Live Discussion
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:48
Up north he needs a ten .
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:48
No point, up ...he needs a 10.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:48
John will win the Title with 5 waves ridden.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:49
Fair days works for Italo
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:49
Can Australia claim this title by marriage
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:49
NNSW girl I believe ?
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:49
Will Darwin rock the dual citizenship?
More tubes please, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:50
Well deserved for JJF, but hats off to Italo, he charges and is a legit world champ. Be good to see these guys go again in 8ft Fiji next year
upnorth, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:50
One decent ramp on the inside, couple rolled through untroubled
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:50
Yea I thought northern rivers somewhere - surprised John doesn’t spent much time there? Maybe more now they have a kid
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:51
italo peaking now
Yendor, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:51
Can imagine my wife with a fresh kid. ' Hey babe, I think I'm gonna do the slab tour with Nate.' Bwahahaha!
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:51
Sure, they get the winner ...but from Italo's point of view it has to suck that scores were that high.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:52
game set and match
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:52
What a proper legend.
To me a bit like Ian Thorpe,
Maybe not the ‘winningest’ but undeniably one of the best we’ve ever seen to dance on water
andy-mac, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:53
Yew....
upnorth, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:53
Thats a nice comparison Solitude
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:53
Well deserved win from John.
Best surfer all year.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:53
I rate better than Mick, Gabe and Andy
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
well done John
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
anyway im sure phil is impressed
etarip, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
Yew. John John
indo-dreaming, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
well deserved
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
na not better than Gabe & Andy
upnorth, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:54
Good to see the best surfer win, maybe this format isn't so bad
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:55
This is the worst result possible for getting rid of the final 5
Nick Bone, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:55
Format not bad. Wave horrendous..
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:55
I still really don’t like this format. It needn’t be like this
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:55
Fil and John both retire and go on slab tour.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:55
so now what happens for the next 5 months
Vince Neil, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:56
Be nice if JJ acknowledged Italo
julioadler, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:56
Deserved winner.
3 world titles, a battle with Gabe for 4th in Fiji will be dreaming
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:56
Strider - stay in the moment don. John couldn’t give a stuff about next year
shoredump, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:56
Footy then Bathurst then drinking
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:57
lol - i thought John was retiring
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:57
Why do they cut away from the emotion in the beach to a pre-canned video package?
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:57
then they show real waves and the final 5 bubble bursts
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:57
I'm glad Strider asked him about next year.
he sounded keen.
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:57
Go Shorey!
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:58
5 month off season.
sweet gig.
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:58
@ Freeride76
You won the nescafe award!
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:58
NRL players play 28 gruelling weeks then have a 2-3month off season.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:58
Unbelievable going to an ad and missing the beach reception
southernraw, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:59
onya JJF. The cream rose to the top eventually in spite of the woz.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:59
I heard it different, fr ..."sounds epic" was a bit unconvincing.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:59
What do I get LD?
I'll take a Red Tiger, JJF Camo Tee-o and a hooded rashie thanks.
southernraw, Fri 06 Sep 2024 21:59
agreed @onlysams, get 5mins of him getting yanked around on the back of a jetski then cut to ads when the actual celebration part happens. They fail dismally so regularly
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:00
I guess we'll see DingOz.
Starting with Pipe and ending with Fiji- will be very hard not to defend with that prospect.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:01
I’m surprised they not doing what they’ve done the other years, and start the other heat whilst they celebrating on land
Juliang, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
Why would jjf be thinking about next year when he’s just won this year
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
30 seconds of him celebrating up the beach, nah back to the boring desk. Not allowed to show celebrations now, must wait until the women's final finishes and then show him when all the emotion has left his body
Remigogo, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
That a relief.. congrats John John.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
Nate and John truly top of the surfing world
lostdoggy, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
You win a hand tremor, freedride.
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:02
Chaired up the beach by your bro and your best mate pretty cool
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:03
He wouldn't.
But there is so much speculation he will retire.
Nick Bone, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:03
No Ivan?
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:03
jj looks emotional.....
