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.

7am local time and it's the best day ever.

Top 5 comps of all time

Sickballz. Forgot this shizzle was on. Hot damn!

And Milo Yiannopoulos is goin' off! He's bebopping and scatting all over the place, and I'm losing it!

Best bedazzling evahhhhhh.

Exquisite line.

And ain't it hard to keep away from the Bay. And the Swell.

Yeeha!

Dale -Cooper Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 05:40 pm new

@Stunet, what was the score breakdown for that wave?

Blowin Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 05:43 pm new

Dont get confused , TT.

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 05:48 pm new

Aaah, J-Bay. A wave worth tuning in for. Sound off. Of course.

And wading in on here again. Sama sama. Hmmm...

Dale fucken Cooper?! Hah! Which one??

Heard tell of this little tale, Dougie?

Confusion say:

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Blowin Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 05:57 pm new

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 ?

Dale -Cooper Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 05:57 pm new

25 years, Shatner, 25 years.

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 06:05 pm new

Easy, BOB, easy!

Oh, and Confucius also said:

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Shoe fits...wear it.

Out.

Blowin Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 06:04 pm new

Wonder if JJF is sitting there right now thinking -" That's right , fucker !"

Wishing the world title could be determined with straight on head to head battles.

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 06:05 pm new

JJ, walk in the park.

Owen surfed well throughout.

flow Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 06:30 pm new

Connor underscored!

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 06:32 pm new

Totally.

Rabbits68 Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 08:46 pm new

"That is sketchy"..........Ronnie Blakey describing the boat tackling the line-up...

Well said :))

crg Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 09:04 pm new

Running the QF now? Tomorrows swell?

flow Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 09:30 pm new

it's a restart

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 09:40 pm new

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.

flow Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 09:44 pm new

Yes. They said the judges didn't have the footage of Connor's barrel. I don't think it's going to matter...

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 09:45 pm new

Ha- not now anyway.

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 10:39 pm new

Fark, that aint no Mako.

stunet Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 10:46 pm new

Yup...big fella.

freeride76 Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 10:49 pm new

Fanning in the water, Turpel on the mike, getting the old band back together

kaiser Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 10:51 pm new

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...

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 10:56 pm new

Bloody Mick, shark magnet.

kaiser Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:00 pm new

Mick has yellow fin plugs!!!

Also a nice red and yellow sleeve on his wettie

Rabbits68 Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:08 pm new

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........

carpetman Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:09 pm new

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.

kaiser Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:12 pm new

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

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:38 pm new

Frederico, beautiful surfing. Deserved the 9.77

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:41 pm new

And then there's John...

zenagain Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:45 pm new

And back to Fred...

Fark, what a heat.

flow Wednesday, 19 Jul 2017 at 11:52 pm new

Incredible

zenagain Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 12:17 am new

What an incredible day of surfing.

upnorth Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 12:28 am new

That was pretty cool. Reckon JJF was robbed though 9.1 looked low and Freds 10 looked high imo.

udo Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:17 am new

What about Liz ...faark what would be going through her mind

Dale -Cooper Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 11:48 am new

Wow! Was the queen there too?

What a day!

What a write-up!

If Medina wins this, I predict the death of pro surfing as we know it.

fitzroy-21 Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 03:52 pm new

Geez, JS ripped that wave but looked in slowmo compared to Filipe's 2 waves. Can't fault this Brazzos surfing atm.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 03:56 pm new

Felipe Toledo - J'Bay Master.

Doesn't seem right...but there you go, fella's been doing the best surfing all week.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:00 pm new

Mogadon vs methamphetamine in this heat.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:20 pm new

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.
