The Pipe Pro: Day 4
Saturday 10/02 62
"Hold your head up high Carissa Moore. Those who appreciate good surfing and the good in humanity salute you."
"Hold your head up high Carissa Moore. Those who appreciate good surfing and the good in humanity salute you."
Now butting up against the end of the waiting period, the Women finally had their shot at the Pipe.
No 10-12-foot bombs but lots of last-second heroics on a dying swell.
Hallelujah! The CT season has begun and Day 1 at Pipe was filled with drama and high emotion.
The outlook is becoming clearer with a couple of standout days on the cards.
So what does the WSL want to be? By the end of this year we'll find out.
There's action aplenty forecast for the opening event of the year.

Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:53
Last year Caity didn't know much. Now she fucken knows!
basesix, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:53
TH quoted it above @simba
Sprout, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:55
That surfing with that quote is the best thing that's happened in professional surfing in forever.
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:56
have never seen jj hurry to get back out there...
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:56
Kids duties done for the morning, raced home from the beach just in time for the first wave.
Spewing missed the girls though. Sounded epic.
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:56
badly wants this win
BarbB, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:56
how did John get priority?
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:57

zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:58
Was that JMD cheering for Barron?
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:58
Barring paddling! So epic
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:58

Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
10! Epic
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
So deep
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
Has to be a 10. Came out a full second after I had given up on him.
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
Turpel doesn’t deserve this final
BarbB, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
yep, 10, easy
basesix, Sun 11 Feb 2024 00:59
deeeep... give that man an esky
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
So Sik!
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
And a Lexus
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
it wasnt her zen
same girth but
Joshy Moore, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
Johnny on the ropes here!!
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
Geez John was close there
dawnperiscope, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:00
There must be a camera in the channel.. carmon!
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:01
Only needs a 8. Ain’t over
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:01
wsl rushing to buy another esky ....only had one
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:01
This finals makes up for the dud surf I was able to sneak in
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
long way to go yet
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
Ha ha!
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
None for sunset now simba
Joshy Moore, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
Baron won't be hanging on that 6 for long
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
luxury export united states
if u didnt know / lexus
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:02
23 minutes to go, 16 points vs 15.33. Boom.
freeride76, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:03
That 10 made the hairs stand up on my arm
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:04
Nothing compares to this…especially Trestles
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:04
They really need the final back here
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:04
depends who you ask roady
basesix, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:04
"wsl rushing to buy another esky ....only had one" haha @simba, joe making an awkward call to yeti in the break you reckon?
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:04
How’s some of the past students at Sunset Elementry
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:05
1 million, gazillion% @roadkill
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:05
The whole final 5 concept is trash, plus letting the surfers drop their dud performance. Needs a whole re-write.
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:06
bf like before they fuked it up
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:06
It’s unbelievable that 99% of the fan base (if not more) hate the concept and venue but the WSL wont budge
sean killen, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:07
My dogs absolutely shit themselves me n missus yelling at that 10
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:07
Yeah, but I think even the old days they use to be able to drop a contest. Could be wrong.
crg, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:07
I think the question as to whether they would reset the scale with Pritamo’s retirement has been answered…
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:08
winds gone offshore again
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:08
Dropping a contest is so you can miss a contest and still contend
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:08
With injury
3vickers, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:08
jjf looks like he’s bulked up from last year- shoulders are huge
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:08
How is it JJF has only won 8 out of 100 CT events?
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:09
Yep, LD, but also an abused concept. Just get rid of it.
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:09
i thought he won more too
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:09
Doesn’t sound right does it, thought it would of been higher
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:10
I was thinking that Mamiya is looking much slimmer than when he won sunset. Got rid of his puppy fat?
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:10
C'mon Pipe, don't go to sleep now.
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:10
restart this final
Smn87, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:10
Priority change?
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:11
Yaeh, Barron looks like the new Spatan.
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:11
Or add 20 minutes at least.
It’s the half hour down time
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:11
Suns out, back to offshore - let’s go!!
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:12
Another buzzer beater for Jonny coming up
Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:12
Caarn swell, don't be a dick.
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:12
Could have made it a 45 minute final. Same for girls too.
freeride76, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:13
Good call BF.
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:13
Whats the bet they cut away to an ad break just as the set comes in?
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:14
Some massive lines incoming!!!!
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:14
Lines out the back
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:14
Set
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:15
Here we go
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:15
Here we go
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:16
Haha, but no
Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:16
Ha
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:16
FFS!
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:16
Ferrrrk
flow, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Ad break??
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
someone say ads
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Ad break, that’ll bring the sets.
epictard, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Dead set!
nextswell, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
The sets are coming guaranteed. Ad break
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Ad ya kidding me...
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
What they should do..is let Carissa give the trophy to the girls. That would be a great show
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Was Barron the little kid shredding in the opening scenes of Endless Summer 2?
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
unbelievable ....why do they do it ?
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:17
Great call Roady.
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:18
And just WSL Ad, what are they thinking??
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:18
Great call @Roadkill
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:18
Fuck John!
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:18
Barron you turkey
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
Both incomplete
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
No @Surfalot67.
That was TJ Barron
