Fingers crossed the event gets good waves.

How mintage is that

Remigogo Monday, 9 Aug 2021 at 02:54 pm new

And I have long toes. So I will keep my toes crossed.

I fear early onset of boredom if small competion size available throughout window.
Avoid viewing Brazilian storm may be prioritised to keep my head level ;)

This must be from earlier in the year yeah?

even if they got swell, doesn't look a patch on '06

Hopefully we get to see guys just pump down the line and miss every available section then try an air reverse at the end of the wave and get excellent scores.....

Looks so sick, such a skatepark at that size. Wish I was there :0

Anyone on here ever visited and surfed the place . I have it on my bucket list . Hard to surf and stay there ?

Not anymore by the look of the hotel on the beach...I wonder it that's right there or nearby

11/12

11 - smokohontus. Plenty of sand. Able to jump off pretty much at rocks at the end. Hollow section on take off in to a bit fat but good for turns through the middle into another hollow fast section.

12 - devoid of sand sue to hurricane ripping it to shreds

How good does Morgs look out there. He has grabbed the torch and run so fast with it. Clearly Australia's best surfer at the moment by a long margin.

I reckon Owen looked way more impressive than Morgan.

Absolutely wailing on those waves and bringing out the full backhand repertoire.

Surfalot67 Monday, 9 Aug 2021 at 07:30 pm new

Agree RM, his small wave game looks on point

Occasionally being a pro surfer looks great. Love surfing long right sand bottom points. Watching contests in long right points is also good.

That surfing was inspirational ....especially that backhand attack. Good luck Aussie team

Looks a tad better than Tokyo.

To use that swimming gold medal girls words" Fuck Yeah"

Sand problem has been rectified, key won't go in, thus the pitch is much improved.