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:03
Wait, the championship is the Duke? Never heard that before
TH, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:03
Best surfer of a generation. Amazing human. Humble and all round kid of aloha. JJF is the people’s champ.
Nate1212, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:04
So well deserved
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:04
You know who’s conspicuous by their absence?
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:04
I've got you covered
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:05
dont say phil
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:05
@ freeride76
Mal Caithness1, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:05
AI forever,JJ today.
Nick Bone, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:05
Wheres Slats? Has he popped up?
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:05
Hope the Eddie runs this year and John wins after winning at 2ft trestles
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:06
hey yeah forgot about him
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:06
No Slater.
No mention of him.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:06
He basically said he hates the Final5.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:06
Yep you got it - maybe turning over a new leaf?
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:06
Fanning has 3 doesn't he?
Nick Bone, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:07
wow. eerie
Lanky Dean, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:07
@ mal
Nice one ,
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:07
Yep, he did. DingOz.
Might feel different if it's 8ft Cloudy next year though.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:08
JJF leagues ahead of AI
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:08
Maybe the Woz has actually broken up with him
belly, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:08
Im not sure he's saying that, I think it's great they get to feel that feeling.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:09
Prediction: He wins Pipe then suffers a season ending injury, but miraculously recovers and gets into Tahiti and Fiji.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:09
I’d love to know the nuisance of caity’s O’Neill contract - if it was signed a couple of years ago her value would have x’d massively
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:10
JJF? DingOz
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:10
go caity
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:10
There'd be a world title clause in there 100% OS.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:12
Yeah ...the emotion seems to be relief, not real joy. The WZL is a grind let's face it, especially for a guy like him.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:12
The year Gabe won in this format was he number 1 seed?
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:12
Yep.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:14
So, Every year the bloke who finished the regular season at number 1 won,
So the means justifies the ends then?
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:15
Shakey Caity - it’ll do though
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:15
not in carrisas case
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:15
Yeah men’s
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:16
USA USA USA!
belly, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:16
Booze bus on the highway?
Mal Caithness1, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:16
Ditto that @ Simba. Travesty, shit format
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:16
Mens yeah.
Carissa lost twice from No 1 spot.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:16
But do the ends justify the means?
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:17
Pretty flacccid first wave from Caity. Safe surfing.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:17
zen thought you were in the maldives
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:18
Yeah I don’t think so. Too much pressure, too much riding on swell, for a sport as fickle as this where luck reigns supreme it’s a dangerous game
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:18
Leave tomorrow. Working today sadly Simba.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:18
Oceanside crew and Florida crew gunna have a big night.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:19
lucky you
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:20
I love it when Flick says lubricated.
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:20
Yep, pretty excited. Gonna be hard to concentrate.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:22
boat trip Zen?
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:22
Happy travels, zen san!
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:22
Or ‘Schoo-nani’
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:22
Yes and arigato IB.
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:23
Well it’s been great all. Thanks for humouring me through the wee hours of this morning. I’ve got to go and pretend to be a functional human again now.
Cheers
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:23
Have a good one Soli.
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:24
Fark an ad. I wanna see a replay of Caitys 8+
Solitude, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:24
Have a great trip. Get a couple for us. Yew
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:25
Ha ha! No worries. that's the plan.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:27
Gotta admit, waves have been very fun and rippable when they come.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:29
No complaints about lack of oppportunity anyway.
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:29
Totally. Looks fun but still...
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:30
Scoring today is not compatible with the rest of the year so claiming no of excellent rides, doesn't really mean anything.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:30
yes an event here makes sense but not a world title decider
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:31
100% Simba.
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:31
x 2 Free. Scores are a little padded I reckon.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:32
Massively inflated.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:32
jeez this heat has lost its excitment
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:32
My local here in Japan is a carbon copy of Trestles so it's a very relatable wave for me.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:33
as crowded as normal trestles zen?
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:33
Do tell, z?
