I dropped Kolohe & Melling and picked up Damian & Freddy. My team for Fiji is:

Julian
Damian
Freddy

The rest I am saving to much money on to drop...even if I wanted too.

Kerr-$8,250 ($9,250 current value)
Jordy-$9,000 ($10,000 cv)
Fanning-$6,500 ($8,250 cv)
JJ-$6,500 ($7,500 cv)
Simpo-$4,000 (4,750 cv)


We will see if that strategy works out or not.

I'm watching live action from the heats on demand page. The regular live page loads for me, but no video.

My Daughter asked where's Fiji? Well, lets look at the map.

Had no idea how close its to Oz. Those bastages have it all, Fiji, Indo, smoking birds. Why didn't I realize this after college and just bolted there?

I'm a little perturbed at all the Transworld references. I'll say it first, Surfer, still after all these years. Never will subscribe or have never bought a Transworld Surf. Skate, yes in the day, but poop man, stick with the OG's.. Surfer, Thrasher, Penthouse. Sorry TSJ got too smug for my tastes plus its printed in China.

at Cloudreak you'll need to wax in a counterclock wise rotation because the water hits the reef and swirls clockwise, also, the water will be 79.3 degrees, so I'm having Nike formulate special wax just for this event.

Being a goofy, I'm not sure why 000 hates the Hobgobblins so much. They rip. Dig their collective style, too.

I heard the Down The line radio guys chirping about this. If the waves get huge like 12' Kohl CHirstienson big, and the ASP moves it to Restaurants, that's BS. Healey and Kohl surfing huge Cloudbreak while the "world's Best" surf 6' Restaurants? BS.

If I want to watch ripping I'll go to Dane's blog. We want the ASP top dogs in HUGE CLOUDBREAK!!

Worlds Best in Big Cloudbreak! No RESTAUARANTS! pass it on.

Looks like there is a huge and extremely fast jump in swell size on Thursday. 15'+ wave heights.

Thursday at 6am. Red is 20'



Friday at 6pm. Green is 15'

“I think that the main change since the last Fiji Pro is that all the guys on tour have a big wave performance act”

I think the reverse is true is reality. Apart from John John, Jordy, and maybe Bourez, the only guys who have a big wave performance act now are the guys who were on tour five years ago (Kelly, Parko, Mick, Hobgoods, Taj, Fred Patta) .
Who are we missing? AI, Bruce, Dingo, Sunny, Occy, Bobby.
Who have we got? Medina, Brett Simpson, Kolohe, Pupo, Jadson.
Theres gonna be a fair bit of skinny-legged nursing through turns on boards a few inches too short.
