    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.

    Seems like Freddy P & CJ get lowballed on scoring. One man's humble opinion.

    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".