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:35
reef point. long right, rarely tubes. fun left on sth swells and can get hollow.
basically a big skate park. jewel in the crown in this area. cranky old locals that can barely turn.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:35
Japan surf trip is on my radar for next year
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:35
We were pretty close to no4 winning here - just seems so unfair that you can dominate a
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:35
- a whole season and lose because a guy is just suited to a specific wave
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:36
Which island?
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:36
10 is a crowd. surfed it solo or one or two out dozens of times
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:36
ocean gone to sleep.
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:36
sounds fun
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:37
My shaper when I was a kid /teen retired to Amami Oshima and absolutely scores
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:37
Only-sams, October, warm water, tons of surf.
wintes too but full kit, very very cold- snow on the beach cold.
dawnperiscope, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:37
Haz Caz only had one chance?
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:38
Andy Jordan?
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:38
Northern Honshu
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:38
Yea IB
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:39
He seems to be loving his semi retirement
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:39
go the boat wake.
you can't script this
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:39
Yup, he’s a total legend too and still makes great boards
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:39
wow got skunked
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:39
Oh lower trestles, you were shithouse and disappointing to the very, very end.
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
wow
belly, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
Good on ya Caity.
Major bummer on the lull for the contest
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
I wanna get one more board from him before he stops shaping completely
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
Been heaps of waves early and mid heat
zenagain, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
There you go.
Gotta go chaps- been short but sweet. Have a good one all.
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
The Champ Caity!!!
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
good one caity
Hot to Trot, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
At least the best man an woman won in the end
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
whtat a classic anti-climax.
congrats Caity though, best surfer in the world.
dawnperiscope, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:40
That’s good
Just tuned back in
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:41
Hahaha good interaction between caz and caity there - the women’s tour is fun
thermalben, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:41
"I have nothing to say".
Hahaha!
dawnperiscope, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:41
So good to see the yellows rule the day
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:42
Well done, Caity
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:42
awesome pack of surfers... what sport has that
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:42
Love the grom squad behind her
Island Bay, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:42
Hahaha
udo, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:42
i have nothing to say
but
pipeline for the farken women
thermalben, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:43
Classic interview with the rowdy lineup behind her.
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:43
Now for 100+ guys to go back to squabbling over 2ft slop
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:43
Gotta have your mid jetski can of red bull
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:44
USA = two world champs - no one cares over there
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:45
Hahaha the cobblestone shuffle is pretty funny
simba, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:45
caity a most unlikely world champ.......refreshing
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:46
San Clemente = zero ....still!
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:46
Looks like a fun day in the sun for the crowd.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:47
Is that sawyer chairing her up?
andy-mac, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:50
Caity is the coolest surfer in the world!
Unreal
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:51
Those sunnies are wild - she looks like she stole her dads
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:53
Right on Caity- coolest pro surfer ever.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:53
That was such a sick interview.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:53
Pipe, bells, world title - that’s an entire career right there
southernraw, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:54
Great results all round. Now fuck off Trestles.
crg, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:55
Awesome interview...she gets it...I love CaityLand...
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:56
They must get nervous sticking a mic in her face live on TV.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 22:59
hahahahaha.
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:00
Is that the new CEO?
soccer Dad vibes.
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:01
Joe wearing a Florence marine shirt? Wonder if that’s a full brand deal
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:03
nice shirt, apart from the red Hamas triangle sewed at the wrong angle
Zonaras, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:03
JMD and her grandma outfits
BarbB, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:04
John sponsored the event.... wtf?

DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:10
Keep your hands off it, Joe!
TH, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:11
John giggling in the background
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:11
All the current crop of girls are tiny
freeride76, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:12
Caity looks like a tiny little doll next to John.
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:13
John's trophy looks smaller!
only-sams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:14
I’m gona go for a surf tomorrow and try do a roundhouse like Caity
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:19
Admirable goal, o-s ...coz you sure as hell ain't doing that JJF turn!
southernraw, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:20
yeah love it @onlysams.
shoredump, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:29
See you in 12 months
JJF v Medina both going for #4 @ 8ft CB
DingOZ, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:34
Wow ...that's a lot of employees.
dan.adams, Fri 06 Sep 2024 23:40
7ft and offshore at CB right now. What could have been...
