If you need some inspiration on how to ride your SUP click on the link below to watch the J-Bay event live. Should be on Fuel also.
Best surfers in the world riding epic waves. 4-5ft of epic J Bay on right now.http://www.billabongpro.com/jbay10//live/
Occys comments on Lukes Board were good. Munners rides Muzza's boards. Bourton shapes.
Still havent convinced Muz to shape me a SUP. I seen him catch a wave on one of Simons SUP's the other day, always said he'd never get out of the creek, not his bag. BUSTED! I was pointing and laughing at him.
CMC thanks I just rocked in from work and need some chill time
Parko,will be spewing with that swell,probably laying back total depressed
man he kills that type of wave, it really suits his style.
Yeah lovin it live on Fuel TV as well, on the big screen surround sound on. Kelly in the water now vs Damo Hobgood!
I know what i'll be doing for the next few days!
Jordy smashes it !! He's a big boy too !
Kelly just got a nice one, 7.83. Round 1. His back-up wave will become his No.1 wave.
The local crew are surfing really well too !! Such a similar wave to Winki-Pop.
Massive slash / hack from Taj just then.
How good is the surf those guys are so patient with there big moves (Power Hacks).Just loved watching it.
Judging was really hard they really needed to string it all together to get the big scores.
Hope the swell holds.

hard to judge it when the pros are riding it but it the fastest, most down the line point break ive ever ridden, would be awesome on a sup but the locals would never let it happen.
I'll be there in the Supertubes barrel in a few weeks. All the Pros will be gone so I can't wait. CMC you would love it if you've never surfed it before. V-Australia now fly to RSA so the flight tickets have become fairer.
No SUP's at Supers (maybe at the Point).
Here are some pics I took on my last trip over there:
This one shows you just how heavy the rocks are there
Here is one looking up the point from the end of "Supertubes", near "Impossibles"
If you make it through "Impossibles" then this is what is waiting down the line! "Albatross" is right at the end and it is a long way away from here.
This is looking from the Judges area you see on the web towards the inside section near "Indicators".
Wow !! Thanks for those Pics Mikeman. It's even longer than I thought !! Bells, connecting into Winki, connecting into the Superbank !!
Bottle's 10 was wave of the day, surfed perfectly !
I can't remember which old surf video has an amazingly long ride at J-Bay. 1 wave, the guy makes all the sections..... It's like 5 in 1 (5 waves in 1). Ahhh, point breaks, that's exactly what I came back to Vicco for ! If I was goofy, I would live in either WA or Indo.

Edit;
Tune into FUEL TV folks !! It's a no contest against Better Homes and Gardens !!
Friday night, a beer, J-Bay, and listening to Occy to dribble on.... perfect !
Urghh, Where did the swell go???
2 Aussies out in 2 heats, blehh.
At least an aussie will win this heat, Luke Stedman and Drew Courtenay, yewwwww!!
Finals day on right now.
1/4 # 4 in the water now.
My fantasy surfer team has taken a beating. GO TAJ!!
Wow, Jordy Smith, respect after that heat. Hats off to you son. Bad luck Bede but it was edge of your seat stuff.
Jordy is a hot surfer. He's been a genuine stand-out at Bells & Winki lately, in the Rip Curl Pro.
Jordy & Taj will leap frog Kelly on the ratings. Kelly pics up 17th and 1750pts, and Jordy goes Top of the Table !! Kelly & Taj get the option to drop off their poorer 17th places... we will wait and see !! (I think they drop their 2 worst performances during the season).
