http://www.aspworldtour.com/events/2014/mct/664/billabong-rio-pro/live Looks pretty fun out there for the first day. They haven't gotten the sound sorted out on the webcast yet, but the comp is live. Aaaaaand I pulled a complete bone-headed move. I was shifting my FS team around last night then hit "revert" before going to bed thinking the comp wouldn't start until 8am.... Needless to say, I might be destined for a last place... I pretty much pulled a Slater.
I made an account and don't even use it. I guess I'm just too lazy to understand how. Meh, whatever, I just like to watch the comps.
there has to be better waves in brazil. i get you want to run it in rio since it's a major city but if the ASP insists on a Brazil they have to come up with a better option then this stuff.
ridiculous . . . . why even run the contest its a disgrace to the "best" surfers in the world, and the people who have to watch. Bourez said he was surfing a epic left not too far from the contest. . . why not go there?
anybody see medina lose on the last half minute to t.logie? true grit. somehow logie found a bomb and i bet medinas' tears have returned. he really stole victory from the jaws of defeat.
Man, there are WAY better spots all over brazil. Some of the brazilians I knew told me tales of epic waves further south, almost down by the end of the country... Knew a guy that married a chick from an island down there and he swore to me that there were reefs and points on this tiny island and the culture was like a hawaiian vibe, not a bunch of crack peddling junkies and cartels thugs.
seriously michel bourez? honestly missed the final day today but oh man how did he win another event?!
He surfed very bad waves a little tiny bit better, from a scoring standpoint, than the rest of the incredibly talented surfers surfed the very bad waves. They need to get out of town before the real clown show arrives in a few weeks. Hope they have rounded up enough of the crack whores, junkies, cartel wannabees and rif raff, and stored them in a far away camp, hidden from the media until the world cup is over. Maybe that way, 6 people world wide may actually get tricked in to thinking that Rio is not a crack infested, steam pile. I mean, how did Putin put syrup on a turd and call it a pancake, I mean Sochi (minus the hotel social media blasts) and Rio haven't even finished building half of their stadiums.... Brazil to the World: "Ohh we got this, we don't need no stinkin help".
Florianopolis my friend, I made the brilliant decision to study abroad there in college. How sweet life used to be...
