Nice man. Keep up the good work.

Coryn Daniel I certainly did. Waves picked up nicely. Didn't watch everything because of time zones.

Some of those drops looked absolutely insane.

How about yourself?

Coryn Daniel there seem to be several streams on youtube. So it's all good. Let's hope the waves pick up.

John Kuras let’s hope so! The waves were absolutely spectacular last year. Stream was terrible though. At least those seem to have improved a lot.

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.
