Reef Hawaiian Pro, Haleiwa LIVE

its MASSIVE today, wind might get sh!tty though....

 

time to watch the pipe cam all afternoon

 

hahaha today's north shore forecast.

 

now THAT would be worth watching!

 

saidthere was testicle difficulties,

 

How many times do you think they'll say "spicey"?

Benny B on the mic!

 

Mike Dunphy's heat about to start

 

Actually there doing the legends heat next with Sunny, Gerlach, Kaipo and Mike Ho... Should be sick

 

Starts up in 10 minutes

 

Too bad no one got that last bomb before the whistle. What a great wave for a contest!

 

As a beginner/learner I love watching live events / unedited recordings of live events because I feel like you learn a lot more about wave sense from them; i.e. you get to see what waves guys will paddle for, what waves they won't, how they change their position in the lineup relative to the sets coming in, etc. You also get to see them in whatever random / not the best conditions the contest happens to occur in... the zoomed-out view lets you see the sets rolling in, etc.

As opposed to edited surf/bodyboard videos where you only see the 30 seconds that someone is actually on a perfect/awesome wave; you never get to see what the other n hours(days? weeks? months?) of waiting/closeouts/wrong waves/etc looked like that it took to get that sick shot...

 

what heat does NJShredmachine surf in?

 

I think Haleiwa is too small for him, he only does Waimea

 

He gets a bye until the final. No reason wasting time having him surf heats. Everyone knows he's going to win, so they just put him in the final and let everyone else battle for 2nd place

 

that makes sense.... I mean at least now he gets to kick back on the beach with his smokin hot hindu's.

 

Round of 64 begins in 15 min.

So far the forecast after today isn't looking very good...
