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.

Hypothetical: If you were at J'Bay right now, would you ask Toledo for an autograph?

Stunet : re Toledo's autograph-

No.

I'd be too busy going through the garbage bin outside his hotel.

Would you grab his autograph ?

Gary remembers when Herc was so angry at Gary replacing him as the raw-egg-eating-one-legged-squatting champion on Swellnet that he impersonated Gary as 'GarryG'.

Probably only the 12th or 13th time he'd been banned at that stage, oh it seems so long ago now.

"Would you grab his autograph ?"

Can I take the fifth on that?

I worry Herc will read it and use it against me in a long winded tirade posted sometime in July 2027.

Are you serious Gary ?

Just mention when he posted the photo of Margo and claimed it was himself. What can you say to that ?

Makes me chuckle just to think of it.....good times.

Wilko has lost his mojo this heat.

It's slow if we have resorted to talking of Herc and his many other names !!

How can I put this , but .....Wilko is not world champ material.

No . Not even in an ADS kind of way.

Sorry , mate.

I would never make it out the back after each wave .

You ever surfed empty waves anywhere near as good as that ? Especially if they're loooong.

Virtually impossible to paddle over them.

Must catch wave ( Zombie voice )

Wilko sniffing for a layback baz.

Good luck pulling off a layback barrel on a wave that's breaking at 30 metres / second.

Did Jordy just make a flat out excuse ?

Kong was the last pro I've ever been awed by when I met him.

After watching him get heavily drained at the ' Gong back in the day. Crazy floaters for back then.

Fed's/Fred's waves in that semi were the biggest and best ridden, such a clear win. Really high quality surfing, put Medina under pressure, and Kelly's theory on how to beat Medina holds true again.

I'm a fan, a rookie surfing like that is something worth praising.

@Stunet, that's the "watching and commenting" accounted for, but the "engaging"? Is that the sound of one hand erm, typing?

Would account for the "conspircay theories"?!
