I would not paddle out there today - out of my league for sure. A couple big clean up sets that would stop me. Outside of my comfort zone. The 3rd reef is rearing up at times. Otherwise its as perfect as you can imagine. I reckon Drip would probably give it a crack.

C'mon mate, those second reef ones look like a nice easy roll in...

One of my Mate was there at Xmas during a big swell and said, no way, not ever.

Slater for the win...boom

On a board made by a company he owns
At contest run by a company he part owns

...he surfed the best by a country mile

Is it just me or did the telecast for this **** all over anything the WSL have done?

Yeah but the commentary lacked a little at times - no real opinions on things - but great back slapping - maybe too scared to say the wrong thing ! Insane contest though with 112 people battling it out at perfect Pipe. Loved the view from the drone just in front of the lip looking down into the pit. Hope they can do that at Fiji and Chopes.

Amazing to think how hard it must be to get a wave out there on a normal good day - all the comp guys - 100 plus, more travelling pros - another 50 plus maybe more plus all the old guys and young guys who do not compete anymore or yet and then all the people who do not compete.

Good luck sneaking a good one !!!! !!!!

Even though it's not on its the best dawn patrol I have seen by a country mile. Well worth a watch. It's like a doco. Some great names chipping in on the commentary panel.

Did anyone catch slaters snap during the final of the Volcom.....on his 3rd wave he gets a 2nd reef roll in and then just goes square of the bottom and unloads on the lip....I'm chucking it out there that it was almost as good as Tommy Guns back in '91...wave was a bit smaller but slater was in the lip and Tommy was only mid face

Not 100% on the comp dates but I'm out of town from the 11th for 2 weeks and the comps on around that time.

Mate the Boardroom is at Miami,I've not heard of there being one in Cooly ?

So are we going to catch up a few beers at the smokehouse Mac? Should be through Bali around the 15/16th for a night on route back to Sydney. Be good to catch up.

Might have to do a date change to the 13 if suits. Just had to re arrange a few meetings. Flip side is I am spending this weekend there now instead of in Jakarta. Stoked.