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
bazza blew it to
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
Ah - cheers @TH
Min laden, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
Wsl have a wave buoy 1km out the back so they can time and go to an ad break when the sets are coming
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:19
next make wins
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:20
Surprised Barron didn’t make it out. Could have made it very hard indeed for John.
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:20
Tj baron would be late 30s now
dbut, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:20
Surely they don’t need an add break now
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:20
Fuck!
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
ES2 was '92?
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
Not going JJF way
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
Missed the early pump. Similar wave to Baron’s 10
crg, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
It’s so weird…they cut away from the live product…to an ad for the same product
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
'94
Min laden, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
He's rattled
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
Pray for one more proper set exchange
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:21
Yeah, think he's my age, 37 @lostdoggy
1994 @Island Bay
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:22
yeah dumb as
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:22
Strider in sparkling form
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:22
More sets
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:22
John might get one more shot..
Sprout, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:22
Do they broadcast on Foxtel or whatever still? Maybe those ads run for channels not watching it, and they can't split the stream for those who are?
adam12, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Be great if they did get Carissa to do the women's presso I agree, but part of me would rather see Fil Toledo have to do it, just to see the look on his face
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Omg fuck
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Fuck he rode that well tho
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Nooooo So close!
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Nearly a JJF miracle.
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
barrons now
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Ha ha Adam. That would be gold.
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
got some travel time there
udo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
so close faark
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:23
Thought he was out then
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:24
Game over
Joshy Moore, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:24
give us one more set!
Sprout, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:24
Great to see the Hawaiian win
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Barron for the win!
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Well done Barron!
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Nice one Barron!!
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Well done Baz
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Great final..best 2 final show ever. Hard to not get excited about this day
Joshy Moore, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
well played BM!! huge to beat John in conditions like this!
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:25
Two underdogs really up against it.
andy-mac, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:26
Great day of surfing...
Don't think Trestles would be able to top that...
lostdoggy, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:26
Glad the guy that called them out for not running takes it. “Called it off cos it was too big or something” hahahaha
Island Bay, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:26
Thank you for the excellent company, everybody. Chores and a surf, then a beer
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:26
Well done Mamiya.
Is Rebel Wilson really JMD?
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:26
great finals day
thermalben, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
Onya Barron.
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
Oh Zen…lol.
basesix, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
good call @lostdog
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
Yep, I'm out. Looking forward to the take on today by Free.
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
That was funnier than anything Rebel has ever said.
Surfalot67, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:27
Off to find a wave. Cheers team
Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:28
Congrats to all the finalists.
moronifeifosa, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:28
this was a great finals day - from betty, molly and caity setting bar up high for the women to john john and barron getting epic barrels everywhere
BarbB, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:28
great final day
freeride76, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:29
What a champion.
basesix, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:29
@zen, been thinking that all day -@freeride has become the master of making a tasty casserole out of manky shit in the crisper..
Suddenly he has a truck of fresh produce delivered.. write-up in 10 vols?
BarbB, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:29
dream come true for Barron
3vickers, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:29
gotta love pipe!
TH, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:30
Pretty amazing for Barron!
And with a 10 in the final!
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:30
I was thinking Rebel Wilson also. Was that JMD?
nextswell, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:31
Best wave and the 2 best women and men in the finals. Not even WSL could stuff that.
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:31
Ma-Mamiya, that was a throaty 10.
(Says the Italian in me).
Anyway, frigid little waves await- enjoy your Sunday folks.
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:31
I’m gonna hang for the pressos. Bit of swell out there but I don’t need to surf crowded Sundays any more, plus I knocked off my chores yesterday. I’ll be kicking back reading after this.
Roadkill, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:32
Have great day all..lawns and edging and maybe a surf if it looks good
FrazP, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:33
Improvement from the girls in just 2 years is incredible. Quality entertainment today. Wish Connor made that one at pipe in the semi to make things a bit more interesting.
Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:34
Double thumbs up for swellnet!! Best chats ever.
Rabbits68, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:34
Epic day. Great to see some good ones roll through Pipe.
Special mention to Jono for the Jesse Mendez/Napolean Dynamite call from the other day. That’s all I was hearing in the end!
BarbB, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:36
more than a 10
Min laden, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:37
Stoked for Barrellon Mamiya
simba, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:38
Good stuff swellnet ,well done for running it and to all the boys and girls for commenting see ya in the soup and well have a pea together next comp in a few days yewww
batfink, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:41
Sunset next event. Cool. Looking forward to that too.
Joshy Moore, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:41
does anyone find it wild that Barron has won 2 CT's and Kolohe never won one
truebluebasher, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:42
Also thanx #1 swellnet - crew-comments!
Nick Bone, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:43
Why does JMD always look like she would rather be anywhere else?
seaslug, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:45
She must be thanking her very very lucky stars, alls forgotten now
goofyfoot, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:50
Pro surfing can be so good.
It’s not that hard either, just put the best surfers in pumping waves and people will love it.
tip-top1, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:55
great day of surfing , shame molly didnt get the win but she can be proud she held her own,
barrons 10 was outstanding
Mexican, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:55
JMD stole some curtains to make her clothes.
Remigogo, Sun 11 Feb 2024 01:57
She couldn't steal the show, so.....
Lanky Dean, Sun 11 Feb 2024 02:08
Missed it !
southernraw, Sun 11 Feb 2024 02:27
That was an epic comp. Incredible stuff.
zenagain, Sun 11 Feb 2024 02:33
'

'Why does JMD always look like she would rather be anywhere else?'
Like a breakfast buffet?
Tick, Sun 11 Feb 2024 02:53
Agree GF
StayAtHome, Sun 11 Feb 2024 05:36
women’s surfing semis and final were the most entertaining pro surfing I’ve ever seen!!!
