http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti13 Thought I would go ahead and post this before I head out for a knee-slapping dawn patrol. The South Pacific has been really active so far this year--should be an epic contest. Redbull is doing their "21 Days" series on Jordy and CJ for this comp, haven't seen it yet but I bet it's good. For all my fellow FS'ers: Get ready for me to take the lead.
I still have the last one saved on my DVR at home, I throw it on every now and again, perfect waves, best surfers, sick
The trials are over in the worst conditions ever! http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti1...abong-pro-tahiti-main-event-wildcards-decided And to all those hoping Owen is better was going to make it.... sorry. There's gonna be a lot of wild cards in this event due to so many injuries this year--should be interesting. Plus... JOB dropped in on Ricardo then punches him in the face! WTF!?!?
i watched the first 2 parts over the weekend & it's pretty solid...i think they may have blown their load by doing fanning & parko for the first one, but it's still a pretty cool concept. the contrast in lifestyles between cj & jordy is very stark.
New Update: Freddy P might not make it there in time!!!! This contest just keeps getting interestinger and interestinger. Time to switch up the team..... again.
This Surfline Q&A is interesting, makes you wonder when someone suddenly becomes "injured" http://www.surfline.com/community/whoknows/whoknows.cfm?id=953
I can get behind that but not in this case. The waves are only going to be OK at best... it's making picking an FS team a complete beayotch.
I'm going to post my current picks in the clubhouse forum on FS. I wanna show y'all what I'm going to beat you with this time. I'm having faith that Freddy will make it there.
**** i think freddy is on my team.... i might have to take him off by midnight haha. stoked this is getting ready to start
I cant wait for this to start. If the wave breaks here... Don't be here, or your gonna get drilled How Not to Surf Teahupo'o http://actionsportsvideos.tv/surfing-videos/
Erock, what are you hearing bout my man Freddy? Still not sure where you found that yesterday, I've been like scouring the web for updates/news and not finding anything. Gonna have to make some rapid adjustments if he no shows. Also, can I still join the SI Crew FS club, I've had the team going all year in a different club so I've got the results, but not sure if it will just carry it over?
its only the young aerialists that keep getting injured.you dont see parko or ke11y getting injured because they have nothing to prove.the young guys want to boost the highest and end up breaking their ankles.is john john still in?hes the only aerialist im interested in,since most of the other guys only do well in sloppy beachbreaks and chopes is a monster to reckon with.just hope they get a good swell so it can be epic.last year kind of sucked,didnt really see the whole thing but i watched the final with mick and parko.they were threading some long barrels,but it was fun and playful.the year flores dropped a perfect heat,thats what i want to see.when you have perfect waves,and each ride by both parties is a high score,thats whats its all about.the last few comps guys were making it to the quarters with a 6pt total over 2pts.why even throw a comp in conditions like that?when guys are trading off perfect 10s and 8s,thats when the show turns on.il be rooting for mr ke11y
According to his Instagram he's there. It was all just drama and rumors conjured up by KC I bet. I'm not sure if your team will carry over, I've never tried to join a club mid-season. Give it a go! What's the worst that can happen? (don't answer that!)
not sure i'd classify jjf as an aerialist, more like the complete package. the kid can boost w/ the best of them (or better) & charges massive surf that no other guy on the 'ct wants a part of. he was apparently in south africa paddling into massive dungeons & other spots a couple weeks back & has paddled jaws alongside dorien, the longs, & other assorted nuts. he's one of the few on tour who'd be genuinely comfortable in whatever conditions chopes decides to provide.
