How much can you evolve when all you can do is make the drop and out run the white water? THis wave doesn't allow much progression beyond pushing levels of commitment... perhaps.

freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
They are using the wrong camera angle as the primary shot- can't see who it is looking into the sun

stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:24
Has Kaipo told us the correct pronunciation of Waimea yet?
etarip, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:24
Is “Hawaiian” water patrol trademarked or something? Not sure of the necessity to specify otherwise.
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:27
I reckon they said they're in a studio in Honolulu at the start.. sounded sad.. they probs have a view of that manky Waikiki canal..
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:28
now i reckon Landons in front.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:30
That was insane.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
had to be a 50 pointer
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
Landon for the win
Or mason
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
Not sure about the scale. 50 pointer sounds half as good as a 100 pointer.
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:32
Last set at Jaws was huge!
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:32

Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
That thing barrelled off perfectly too, insane.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
If Landon got 50 for that, he's 3 points behind Billy. Needs a 27 point something in this heat to back up.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
Billy Kemper has the lead by 1 point
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
No more Jaws boys
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
Can imagine JJF and Nate are gonna go pretty mad against each other in this next heat.

Outrageous sets at Jaws.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:52
Can't believe Wassel trying to say Twiggy hasn't done much at the Eddie. Been charging like a maniac last two Eddie's.
Nate1212, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:52
Trying to justify it
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:53
didn't twiggy get banned from a comp>
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:55
?

something to do with ruffling some commitee.. maybe not..

stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:56
Got banned from Mavs for a year.

What was the reason?

why?
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:57
From memory, technical issue - sponsorship perhaps..?
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:58
Koa has been charging
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:58
would love to have seen the start of Masons wave
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:59
Which one?
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:59
You know it's really big when the foam is yellow
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:00
Looks like Kai Lenny's EPS boards bucked him off in the whitewater turbulence on a couple of occasions
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:00
Impossibles has been of the hook
Nate1212, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:01
Sounds like he was trying to get Peter Mel back in the comp but it didn’t go well with the organisers so banned home too. Back in 2016. Paraphrasing I googled it
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:03
last one FR. They only caught end of it and no replay. Was a bomb
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:03
Seems like baby swallows are now the tail shape of choice.
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:04
John needs 3 waves
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:05
Looks like Koa Smith is filling in for Moana JW
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:07
Seems crazy to think the tail shape makes a noticeable difference on such a giant board that mostly goes straight
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:08
I feel (rec surfer perspective) you get a little more stability and "information" when matching quads with swallows.
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:10
I think they definitely look the coolest
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:11
Hey Stu, is Tim at Jaws today?

Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:14

freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:23

He needed 2 40+ rides.

Surfalot67, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:32

peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
Would make sense, freeride. A lot of them had been there since 3am.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
Still 15 to go. Feels weirdly anti-climactic. They are winding it up.
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
dude just faded in and got crushed on a huge one at Jaws
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:34
Yeah that was nuts vj!
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:37
Today I reckon the multiple TV watching skill set is required. Elvis could watch 3 at once apparently
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:46
Watching Jaws all day, they keep pace with the lip the entire wave, yet if they were just 5-10m deeper it seems they'd be able to be in the barrel with enough speed to match it too, but no-one does it. Clearly way harder to be in the pocket at that speed with that wobble etc.... and the fear of death I suppose.
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:47
Agree. I'd think you'd have to have next level skills and twitch reflexes to make that pull up into the tube there, swear I've seen Kai and Alby do it
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:49

freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Was that enough to win?
needed a 42
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Nate by a whisker on the leaderboard i reckon. But gonna be close
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Epic ending!

StayAtHome, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Justine rocks
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:51
Nathan could win,
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:51
Not sure he can.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
His highest wave score in this heat before the last wave was 30.20. No chance.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
OK
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
Think Nate's was after the buzzer, third gave him no major score.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
Said he needed a 42 to win.
That could be close with the Shorey tube-ride.
I think it was before the buzzer, they haven't logged the score yet.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
ahh ok. Well i reckon Landon would be the most deserving winner of the day. Hats of to the lot of them. Sheesh what a day.
pittsy, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
would have loved to see mason win it
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
Needed 42 to win the heat, not the contest.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:54
Sorry, that was a 42 to take lead in that heat
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:56

