Damn, I can't believe how busy its been at Trestles this week, steady from 6 in the morning to 7 at night.
I watched the swell start to come up this afternoon in Northern San Diego
With the waiting period starting tomorrow and swell forecasted all week it should be good
I'll watch it from the web cam between surfs
Slater just came from behind to win it.
I should want to cook him a simple meal, but I shouldn't want to cut into him, to tear the flesh, to wear the flesh, to be born unto new worlds where his flesh becomes my key.
A constant thread through the contest was someone trailing a needing a big score in the last couple of minutes of the heat. Well, it was almost like clockwork that a wave would come and the surfer would tear apart the wave, get the score, and win the heat. I guess the exception was in the semi-final when Bebe Durbidge needed a score, caught a good wave a second before the horn, but made a mistake. Kelly went onto the final.
Final - Kelly vs Taj
Well, Burrow had Kelly comboed ten minutes into the heat with a 9.0 and 9.63. Kelly clawed back grabbing a 9.7 with fifteen minutes left in the heat, but still needed another good score. He snagged a 9.27 with about a minute left.
Oh, the final was 40 minutes, not 35 like the rest of the heats. In an interview, Kelly said that he asked about extending the final to 40 minutes due to some of the lulls. Well, Kelly needed that extra five minutes to get that extra excellent score.
great week. got to catch most days. Tuesday went off. Slater's last wave didnt seem to be a 9, but he pulled it out at the end. Taj had a few in the final minutes that he passed on thinking that Slater wasnt going to get it. Props to Slater and all the guys for giving everyone a great show

Insanity.

Surfed there this morning and it was super fun. Talk in the water was that Slater's last wave was probably over-scored but that he'd been underscored on his other wave, so two wrongs make a right. Insane contest, though.

I never really understand the scoring. Maybe Slater was over-scored on the 9.27 But he only needed a 8.7 so......
It seems like that every time Slater wins some Aussie is complaining
I thought he did enough to beat Taj (who was RIPPING too)
The Final was the best heat of surfing I've ever watched
If you have Surfline go watch the 10 best waves. The state of professional performance surfing is going places I would have never thought possible 10 years ago
So if Kelly wins in France he's pretty much got the title clinched, right? He could sit it out and even if Taj won, Kelly'd still be in the lead. Someone do some math for me and figure out what the minimum he'd need to do to win.
