Drug aware Margs'
I love to wax lyrical , especially when Brazilians maybe losing some skin trying to stuff themselves in and out of the box .

"My only small worry is that if Margs is as big as it could get, it might come down to who gets the biggest wave, which might come down to priority and in the right place at the right time."Yeah, well that's surfing mate..... That's how it is.... I've seen guys shoot 65 in the morning round of a golf tournament on day 4 and win the bloody event!!! The morning conditions were perfect... Hardly any wind....The guy teed off early, cos he wasn't in the lead.... The leaders teed off in the afternoon... But the wind blew up - gusty 20 to 30 k change at lunch.......... So the guy who played the previous 3 days 4 shots worse than the leaders was rewarded with the best conditions, and won the overall tournament......
Such is life......
But Thomo', I hope they hold the whole comp at Margs..... BIIIIG Margs lol....
I want a little taste of the box at least :)
No you don't .
The forecast is a little too hairy !
Im old school, I'm used to that kind of the box, don't need super clean razor line to get my salty fix
Psyched to see Jay Davies get a run out there, especially if it stays solid.

The Box!
How many heats do you reckon they'll get through before the swell gets too large?

Hard to say, tide is on their side but the south wind might even get 'em first.
Jadson is having a red hot crack the poor fella hahaha. I think all the Brazilians are going to "get injured in warming up"
Impressed by Halls effort.... Tried hard.... And Pupo surprised me.... Best thing is that this will be an ocean reading and endurance test.... The early world champs - MR, Shaun, Tc, Curren, were all great watermen....
Three days of watching this will indeed be a test of endurance.
Not into big, bumpy Maggies.
Your wife just called, stu.... She wants you to take her clothes shopping....... Enjoy...... ;)
Ummm. Can the commentators just shut the fuck up for 10 seconds? Please just let me hear the roar of the ocean..... Just for 10 seconds....
Yeah... lol...... Wilson looks good..... Margs looks like cyclonic sideshore Coolum bays on steroids..... Should suit Julian hehehe.....
yeah julian riding those peaks like a cherry rolling down a pavlova..
The box, aye?........ Medina needs to work the priority over.... Needs to do a "rabbit".... Otherwise if it's just pure surfing, Jay will do him...... Not the best goofy wave...
We've been talking about a few suggestions re' WSL.... Perhaps starting at 7.00am when it's cranking could be the go......
Council permits usually dictate the earliest possible starting time.
Hmmm... BIG priority mistake by Davies.... Will it cost him???
ps - Didn't take that into account re' starting time.... Cheers, Ben.....
pps - The box aint really the best comp wave.... But it's interesting to watch.... Would love to see what the rights/left at main break are doing.......
Fuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!! de Souza!!!!!..... Ps - craig , regardless of the de Souza barrel, I agree re' other thread.... Only writing here coz' I'm lazy.... I can click last comment and get straight to the end of thread....
Very nice barrel for De souza but seriously there should really be penalising for over the the top claiming.. any claiming for that matter.When did it suddenly become ok to claim ????
The box is nothing like a reverse Chopes..... Chopes seems heaps more predictable on take off......
Fuck, Josh was lucky he didn't snap an ankle.....
Ok... Got the espresso machine firing.... Popcorn... Let's do this :)
Tell one of the water camera guys to grow some and go over to the right lol
hehe.. owen busts a board between his legs.. apparently there's a "weak spot" .. hehehe
Yeah Shrek's barrel made Kelly tube yesterday looks like a cover up .
Judges need to drop scores by a couple of points
Put them high to pull the wool over the eyes of viewers
9.1 from Davies just for a tube only, good tube though
BUT, what happens when the next bloke gets same tube plus 2 big hacks and then an air off the close out section?
No where to move and advantages the lower scorer in a two wave total
It actually really annoys me, haha
Gee leroy , not sure your watching the same show . A barrel ridden at that size is rare .
As this swell builds , I'm tipping the competitors will learn their lesson and not even other try and get a third turn on the right , let alone lip launch .
Another nice pit...... Not super keen on the grab rail cutty, though.....
Yeah , I wish uplift was watching ..... Muscles often get in the way of style / flow and subtlety .
As for fighting gee forces and standing strong on the board , only time in tubes that big can help .

Southey, it was a great tube, didn't say that it wasn't and I did say that it was a good one..... : /
BUT what happens when the next bloke gets the exact same tube plus EXTRA scoring maneuvers that leave you going, did he really make that
The judges have got no room to move
Drop the scale by a point or two to leave the remarkable waves alive in the judging scale rather than being just 0.9 point ahead
Thata my 2 bob anyway
I agree with Leroy, but only just..... More like an 8.8..... Was still the better surfer....
Southey.... He's watching..... Just biding his time hehehe..... BTW, dunno if you saw my "theory" in the other thread lol
Salt - I can understand rail grabs on backhand barrels.... But hey... I'm not not school... I'm ancient school.....
Sponsored by Gillette lol..... Hey, Hawaii has the "triple crown".... perhaps Australia could consider "The southern cross"..... A trophy for the best performer over the 3 Oz comps....
jjf's cutback with Style! great match up him n jay. southern cross- awesome idea…wouldn't it need a fourth spot?
Jeremy's 7.5 was underscored against Jay, no?
Those turns were unbelievable!
"wouldn't it need a fourth spot?"......... Well...... I suppose the box and main beak qualifies as 2..... So that's 4 spots... Right? ;P Ok, Howabaouts a beer skulling comp as the 4th spot?
3 events, then the top two in the SCross have to surf off at Bondi.
Kelly just got hammered; he could be in trouble too (in the heat). Adriano firing.
Nah should be an arm wrestle at the tav , or midnight bomb main st on skatey .
How's the call that KP made on the wind , it was variable earlier and has got stronger offshore .
He wants a final at box bad , especially so the final highlights include carnage for mainstream news .
Spanner I see for tomorrow finish , is that swell will continue to swing more South even if the swell does hold in . If anything , winds easing incoming tide would be perfect to finish today . Kelly's board selection has cost him the title .
My swell prediction.....
