Oi Oi Oi…

who cares…i know free surfing soul rats that rip on any of those so called “pros”

Everyone say “Booooo” to Matt…

I might not find Fannings surfing all that great, but none the less, congrats to all you ozzies. I will drink a beer in your honor.

Totally deserved. Reward for effort.

Stoked for Him

Care to provide any names?

Easy now, don’t let this turn into a crap-storm. I think he’s talking about this: surf rats

Man those guys do rip. And such soul, surfing without wetsuits or anything.

Holy phuck, that is the funniest thing i have ever seen. And yes congrats to the white lightning.

I wondered who it would be :smiley:

Yeah, Mick’s worked hard at keeping “Eugene” under control… He’s worked hard for the wins.

I like an all-aussie podium :stuck_out_tongue:

First Aussie crown holder since Occy too… Man, that was a while ago.

i don’t care for the pro surf circuit, nothing personal about where the bloke is from who wins it…

How can you judge dancing on water…???..

ask the Duke, Tom blake, Eddie Aikau, Jeff Hakman, Reno Abellira…Wally froiseth, pete peterson, Snowy McAllister, Rabbit Bartholemew etc etc etc

there’s no question mick f and the pros have talent… and i kinda do like the uk/aus rivalry … but ‘pro surfing’ is a dog/pony show … hype for ‘surf industry’… it goes so against the surfing ideal of being alone in a natural setting.

I’m with matt on this one… well den…don’t really care.
