We did it last comp and it worked OK, so here we are again with only a little bit of prompting from Zen.

We'll run forecasts and comp updates on the homepage but everything else, the banter, board talk, and inevitable conspircay theories can go in here.

That was both the best and worst display of seamanship I've ever seen.

Crazy that the skipper handled but what the fuck was he doing there ?

Must have spent plenty of time in the lineup , but how often do you get to pilot a boat down the line at one of the most popular breaks on the planet ?

Just got back, what happened?

I noticed on the recap they didn't show Connors wave and felt he was wayyyyy underscored on his 6.3- did they realise he'd been ripped off?

Very unusual to go back on a judging decision.

Went straight into the lineup. Not the slightest bit bothered by presence of a jet ski, and happy to swim through the whitewater. Looked like he didn't have a care in the world...

Kaiser " Went straight into the lineup. Not the slightest bit bothered by presence of a jet ski, and happy to swim through the whitewater. Looked like he didn't have a care in the world..."

Exactly!! You've got to wonder why some people remain surprised they come in so close to shore & suggest this is unnatural behavior. Completely at home in close & offshore........

Aren't the skis fitted with shark shields? That fella was following one of the skis like it had a steak attached. Didn't look phased by the ski at all.

I don't think anyone suggests it's unnatural...
It's a fucken big ocean. A bit of encouragement to move on wouldn't go astray, he might stay a bit further offshore on his next pass

I've already got PTD ( post Toledo depression ) .

Everyone else seems pedestrian.

Thank fuck well get to see him surf twice more before he wins the thing.

But don't forget Medina. That's a fella that knows when to peak.
