Finally Finals

The event that seems to have gone on forever has to finish tonight. Yesterday they ran three rounds in waves that look good in the video but were disgusting. If they weren't made to surf them I doubt anyone would have bothered. Still they were better than the onshore storm slop of the day before that round 3 was forced into.

As usual Rio and more widely Brazil has been a massive flop. The women had there whole contest run in 2 foot closeouts where two moves got you a 7 and three 9 but at least it was offshore. The men have had size but thats about it.

Taj and Yadin are out. Taj scored two 9 in non-elimination round 4 but got stung with an interference. This meant Slater in round 5 and the exit door. He now has a few knuckle marks in his Mayhem (watch the video)

The video shows just how great some of these surfers are and how good some of the lower ranked surfers are in crap when they can do airs on and aren't expected to do proper turns. Watch for the Superman, Slater and Jordy.

Pipe

Parko in the water at the moment hoping to get through and closer to a world championship. He is up against Pipe local Kalani Chapman.

In the first three heats of round three all the highest seeded pros have lost, including John Florence and Julian Wilson. Slater takes on Billy Kemper in heat nine, while Taj has Yadin in heat 10 and Mick Fanning has the hard task of Shane Dorian in the last heat of the round.

Conditions are pretty good but a bit smaller than yesterday. There is some wind messing the lefts a little.

Surf Movie Sunday

Another small batch to pick from this week. The end of summer in the northern hemisphere means a drop in the number of quality clips.

Here's part four of Yadin's journey.



Fractions.



Dane Reynolds and friends in Indo.



And some high-def women's longboarding to finish.

Insult

It's cleaned up since they went on hold and while it is still inconsistent there is enough tubes to make it fair.

Yadin in the water against an over scored Fanning.

Hold

The Rip Curl Pro in Portugal is burning through the waiting period. No consistent surf for a few days and now a massive storm is bering down on the contest site. The commentators are trying to talk it up but they are also trying to lay the foundations for a move to one of the back up venues where the wind will be side rather than onshore.

It's day 8 of 11 and they still have the bulk of round three to go. Even though it stays light for ages they still need a solid two days to run the event. It will be hard to squeeze out any extra time as the Cold Water Classic starts in the US on 1st November.

As usual Taj will be in the guinea pig first heat of whatever day they run. He always seems to end up going first and when the conditions are likely to be suspect he draws someone who can fluke a few waves and win. This time its Kolohe Andino who is desperate for any sort of result after not living up to his publicity so far. He is in danger of falling off the tour so will be a danger man for TB.

Yadin has Mick Fanning. The waves could be big and lean toward Mick because his poo stance isn't as suspect as in smaller waves. Parko will have to watch out for Dusty Payne and the rest of the heats are pretty even and could go either way depending on wave size and quality.

Surf Movie Sunday

Another crappy Sunday so here's something to do -

Can't go a week without another Taj clip ! This time in France.



A short film (25 minutes) on Greg Long and his approach to big waves from the guys at theIntertia.com. You can download it from their site for a short time.



The first Jaws session of the season.



Part three of Yadin's story.



And that's it for the week.

Portugal

Round one and half of round two of the Rip Curl Pro Portugal were run overnight. Jordy Smith was the only real shock elimination so far. Both Taj and Yadin are through to round three after dropping round one.

The waves were a bit mixed but if you got the right one it was worth a nine plus.

Round two finally over

It seems to have been going for ever but the Quikie Pro in France has only just finished round two and then went on a break.

Taylor Knox continues his run beating Adriano De Souza and he'll take on young gun John Florence in the first heat of round three.Yadin Nichol is out as are both Hopgoods and Josh Kerr.


Taj takes on Kolohe Andino, who finally made it into the third round. Slater has Jadson Andre, Joel gets Pat Gudaskas but Mick Fanning has dangerman Dane Reynolds. A loss here would hurt his title run but not be fatal.

With five days left and nothing perfect on the forecast expect the event to be a bit of a luck fest.

Surf Movie Sunday

Nice day and a hot one tomorrow. When you need some shade check out this week's selection, starting with some west aussies.

Yallingup's Jay Davies spend lots of time in Bali. Here's why.

i love bali from Elsegoodproductions.com on Vimeo.

Yadin's ongoing bio-series hits episode two where he talks about his broken leg.



Some new perspectives -
Mavericks from above


And a Slater eye view on Trestles (and the closest most of us will get to doing an air !)

