Billabong Pro, Tahiti – On the verge
This is what you’re hoping to see in eight days’ time. Who knew that, according to the 34, the highest-scoring waves are the ones you don’t think you’re gonna make? Commitment is rewarded in kind. Kelly Slater, Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson and plenty of others say that it’s either the best barrel or worst wipeout of your life on a big Chopes day.
Not sure how you got to thinking that lenny wanted to surf it Curren but I believe he was just wish for macking surf again for the comp like thousands of others. Maybe 2ft Huntington beach is more your style .
If Joe Turd-pel commentates this event, I’m gonna kill myself.
well, this comment is so idiotic you should try to tatoo your phrase on your forehead, to remember how stupid you can be every morning…
PS: I hink now that stupid as you are, you can also have a limited hygiene, and therefore rarely look at your own face in a mirror. But at the same time, to write such dramatically stupid comment shows an oversized ego, so even though it’s not for the good reasons, you should watch your face in a mirror. Good luck.
The only thing Medina can do if the mega swell hits during chopes is tweet from his room.
Wens Occy heat!
what I would give for another code red mega swell.
c’mon huey get it done!
Yep a little redemption after cloudbreak would be great. Be nice to see medina and a few others take on some 10ft death kegs.Who knows they probably will take off but it would be nice to find out.
yeah len bet you’d be out there too………hellman

Amusing,is it joke or joker can’t tell,fuck your a nerd
It’s better than thinking of ones self as curren. Your a kook a can tell that though!!
i hope its fucking huge. 3 ft surf is not the reason the tour heads there every year.
3 ft waves at Teahupoo will always be better than 4 ft waves at HB.
This guy who calls him self a Curren should be ashamed of him self to tarnish the name of a surfing GOD is one thing but to make a joke out of him self is something else.
Your immediate aggression to jokers comment shows you grovel in nothing more than Huntington slop at best.
Try harder you try hard Curren.
Cheers bud but that’s my sir name,and like you i admire Tom Curren but you also are a cyberdweeb like your foolish friend the JOKE ha ha ha
maybe his name is curren
fingers crossed for drainers
Like you would take off any way barrel rocker. Don’t wish for something you can”t handle.
hahahahaha classic I’m flattered, Ghost writers carrying on like pretentious little school girls putting my name to ridiculous comments to try and win cyber friends hahahahaha Johnny flo is the go with stone’s of steel yeah barrel rocker keep rocking bra yew

i think medina is proving himself mate and you dumb fucks just cant handle a young brazilian being a title threat. Im aussie too by the way before you brazzo bash me. he may not have the best style or flow in the big juice, but he still gets out there. would you ya dog? i know i wouldnt and i’d bet my left nut you wouldnt.
Although a valid injury, its convenient that Chloe is unable to prove himself, especially after zipping away before the big swell at Tavarua. Hope the swell pumps, and men will be separated from the boys that love Huntington chop hops so much. Anyone up for powdered doughnuts?
very convenient injury isnt it? chloe should just throw himself over the falls on a monster, just to silence the internet haters. but we all know that wont happen
Wens Occy heat!
1999
did see khloe with did chowing on a burrito 3 or 4 weeks back…was wearing boots and limping quite a bit.
He IS really hurt, but unless Dino took him home and spanked the shit out of him after he punched his board in half In Fiji, he should never have missed that swell. I should clarify that I’m not sure I would have paddled out either, but as Chloe is the next Golden Child according to the hype machine that is SoCal surf media, he should be at least present. If he gets the injury wildcard next year, and not Jadsen or Dusty, then this is truly a rigged game.
Chloe=paper king. JJ=real thing.
If Joe Turd-pel commentates this event, I’m gonna kill myself.
Can i get paid in cash upfront billabong
Kolohe Andino is really good, and you guys cannot even imagine to surf the way he is surfing, just have a look at how he was surfing in Ballito last year, in huge barrels, and there are plenty of vids everywhere of Andino surfing great, not only in small waves.
You guys would like kids of 18 years old to surf like Slater or any othere experienced guys. The only one able to do so is JJF, just because he was born and raised in the best waves of the world. Give Andino a chance, he qualified last year because he won 4 or 5 events quite in a row, something Dane Reynolds, for instance, cannot even imagine. This is competitive surfing, and if you prefer big wave surfing or freesurf, just don’t watch and criticize those doing the tour.
Andino, Medina and JJF are still the guys intersting to watch in omps, with Simpson and Wilson, but you know what? Next year, with guys like Glenn Hall, you’ll like it! Guys knowing how to do big turns in huge waves…It’s gonna be really fantastic…
And he will drop off tour cause he’s not ready. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t surf great. In California, Kolohe gets way too much hype, in fact more than JJ, and that’s why he gets criticism. Don’t blame Kolohe, but the ridiculous SoCal media machine, that squirts all over themselves trying to crown the next great thing from down the street. The promotion is nothing new, but the ones they choose never live up to the expectations heaped on them by glossing them too soon. kolohe just doesn’t charge. Period.
Right! The kid is not telling me he is the best, and since I’m not in Cali, I can’t see no hype about him. He won contests and qualified, like so many guys before him. Remember Tanner G? Josh Kerr came and went before getting good results, and there are so many of them…
We’ll see what could happen with Andino, but the kid deserves his seat, at least for this year.
Yeah mate
Yeah ok who cares. Now,place your bets boys who you got your money on? I’ll go with Kelly . Always pretty safe bet.
The forecast is not that good for the first days…In small Teahupoo, everybody can win, but Slater is not everybody…So yes, Slater, or Medina, or Pupo, or Wilkinson, or Wright, but Slater, or a goofie
” it’s either the best barrel or worst wipeout of your life”
Sadly, I can’t imagine the barrel, but I easily can imagine the wipeout.
GO FOR IT! All the men on tour have the skill, CONFIDENCE!
