comps are often shitty closeouts. Then the south swells push the sand off the rock formations and offer much better shaped banks.
Craig, 1749418114
All makes sense, thanks for that LD.

Watched some of the Trestles 9's the Woz posted.
Staggeringly, no female surfer has yet matched Silvama Lima for consistently progressive radical surfing.
Solitude, 1749432791
Could be the time the Woz give a 8-9 for a tiny credit card air reverse to push this progression?