I heard 7th for Nate on the webby as well, but yeah he came 5th.
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:02
reckon it was 7th
$2000
6th got #3000
(least he was there, did kai ever show?)
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:07
Did they dish out any prize money for highest ranked woman?
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:12

freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:16
Didn't even do a heat recap of that last heat.
Feels like half of the production crew have just packed up and gone home.
etarip, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:16
How’s riding into that shorey!?!
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:17
yeah Flick.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:17

nextswell, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:18
Like the pipe masters live heats website only way to keep up with whats happening
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
nice Mason
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
Mason !!!!!!!@
rj-davey, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
haha epic!
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
lol
Jono, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
The commentators aren't onsite are they? Looks like a tv studio. Would explain the confusion.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
They are using the wrong camera angle as the primary shot- can't see who it is looking into the sun
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:22
Love the guys who are going the extra yard to make this fun
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:23
Old school thrills and spills in big surf is always entertaining
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:24
Has Kaipo told us the correct pronunciation of Waimea yet?
etarip, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:24
Is “Hawaiian” water patrol trademarked or something? Not sure of the necessity to specify otherwise.
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:27
I reckon they said they're in a studio in Honolulu at the start.. sounded sad.. they probs have a view of that manky Waikiki canal..
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:28
now i reckon Landons in front.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:30
That was insane.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
had to be a 50 pointer
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
Landon for the win
Or mason
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:31
Not sure about the scale. 50 pointer sounds half as good as a 100 pointer.
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:32
Last set at Jaws was huge!
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:32
Lol @baitstu
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:32
The one now Craig!
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
That thing barrelled off perfectly too, insane.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
If Landon got 50 for that, he's 3 points behind Billy. Needs a 27 point something in this heat to back up.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
Billy Kemper has the lead by 1 point
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
No more Jaws boys
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:34
Can imagine JJF and Nate are gonna go pretty mad against each other in this next heat.
goofyfoot, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:35
Please not a Billy win..
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:35
One of the great brotherly sporting showdowns of all time
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:35
Lol LD, it's farkin parmpin!

DeXtrus, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:39
where you seeing leader board?
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:39
@FR there were paddlers at the start of the stream but seems they started towing after not too long.
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:40
Hasn't been paddlers at Jaws for a few hours.
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:40
Landon 50

@ DeXtrus ... https://liveheats.com/events/317639

Landon's Eddie unless Nate can get hold of a bomb.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:41
Liveheats has been updated.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:41
Nate will need 2 bombs

DeXtrus, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:42
@sprout - cheers
Jono, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:43
Billy's ego might not cope with the comp director's son getting the win
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:44
Kaipo is hearding cats in that booth
Drunk cats
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:44
did Billy deserve to be 1 point ahead of JOB?
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:44
Haha.
DeXtrus, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:45
wtf ad was that lol
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:46
Crews coming in from Logs.
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:48
@Dextrus
What add?
Gra Murdoch, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:48
that set at jaws just then...
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:51
Outrageous sets at Jaws.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:52
Can't believe Wassel trying to say Twiggy hasn't done much at the Eddie. Been charging like a maniac last two Eddie's.
Nate1212, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:52
Trying to justify it
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:53
didn't twiggy get banned from a comp>
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:55
?
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:55
something to do with ruffling some commitee.. maybe not..
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:56
Twiggy 2core4u
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:56
Got banned from Mavs for a year.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:57
What was the reason?
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:57
why?
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:57
From memory, technical issue - sponsorship perhaps..?
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:58
Koa has been charging
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:58
would love to have seen the start of Masons wave
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:59
Which one?
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 01:59
You know it's really big when the foam is yellow
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:00
Looks like Kai Lenny's EPS boards bucked him off in the whitewater turbulence on a couple of occasions
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:00
Impossibles has been of the hook
Nate1212, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:01
Sounds like he was trying to get Peter Mel back in the comp but it didn’t go well with the organisers so banned home too. Back in 2016. Paraphrasing I googled it
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:03
last one FR. They only caught end of it and no replay. Was a bomb
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:03
Seems like baby swallows are now the tail shape of choice.
Lanky Dean, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:04
John needs 3 waves
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:05
Looks like Koa Smith is filling in for Moana JW
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:07
Seems crazy to think the tail shape makes a noticeable difference on such a giant board that mostly goes straight
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:08
I feel (rec surfer perspective) you get a little more stability and "information" when matching quads with swallows.
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:10
I think they definitely look the coolest
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:11
Hey Stu, is Tim at Jaws today?
nicko74, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:11
Was Bruce in this year’s eddy?
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:12
Nope.
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:12
NVM, just saw insta.
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:13
Yep @ Sprout
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:13
Bruce was on the start list
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:13
Ta mate.
nicko74, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:14
Ok
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:14
They said early that Bruce out with shoulder injury before event, possible snapped collarbone, they weren't sure, they didn't expand.
nicko74, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:16
Spewing… would’ve been good to see Bruce take it on
only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:16
Mason truly a 1-30ft warrior
Surfalot67, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:17
JJF deep drop
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:19
Conditions deteriorating now- hard to see Nate getting his chance.
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:19
This the last heat?
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:19
Yep.
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:19
Cheers
Gra Murdoch, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:20
wassel's gotten larger through the course of the webcast
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:21
Probably got through a couple plate lunches.
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:21
Ha ha
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:22
That was a good ride from Justine
saltman, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:22
Wassel looks like an oversized oompa loompa
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:22
No separate prizemoney for women by the sounds of it.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:22
Wonder if that will cause a stir.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:22
tell ya what that might bump nate back up to first.....or close to
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:23
ya reckon SR?
He needed 2 40+ rides.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:23
he rode that perfectly and was perfectly positioned
saltman, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:24
Where can you see the scores live?
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:24
Wow!
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:24
Dodging traffic on that drop!
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:25
Heavy ejection from JJF.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:25
jjf huge pindrop
DeXtrus, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:25

