The Mighty J'Bay Pro forum thread

stunet started the topic in Tuesday, 18 Jul 2017 at 02:06 pm

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.

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

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

fitzroy-21 Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:22 pm new

Swell not as consistent as yesterday

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:23 pm new

Serious question : Is Jordy crying right now ?

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:26 pm new

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 G Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:28 pm new

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.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:28 pm new

Did you see that wall Wilko just took off on ?

Better go get some tissues.....

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:31 pm new

"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.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:33 pm new

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.

fitzroy-21 Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:35 pm new

Wilko has lost his mojo this heat.

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

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:36 pm new

Zen : We've got to talk , mate.

Are you sitting down ?

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

No . Not even in an ADS kind of way.

Sorry , mate.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:40 pm new

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 )

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:40 pm new

I like Clown Wilko better than Serious Wilko.

I liked Kong beter than Gary Elkerton too.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:42 pm new

Wilko sniffing for a layback baz.

Could change my tune on him if he throws one down.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:45 pm new

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 ?

Gary G Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:47 pm new

Pretty sure that Gary translated to South African is: Jordy.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:47 pm new

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.

zenagain Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:50 pm new

Blowy, mate- I know. Trust me.

I just like his cheery disposition and sunny outlook.

Seems like a good bloke.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:53 pm new

The IMB Surf Masters? North Beach.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:55 pm new

That's why I'm all about Seabass.

That and the fact he's going to win every fucking contest till 2020 !!!!*

* May not contain nuts , shellfish or traces of the truth.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:57 pm new

That's the one.

We ran into him walking to the beach with his boards under his arms. On his way to make grown men cry . And Stoke out the grommets !

zenagain Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 04:59 pm new

I actually just tuned in, missed the Jordy/Toledo heat.

Can't believe they'd even bother paddling out in that slop.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:01 pm new

There's an insect running around on my TV and I'm way to comfortable to get up and fuck it off.

I'm torn.

As Stu said Zen , it's not Blax but the boys are putting on a brave face.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:02 pm new

Judges knocking the scale way the fuck down.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:02 pm new

Although it's only Gabs so it doesn't matter.

zenagain Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:03 pm new

Gabs deserved more on that wave.

Kinda softening my stance on his style a bit- looking real good out there.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:04 pm new

Solid, Fred. Solid.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:05 pm new

Yabba dabba.

simba Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:06 pm new

can this contest get any better?

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:08 pm new

That wind would be a nightmare to turn in at that speed but it's making those barrels gape.

JMB Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:14 pm new

Would've been good to see Kelly on these waves.

Dale -Cooper Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:15 pm new

Quick query boyz...how do you watch, 'engage' and comment on the comp all at the same time? Two hands wouldn't suffice, surely? Hired help?

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:17 pm new

Agreed. Dunno if he would've had the power to match the others but it would've great to see him stitch these these waves together.

lostdoggy Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:19 pm new

Dale, surfing is the easiest sport to do that. So much time between each wave.

stunet Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:19 pm new

I cannot believe I'm going for Gabby.

Fucker better wait for a set wave this time.

indo-dreaming Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:22 pm new

love this comp on days like this when its offshore means we get to see good power surfing and not just see guys fly down and pull one big air to try to get a 9 or 10.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:23 pm new

TT , sorry , Dale - I've got it chromecast onto a TV from my iPad and still use the iPad for everything else.

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:25 pm new

He's blown it

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:26 pm new

Quick - Fred or Toledo ?

Blowin Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:27 pm new

Oops , forgot about Julian.

zenagain Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:27 pm new

He's earned every heat. Well done Freddo.

batfink Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:33 pm new

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.

lostdoggy Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 05:35 pm new

But Indo, yesterday Toledo pulled two hail mary's and then kept going and going on the same wave.

Dale -Cooper Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:07 pm new

@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"?!

Dale -Cooper Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:11 pm new

@Blowie, the sound of one hand slapping?

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:26 pm new

Ha ha! What the fuck is the demographic on here again?

Who's got the soggy Sao?

Swoll-Nuts can imagine it's the 'Jesus juice' of, I dunno, Stuart Bedford-Brown?!

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:26 pm new

When in sad reality it was Sarge all along.

talkingturkey Thursday, 20 Jul 2017 at 06:27 pm new

Well, it is Jeffreys.
