Pipe Masters Fantasy Surfer Discussion

i'm confused about jordy dropping out...posted on the fantasy board about it. anyone have insight? injury? not in contention, so he said "**** it" & went home?

i'm pretty comfortable w/ my team. i've got 2 wild cards, dorien & lau, but i feel like they're solid bets...dorien is a master & zeke lau seems to be on a tear at the moment. doesn't look like it's going to be a barrel-fest w/ so little swell on the horizon, but it should be a decent comp all the same.

any thoughts on who's going to walk away w/ the crown? i think mick has to make the semis to win & kelly has to win the whole comp. the only thing is that mick hasn't ever really had much competitive success at pipe.

 

JJF
Slater
Kerr
Damo

Michel

Dorian

 

Erock - Same here, I changed my team 3 times. I originally changed it to include the hobgoods but then I read the swell direction was going to shut down the lefts, so I switched it to all regular footers (except for my freddy p.). Thanks for setting this up and making it happen, made the season much more interesting.

While writing this I just seen someone get an insane barrel on the cam!

My new team:
Slater-Doesn't come off the squad
Fanning- same reason
JJF- duh
Bourez- Triple crown front runner and pretty good in these conditions
Seabass- why not
Freddy P.- Hunch, although I'd rather have Perrow but his draw looks rough
Bruce Irons- I don't know why
Ezekiel Lau-draws good and he knows pipe
Shane Dorian- Alternate because of his superb acting skills

I was starting to analyze it too much. I aint winning any trips and I probably couldn't win the league so Im just gonna let it ride. All I'm hoping for really is an awesome contest.

 

I've change my team around ten times so far but this is what I got right now
Fanning
JJF
Damo
Bourez
Adriano
Freddy P
Flores
Nat Young

 

I got:
Fanning
Slater
JJF
Damo
Dorian
Seabass
Michel
Zeke
Alt.
Reef
Trying to get a good mix for both goofy and regular and for people have some real interest in winning this thing

 

interesting. kind of a bummer; i had him on my team for the last few comps & was going to keep him. has he even had any good results in hawaii or in large scale surf? i genuinely don't know...


my team:
slates
mick
nat young
2xj florence
ceej
seabass
dorian
zeke lau

alt: reef mcintosh

 

done, easy picks

 

How do I join said league?! Need something to be able to ponder for hours about after ripping ze piece! This league sounds like a blast in all seriousness how do I join?

 

I get overly nostalgic with my pics. I'm like "go America, yeah! I'll take Paddy G as my alternate!"
By no means has he proven much in reef barrels...but FS is a fun way put even more equity into who I'm going for anyway.

 

your the 1st to post brucey irons,with Idk why,and il add how the phuk don't u know why.bruce been the man at pipe for the past decade,he just fell off the radar once his bro died.bruce has always been my fav out of the irons bros,both rip equally good and I just love the shyt bruce preached.he used to talk about how quik and billabong would do interviews with the 2 like which one of u surfs better and hed be like whos house is bigger,whos car is nicer,who the fuk cares.they used to rival the 2 to sell products and bruce called them out for it,and that's why u don't see bruce anymore.he sed fukit,and while most of us don't get to see him surf anymore believe he still rips better than everyone on the wct.u could really only compare bruce to dane Reynolds,they both hated the tour and competin in shytty waves.they would rather be a freesurfer and surf epic waves whenever they want.

anyway I don't play fs,but il put my pick on mick winning the world title,jjf coming in equal 2nd or 4th,depending on wave conditions.i just hope this isn't another pipe contest where guys like cj lose to a 5.6 wave total because they run when the swells drop.if ke11y wins the world title,il buy everyone in florida a shot.all mick has to do is make it to the quarters,and for someone like mick its not hard.but don't forget slater beat mick at Fiji,beat mick in the semis at the goldcoast.mick rips but I don't think hes a smart competeter

 

well that was a lousy start lol down 2 out of eight already

 

lost both my wildcards in their first heats...kind of a bummer.

i know he's a good surfer & he got some great waves, but it's really disappointing to me to watch bruce lose to gabby, esp. after how he surfed in his first heat.

 

Cepriano- I jokingly wrote "I don't know" next to Bruce's name. I always put him on the team when he's competing cause hes a pipemaster , great surfer and ever since AI passed I've been waiting for him to tear up the tour and battle against Slater like he was doin it for AI and his spirit and all that cool stuff but unfortunately lifes not like the movies..

its not like a box of chocolates either so I know what I'm getting when I pick him- a guy that's not getting passed the 3rd round probably ever again. That's why I dropped him before the competition. Some people need good waves (and priority) to show how great they are and good waves don't always come every heat.
