Sure, it’s early in the season and there are 7 more events to go. However, there are so many great things on this list. Slatz in 1st, Mick Fanning in 3rd!!(which is totally amazing), AI now has his work cut out for him, Wardo on the 'CT!, and all these new faces!

3

…and Cory Lopez on 6th! There should be some totally amazing events this season!

Anyone know which (if any) sports channels cover the 'CT?

4

FUEL TV is covering all the WCT events…

5

I’ve been watching through the internet the WCT and WQS events. Good images, interviews and specialized comments are available in the menu. In addition you have all the results and the live scores, too.

6

Is fuel tv one of the ESPN shows?

I guess I’ll have to google it.

7

No, not ESPN, but it is it’s own “Surf, skate, MotoX, etc…” channel. Here in San Diego it comes with certain digital cable packages or you can purchase it seperatley for a minimal monthly charge.

8

fuel is on channel #612 on Direct TV…very cool programing…lots of surfing on everyday

9

I pity you and your HORRIBLE PATHETIC SOUL. You might as well unscrew the k-fins off your sashimi and take off your “k-trac” traction pad!

Slater has been #1 for the past 2-3 months, Josh. Get with the program.

It’s John by the way, the kid who you sold the 3-inch-thick blank to and has been spending his time trying to shave it down to 2 3/8".

Seriously though,

you can watch all the events live online by going to aspworldtour.com. I believe the next event is at J-bay on July 12th. The waves are supposed to be MACKING and perfect (we’re talkin like DOH-TOH here).

Unfortunately, at 9 AM African time, it’s like 3 or 4 AM Eastern Standard Time. So get up early if you really want to watch it. I’m gonna get up at like 6 AM, like I said it’s gonna be EPIC even by J-bay standards.

10

My sashimi is retired. I put it in the used board rack the other day. But I kept my K-fins.

Some day I’m going to follow the ASP world tour from beginning to end.

11

Yeah, this is actually my first year that I’ve actually followed the 'CT. It’s really exciting to watch on the live webcasts.

I think if slater wins this year (i’d assume he would retire if he were smart) I won’t watch it again, though.

12

I just got FuelTV a couple days ago. Its really good tv for when you have a little time to kill.

13

Dammit, my local cable company (Cablevision) doesn’t carry Fuel TV. I’ll have to either break down and get DirectTV or go to my in-laws to watch FuelTV.

14

Like I said, you can watch the events live online.

Since a lot of the events are in really remote areas of the world, the time zones can be a little weird though.

15

I did it during the Rip Curl Search in Reunion Islands (I’m in Brazil, 7 hours fuse). It started at 1:00am and finished around 9:00. Fortunatelly, it’s low season here and there’s no boards in charge.

16

Hey Josh,

I have Cablevision and I found a Fuel show on noon Saturday. It’s up around 73. They update the ASP WCT and other related sports. It’s a week or so behind the live events. But you don’t have to sit by your machine for hours on end. Which ain’t bad when it’s huge Pipe Master, but when it’s small I prefer a 10 minute highlight. Anyway, I can never remember to watch. Saturdays are busy. When I do catch it, if I’m sitting down for lunch, and flick on the tv, it’s always the LAST WAVE BEFORE COMMERCIAL. Up next: Wakeboarding. dammit

BTW (disclaimer) there are as you know a lot of Cablervisions they program different and they are all overpriced crap.

17

ASP???

Is that some sort of pro badminton league or something?

Drew

18

Yes. And the Asian players are 100% Mega-Aggro.

The 6-time World Badminton Champ is going for a record 7th title.

19

Association of Silly Putty
