    The premier surf contest in the world is going on right now with 15 foot waves. There was a lot of excitement when I posted the Tahiti event here so I started this thread. Waves aren't nearly as life threatening as the last but it's still big Pipe which is still way more dangerous than catching a ball in front of Ray Lewis 8 years ago.

    Here's the webcast link:

    I know, but it's still pretty cool to watch people ride 15 foot waves in water 3 feet deep over sharp reef imo. I wouldn't post unless the waves were big enough to induce death and serious injury.

    This morning it was big and messy but now it's really cleaning up and looking like perfect Pipe. John John just got the first perfect 10.

    Yeah, it's much cleaner today and once the tide drops a bit it will be barrel after barrel. Parko's heat up now. Best style on tour by far.

    This story might be a lil funny to you Fresh since you're a surfer.

    I'm a pretty good skier but I was never all that good at skateboarding or snowboarding. I always had a lot of love for skateboarding tho. I finally tried surfing last year when I was in Oahu.

    So I take lessons one day and I'm able to go out and catch some of the dinky waves fairly quick (just have to paddle your ass off!!) So I go surfing the next day and I got a couple beers in me and some ganja and I wanted to ride the bigger waves where all the locals ride. So I paddle out and eventually make it out there. I see a nice wave coming but an even bigger one behind it!! So I skip the one wave but when I'm getting ready to catch the big one behind it some hardcore local dude catches it right in front of me (he was a lil further out I didn't even see the dude). So I'm like o fuck I try to get out of his way but there's no way I can spin around and immediately duck dive this wave with this big ass 10 foot longboard I'm using.

    I end up getting flipped by the wave and the big ass longboard squirted out of my arms like a scud missile. It narrowly misses the hardcore local guy and wipes him out. When he surfaced the first thing he said was "you fucking hali!!" He then threatened to drown me if I ever let go of my board again LOL. I was actually kinda pissed because I thought he was just being a bitch but I guess I didn't realize how dangerous flying surfboards can be.

    If I'm ever in that situation again I will prob die before I will let go of my board again. I didn't realize that it's the cardinal sin of surfing.

Those guys sure get tough when they have 6 of their friends with them!!

    Haha. I grew up surfing Oxnard which used to be known as a pretty localized area and couldn't count how many fights I've seen from people dropping in on locals. Never a good idea. It's mellowed out a lot since I was in highschool. Back then we would get our asses kicked for snaking someone no matter how old they were. If I was 16 and snaked a 30 year old I would get a broken nose and just take my lumps cause I deserved it and tried to earn my spot in the line up. Today 15 year olds talk shit to older locals because they know they'll get arrested if they smack em around. Times have changed.

    i used to bodyboard a lot when i lived in NJ...i took a trip to san luis obispo a few years ago and took my sponge out at some shorebreakish type wave. it was big, 6-8 foot id say and very heavy. there were a few locals, and they seemed to instantly be pissed off at the sight of a sponger... i was enjoying the threatening looks until one of them dropped in on me. i grabbed his leash and he went headfirst over the falls. snapped his board in half. he challenged me to a fight but as soon as he saw i was game he immediately backed off.

    localism is probably the gayest thing in the world...locals do not own the beach, contrary to what they think. most of the "heavy" locals are just white trash who dont have jobs and are just general all around pieces of shit.

    this coverage is so much better than anything I have ever seen. never been surfing and I have learned a ton just from context. the number of cameras, the directing, the commentary, it's all top notch, I can't say enough about how good this is.

    same. i've never been surfing. always have wanted to (it's on the top of my bucket list). i've always been fascinated and loved looking at surfing videos/pictures/etc. i don't know a ton of the jargon, but im quickly catching on due to this awesome coverage.

    I can't argue with that. The best are the Malibu locals, too. I just can't feel intimidated by a trust fund baby with brand new top of the line everything.

    I was freaking out during that heat! What a nail biter. I'm so amped to surf right now after watching that. Waiting for my friend to pick me up.

    Semi final heat Parko vs Slater will be epic if the waves come in.
