Last year was the last one in fact. Won by a lifeguard on his lunch break. Eddie would've approved.

I wonder whether this one will actually go on. I know it's been called but the waves seem small by Eddie standards.

Ah really? I was kinda hoping for a rip curl stream as they seem to be sponsoring the event.

I hope so. Last time the steam was pretty bar though. You could hardly see what was going on.

I still don't understand why Vans is not streaming this...

If I remember correctly from that live it was mentioned that water does flow differently in one of those. That doesn't make it useless at all but it is not a 1 on 1 match either.

Not an expert by any means but here's my take: Water in the ocean is probably more of a circular / up down motion. Whereas on a flowing wave the water is constantly moving past. You can see it when you look at videos of people surfing those waves. To me the top turns look less flowy. They sort of have to cut the turn short to avoid coming off the back.

Anyways: give it a go! No harm in trying.

Not that I’m aware off. But you comment something like: commenting to bookmark for later. You can find all the things you’ve posted etc in your own profile. Maybe that’ll work?

How about hitting the bank on the right, then hitting the left corner (backside turn), then the other corner (front side turn)

Loved that.

Also enjoyed seeing your home break! Looked quite clean, is it often like this?

A lot better than the last one. On that second turn focus on looking across diagonally to the top of the lip and you'll get it. As Hadyn Wood mentioned on the previous post you need a lot of speed to lean that far. Or rather, leaning is the only way to actually turn when you're going a lot faster.

Great bus to be on. We've got t-shirts.

To me it mostly looks like you're overthinking it. I've seen you way smoother than that. I think you're trying to get your head lower?

My tip would be to put something on the coping to help you do the turns on that section in the back. Like two cans of beer on opposite sides. Instead of trying so hard just look at those (and point with your back hand) You body will sort itself out.

Plus you can have a beer.
