He's not injured.
It's just an excuse to come back to WA and sail in the WWA triple crown

It's on right now. Big waves, live drone footage. So cool!

Naish gets the wave of the afternoon seconds after the horn sounds putting a hold on the event.
Great drone work.

Robby and the Nut sailed really well in that heat in tough conditions.

I love the comp and the sick conditions, great footage, but Cesare is not a natural presenter! This sport deserves the best, and we have plenty of great personalities to fit the role.

that's why KAI KATCHADOURIAN : US 33 is the main presenter and does a fantastic job with Rob Funk.

maybe you only watched 20 mins when Kai was out on the water in his heat?

Agree 100%, if Kai wants a future in sports broadcasting, he could probably get it, his commentary added awesome color, honesty, and humor.
I listened to him around 12 to 15 hours over this last week, couldn't stop, loved the way he used his nick-names for the various competitors, including himself "Fly catcher", and stuff like "Kai "Waterman" Lenny doesn't even need a board, he could surf on his bare feet!".
Tomorrow, a HUGE swell, I hope it blows.

Haha I found the exact opposite. His commentating drove me insane. definitely prefer Profit, or even Justyna. Too much needless talk for me.

Side note, what actually happened to Jaeger, was hoping for a final between him and Polakow.

Jessica Crisp, a total legend and top sailor. Not many people in the event can claim to have represented Australia or any other nation in 1984 in LA at the Olympics for Windsurfing and still be a contender in the wave event in 2016.

Love this shot!
Kai being followed by thousands.

Swell too big with a lack of wind today, maybe tomorrow.