only-sams, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:27
Justine, biggest wave ridden by a mother?
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:27
She's charging
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:29
It's Landon's trophy.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:30
the still shots from today are going to be insane
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:31
Seems like the crowd has gotten more mellow through the day- less people now..?
Gra Murdoch, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:32
Wassel could double for The Skipper in Gilligan's Island: Origin Story
Surfalot67, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:32
Finished? Not taking of scores or results?
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
Would make sense, freeride. A lot of them had been there since 3am.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
Still 15 to go. Feels weirdly anti-climactic. They are winding it up.
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:33
dude just faded in and got crushed on a huge one at Jaws
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:34
Yeah that was nuts vj!
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:37
Today I reckon the multiple TV watching skill set is required. Elvis could watch 3 at once apparently
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:46
Watching Jaws all day, they keep pace with the lip the entire wave, yet if they were just 5-10m deeper it seems they'd be able to be in the barrel with enough speed to match it too, but no-one does it. Clearly way harder to be in the pocket at that speed with that wobble etc.... and the fear of death I suppose.
velocityjohnno, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:47
Agree. I'd think you'd have to have next level skills and twitch reflexes to make that pull up into the tube there, swear I've seen Kai and Alby do it
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:49
smoked
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:49
Solid ending
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:49
way to finish it!
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Was that enough to win?
needed a 42
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Nate by a whisker on the leaderboard i reckon. But gonna be close
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Epic ending!
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
That couple of stroke paddle by Nate on the last one, under the ledge take-off was nice as.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
1
Landon McNamara
135.80
Won by 14.9
2
Mason Ho
120.90
Comb. 92.51
3
Billy Kemper
119.90
Comb. 95.01
4
Jamie O'Brien
118.90
Needed 49.91
5
Nathan Florence
107.80
Comb. 88.51
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Nate needed two rides in the 40s. I think that final wave gave him his only one.
StayAtHome, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:50
Justine rocks
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:51
Nathan could win,
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:51
Not sure he can.
peabo, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
His highest wave score in this heat before the last wave was 30.20. No chance.
BarbB, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
OK
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
Think Nate's was after the buzzer, third gave him no major score.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:52
Said he needed a 42 to win.
That could be close with the Shorey tube-ride.
I think it was before the buzzer, they haven't logged the score yet.
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
ahh ok. Well i reckon Landon would be the most deserving winner of the day. Hats of to the lot of them. Sheesh what a day.
pittsy, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
would have loved to see mason win it
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:53
Needed 42 to win the heat, not the contest.
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:54
Sorry, that was a 42 to take lead in that heat
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:56
Fun day to watch.
Write-up to come but it might not be until early tomorrow am.
Thanks for patience.
Island Bay, Mon 23 Dec 2024 02:58
Take a breather. Looking forward to the write-up - only ducked in and out all day, unfortunately
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:01
This and Jaws, great day of surfing! Look forward to your write-up FR, and Tim's coverage Stu.
Island Bay, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:11
Has there been live Jaws coverage too?
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:13
Yeah all day, it just finished. Can re-watch the stream here though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAkrcoNSmY
Island Bay, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:15
Thank you, Sprout.
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:17
Check the rad drone angle at 3:47:10
nextswell, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:18
Greg long what a legend and a gentleman
Sprout, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:20
@IB and the absolute monster empty at 4:12:00
Island Bay, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:22
Greg and Rusty Long were teen grommets that all of a sudden showed up on Madeira and RIPPED! I was already old and useless :-)
southernraw, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:22
haha i was well off. 7th!?
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:37
For Luke?
Nate came 5th
Craig, Mon 23 Dec 2024 03:39
I heard 7th for Nate on the webby as well, but yeah he came 5th.
basesix, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:02
reckon it was 7th
$2000
6th got #3000
(least he was there, did kai ever show?)
freeride76, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:07
Did they dish out any prize money for highest ranked woman?
stunet, Mon 23 Dec 2024 04:12
Far as I can determine there's no distinction between men and women.
