Some nice ones coming in for the girls. Tyler Wring is giving it a good nudge. They just cut away to the Box and there was a certain KS tucked into the tube whilst holding a GoPro.


The girls today in the arvo was too messy IMHO. A few stand outs still and Tylers was one

I like Kellys cray dive

Was interesting to hear his opinion & agree more can be done regarding construction to find the right flex. Epoxy was giving me ankle strain, switched back to PU & its all good again. Not gonna complain too much though coz PU boards are pretty bloody cheap these days

Not for your average joe these..apparently they are only going to supply a few big name manufacturers on some kind of exclusive deals....no blanks for the back yard guys

Geez watching the comp yesterday,it seemed that with just two surfers in the line up was enough of a crowd with the amount of waves,maybe two more out it it would have made for a very crowded line up 4 wtf, over to you WA boys is it always like that at this spot or were the conditions far from perfect as far as the break being able to handle more people?

KS & Parko were saying it was frustrating watching another wave working - barrelling nicely from what I saw on the telly then
Not sure why it is being held where it is mate ?????

I heard yesterday that Taj has only surfed that place once before without a contest singlet on Its a pretty mean spot when it wants to be but its hardly a dream tour wave. Especially when you consider the other high quality waves they have just a few kms away.

The chicks semis are on - my two favs are up against each other - Carissa vs Steph. Well Carissa's last top turn was insane - I really think she will win the title this year - she is leaps and bounds above the rest

Surf is crap. I know its the same for both competitors but why not just scrap these last two heats and move on. Obviously they want all round 3 competitors to have similar conditions but surely enough is enough !!!!

Basically TB got his hand caught in Bede's leg rope as he paddled into a wave with priority n 3 mins on the clock. He never made the takeoff n got slammed as a result so under rule 135 (or similar) they determined a re heat was the fairest way to play it. Glad Bede won the rematch as he was the better surfer initially I thought.

Yadin s 9.77 to knock out Fanning was a rippper. Looking forward to his next heat with Medina. Go the WA boyo!

That heat Yadin just went crazy real early. You really could see the frustration on Mick.. Great wave and well worth the 9.77 IMHO

No idea sorry But from all reports the surfers are having themselves a good time running around all the vineyards..

I recall a few years ago KS said he doesn't like Margret River and wouldn't bother but his wife enjoys the wine too much

The problem they are going to have is the wind. Lets hope it holds off tom and they can get some more heats out of the way.

With some west in the swell due to pickup tonight they might run tomorrow. Glad I don't have to decide to run or not.
