WOW i wish i was there CB bis my dream break
Restaurants is the best wave in the world, I reckon!
did Kelly surf those waves? he had some big boards……
@ASP was occy invited to this event?would occy have taken the invitation?i wish occy got a wildcard especially him being so high in the rankings he should be given the chance with no question,,its perfect surf for occy as i watch the top rated surfers in this event i just imagine occy easily completely mixing it up with these guys,but hm i wonder if the asp would really want occy on the tour as they want this soo called progressive surfing but looking at sum of these guys they dont even come close to occy in quality waves even that occy is 45 as in surf like this it comes back to power and style.
Don’t think Occy was invited by the event as a wildcard. Wouldn’t have mattered with regards to ratings’ points as event wildcards don’t receive them.
oh ok thanks ,damm would luv to have seen him mixing in up anywayz.Gland,tahiti,fiji dream tour yes yes please jbay,sunset and then mix it up with australia ,france etc
just love adriano’s surfing..
CJ is still rockin!
sure wish I could watch the “worlds best” surf CB. Maybe while the ASP event is run at resties we can watch the worlds best surf CB, I’m sure they are there right now. What a bummer!!
