Gee just watching the SF and the surf did turn to sh-t
yes indeed - just check the scoring out and look at the quality of the competitors. It was crap. A shame.

Such a great Vibe with those chica's, Kelia even seems genuinely stoked for her 
thanks SP. Does not look like epic conditions but lets hope things improve as the tide turns.

Did you see that wipe out
Ouch... Was a good whipping
I checked out some of the waves this morning - seems you get big scores for going straight! I thought after reading that guide the other day they were wanting more. Some impressive drops but what a shame the swell never really delivered. Far too bumpy on the face.
Some monsters out there last night in the big wave event.
Woke this morning hoping Pipe was on
Kong has posted some nice shots this morning so size at Pipe don't know why they called a lay day.
Some monster waves in Spain....looks like it might have been a bit bigger down the coast though...saw some insty shots of Nazara this morning that were unbeliveable

Imagine taking this sentence out of context

He posted it and then minutes latter removed it, so we may still see him surfing. I agree he should surf the event.
I like the idea of remembering AI in events, but it would seem the ASP is only doing it to help sell merchandise IMHO
That's BS all you bill wearing people should burn those huge logo tees tonight. No way I wear their crap
that's the spirit Mac...
Get down to head office on the goldy and Fire bomb that joint...
He's won pipe before 2 surely he gets a run...
Classic case of not really thinking through the consequences of your decision making process.
I can not wait to see their media release to squirm themselves out of this one. I would burn some Billabong gear in protest and instragram it - if I had any left that is !!!!!

He surfs big wave events and Pipe as long as you can charge and are fearless, your in for a chance..
From what I have seen LL he is nowhere near his best but still better than 99.99999% of the surfers out there.
I have no issue with them axing him on a performance basis - but surely if they were going to do that they would have discussed this with him a long time ago - not the day before. That is just poor.
Trying to compare apples with oranges think about the Eddie. Eddie's bro Clyde was still being invited into the field in 2011/12 despite him not being the best fella going around - in fact a very ageing one. He won it once in 1986.
Quiksilver on the surface of it seem to respect the heritage whilst Bong do not. BB seem to play on that who I'm memory if AI thing massively - were they not the one's that had a pretty good insight into what was going on and tuned a blind eye ? Not making the accusation - just recalling back to several articles written by well respecting journo's following his death.
I saw a few clips of him pulling into tubes with flares which were pretty good but not sure how much he surfs.
He won the Eddie, won pipe, grew up surfing the north shore and didn't get a run in the top 28 Hawaiians in the trials in an event named after his brother.
You'd have to think theres a good reason, I'd think it would be hard for bong to just snub him if the local crew were behind him being in the trials.
If he ha been snubbed then someone from billabong is literally going to get an arse kicking.