Hurley burley

Slater's win at Trestles was his third title in a row, his 50th career win and continues his almost ridiculous winning streak there. He has moved up to third with four very winnable events to go in Europe, mainland US and Hawaii. If you drop the worst two results of the surfers Kelly is actually leading by 700 points. If he was to match or beat Parko and Mick for the rest of the season he would be the winner.

Taj dropped one spot to fall out of the top five with his fifth place finish. Yadin stayed out 27 and hadn't made it past round three this year.

The next event starts at the end of next week in France, followed two days later in Portugal.

Tired

Sat up (really laid in bed) watching the first three heats of the Hurley Pro last night. The waves early were clean and glassy but a little funky. Everyone was blowing moves and needed to be a bit conservative to get the scores. By afternoon it was onshore and ramping, making airs the go.

In heat two of round three Julian Wilson won riding the wining waves as the siren sounded. Next heat Taj won with the winning wave coming in the last 30 seconds. No surprises in the rest of the round with Yadin losing to John Florence.

Taj won his round four super heat against Slater and Julian Wilson, heading straight to the quarter finals. Wilson will take on Mick Fanning and Slater has Jeremy Flores.

Round Two

Round two is done as well, again in reasonable waves. The only real upsets were Owen Wright going down to the old man power turns of Taylor Knox. Knox is having a bit of a resurgence this year and while he might not throw airs all the time he can out hack the new school. Both Hopgoods are out as well.

Taj is against Adam Melling in the next round and Yadin has a very challenging heat against John Florence. That will be the last heat of the round and if the conditions are right could be a classic.

Hurley Pro

Round one is over and it was a good day for the west Aussies with both TB and Yadin Nichol winning their heats.

The waves were nice little peaks made for throwing fins. Big airs were getting the big scores, especially  if they were no-handers. Seems that claiming an air was given a scoring bump as well.

Amongst the others most of the heats went as expected. Parko missed out and will take on Connor Coffin in round two. Coffin will be in with a chance if Parko isn't on his game. John Florence didn't surf well and will take on another wildcard. Owen Wright was just beaten by Yadin by less than half a point and will meet tour vet Taylor Knox. Knox is one of the few remaining power hackers so his future relies on what the judges are picking on the day.

I put some money on Julian Wilson so of course he lost badly and will have a difficult round two against Jadson Andre.

As usual the contest website is top notch with a good webcast (in the middle of the night here) and heat analyser heats on demand. Fuel TV is showing every heat live for those with Foxtel.

Billabong Pro

Inconsistent waves for day two and round two. Most of the top ranked surfers got through with the exceptions being a rapidly fading Bede Durbridge and Jordy Smith, who would have been to big for the little tubes. Yadin Nichol also dropped out and adds another 33rd to his season.

Round three looks like this -

Heat 1: Mick Fanning (AUS) vs. Fredrick Patacchia (HAW)
Heat 2: Julian Wilson (AUS) vs. Adrian Buchan (AUS)
Heat 3: Taj Burrow (AUS) vs. Kai Otton (AUS)

Heat 10: John John Florence (HAW) vs. Brett Simpson (USA)
Heat 11: Gabriel Medina (BRA) vs. Alejo Muniz (BRA)

Much will depend on the conditions but Mick Fanning and Joel need to look out. If it is big Taj and Adriano will have a tougher day.

Watch the highlights from the first two days and look for Josh Kerr's double barrel right on day one !

Fiji on

The Volcom Pro is on in vicious double overhead Cloudbreak. Luckily round one is non- elimination as it is a very fluky.

Taj had a total of four in his heat and came last. Yadin was leading his with less than a minute to go before Owen Wright chucked a huge cuttie between two tubes.

The webcast is very high quality but the commentators aren't. You can watch it at the normal places, they are about five hours in front.

Yadin out

Yadin Nichol has been beaten by C J Hopgood in Rio. Yadin had a four and one plus. CJ had nothing until he pulled into the only real tube of the heat and got an eight. Parko was calling the heat and pointed out than today an eight is worth twelve.

Everyone is hoping they can it at the end of this round.

Round one almost done

Round 1 of the women was run in some pretty clean waves at Bells and then the wind made for some crumbly waves for most of the mens round one.



Taj was the only real seed to lose. Julian Wilson and Yadin Nichol both lost as well but all will get a second chance round two.

A massive swell was forecast before the event and they are still expecting some size in the next couple of days.

Round two

Quikie Pro is running men's round two after finishing the same round in the women. Conditions are ok, a bit onshore but with enough long walls to get some big scores.

Taj and Yadin are both through to round three as is Julian Wilson.
