Anyone watching ripcurl SF?

[surf doc]

Looks tough out there. Peaks all over the place, brutal paddle out.
Wait a minute, sounds like my home break.

lol, I've not been watching. The waves looked pretty good from the photo I was sent on a press release:

Do you have a jetski to pull you out back at your home break if needed?

[surf patrol]

I'm watching it now.

No jet ski just the occasional rip

[noahhh]

they said no jet ski because it's forbidden there to protect the environment, do i remember correctly?

also, why do they say "somewhere in sf"? is the place a secret? or do they just move around every other day?

[surf patrol]

I wondered why they weren't using it, makes sense.
Normally it's at a secret location, they never release the location before the comp. While I was watching, one of the commentators said it was at Ocean Beach about 5 times.

[surf doc]

There was even a link to a video about the locals and their experiences surfing ocean beach throughout the years. Not very secret at all.

Might be the final today, I've just put it on to have a little look. The waves look a little crappy today.

I'm calling it ... Medina for the win.

[surf patrol]

Good call

[noahhh]

i've already seen him win at the Lacanau Pro in france this year (i was there, yay ), that guy is incredible!
taking down slates just in time to make sure he's world champ but won't win the event

Only 17 - he's got a big career ahead of him.
