Wow -- How good are the waves down there yesterday! Thank god for solid waves, get to see some power surfing and rail work. But I guess with John Johns performance at Margs, he will punt anything these days!
I thought Michel would have done better with his style :(
me too i dumped taj for the event and picked up michel and bede.. michel did not look good

all fst
I had big hopes for Michel and Melling, both lost in round 2. I felt like Michel got a little underscored on his 6.17 against Freddy. Those first two turns were really critical. I felt guys where getting bigger scores for 4 or 5 safe turns than 3 big, committed ones. It wouldn't have taken a much bigger score for Michel to slip through with Freddy having that interference call on him.
I had Freddy on my team too so I was always going to lose one of them, but I'd rather have seen Michel go through. He didn't look happy about it either.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
John John just cleaned up Wilko! Slater vs Muscroft... hmmmm. Im really liking Freddy P, his back hand is on fire, and reminds me a little of Bobby. Very different from Ace's backhand, which flows a lot smoother. But lets see some of these guys in the clutch situation, when guys like Slater, Parkinson, Fanning & Smith start showing their big time experience.
Hoping John John takes it out, such a nice kid :)
Buddy Kelly is ripping it!!!!.This guy looks like he can almost predict what the heck is coming. So much control...all this at his age!!

Have to agree, after a snapped board and the count down on, he pulled out a sick AR in the bowl... OMFG!
BELLS Ok, props to Mick, good hard work by both surfers.. But that last wave scoring comparison side by side show'd a different score on my card...Sorry, I had to say that ...

I didn't see today's surfing but I see Slater caught 13 waves to Fanning's 3. He really is desperate to win and at 40 yoa and 11 world titles the desperation isnt dissipating. I have to confess I don't understand why he doesn't want to pursue other interests, but then again I never had the single minded determination to even win a heat, let alone a world title.
Yes, I never won a heat.
