It's going to be great viewing of the Billabong Pro Tahiti this weekend online or on Fuel TV.
From tomorrow onwards 8' + growing to maybe 15' on the weekend. It will be very interesting to see which of the top 44 actually take it on, who pulls out and who dissapears...
The pressure is on, not only the heaviest wave in the world but also the mid point of the season where the bottom 1/2 of the tour falls off tour, some of those guys have their careers on the line.
It's gonna be good......
thanks for the tip off, i,m loving the big wave surfing while sitting in front of the pc 
the last swell over there was great also!!!!
Word is, some of the boy's are going to pull the pin.
Quoting our friend Parko here,yesterday he said,bring it on!
Today he said, its going to be all time !When asked, what are
you thinking? his reply was unchanged,bring it on.Geez I love
Parko go mate
He also said,if you don't make the drop be prepared to cop two
on the head,knowing the safety guys are close bye he has no problem.
Just go Parko as you do.
I can't believe they've been calling "lay days" during swell that's 5-foot. It didn't get nearly that big at J-Bay. Jordy Smith has suggested that the ASP might want to consider a first-ever tow-in event for the World Titles. It'll be amazing to watch if this 15-foot swell materialises.
I won't be holding my breath while watching it in front of my PC. I'll be mumbling "hail mary's" to all those blokes "holding their breath" after getting smashed onto the reef. Parko's being cool, but I think this week is finally Taylor Knox's to show off a bit of experience.
hmmm, if some pull out, so be it. they have still surfed waves you and i wouldn't dream about going out in.
if they don't want to be out there whats the point. their men, they can make their own minds up
having middle aged has beens that never were beens(99 % of the general surfing public), hanging out to see who 'chickens out' and sniggering at them is just pathetic imo
thats will see me red for sure
ya its a scary spot but also at stake is the rest of the years world ratings. One has to weigh the risk vs points lost. I have been here on a 3-5 foot day and let me say its heavy man. My first wave slammed into the reef. Wave two was huge tube came out clean, as was the next few then got pitched and slammed again into the reef this time came up bleeding and rashes up. heavy is the word!!!!
The report I was just looking at is calling 10+ with a couple of 15 footers thrown in every now and again....should make for good watching as guys try to scratch into 10 footers all while looking over their shoulders to see if they are about to get mowed by a big one.....anyone remember Gary Green and Bryce Ellis (I think ) not paddling out at Waimea for the Billabong Pro in the 80's? Rob Bain did paddle out and promptly got mowed by a 30ft set and nearly drowned....
Just put your head down and I go.....**** its easy to say that from over here....hahahahahah
Adrian Buchan summed it up if your not comfortable out there you shouldn't be out there,Remember the Brazo Neco Padaratz he would get to the airport on his way there then turn around and go home..Rattled
Yeah but Neco nearly died out there before he started doing that.. i'd be rattled to.. Btw he did go back.

Watch for Cory lopez, freddie P and the Hobgoods
YEOW!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!
Great coverage ONLINE or if your up early Fuel TV broadcasts Live also. About 3.30am tomorrow morning (I think) 
BRING IT ON!!!!
My money is on KS for this one. His session at Cloudbreak would have set him up nicely for heavy Teahupoo. Go hard or go home - all the pros know that.
I'm on the other side of the planet, in Ghana, now so will have to miss most of the live action.
Just watched Ace Buchan get a 9.9 for a take off and barrel no turns. It wasn't overscored let that give you an idea how heavy it is and the commitment he showed.
