The roasting of Mikey C masquerading as a contest preview/gambling advice… what’s not to like?

Here’s Stace Galbraith and Josiah Amico overlaid over West Australia freesurfs, making sense of the Main Break forecast, the (very strange) men’s current top 5 and the sudden disappearance of Stab’s Editor-In-Chief after finishing Bells with gambling debt to pay (it was about time he took an L). 

Thanks to a tip-off, the WSL is reportedly thinking of running the contest as early as tomorrow, and trying to wrap the thing in just two days. Think: overlapping heats from sunrise to sunset, women and men alternating rounds and a commentary marathon for those in the booth/on the glass.

Other topics covered here include: SITD star Ethan Ewing’s tough start at Bells, Miggy Pupo in yellow, the Aussie Treble leaderboard, why Hawaiians connect with WA, Jordy Smith’s boomerang transit path from Bells→J Bay→WA, underdogs and overdogs, wildcards, Griffin’s post-breakup spite run, the return of Jason Stevenson to the contest site and much, much more.
