Mick's the form surfer.
Him and Kelly there for commentary?

Almost looks more rippable with that slight onshore on it

Just watched the first 10 minutes.

Based on that Mick Fanning should be 2023 World Champ.

Most of those waves were intertwined with Ethan’s waves in this vid.
Mick had him for variety and flow, Ethan had him for criticality, bigger turns, bigger water displacement.
The judges would give it to Ethan imo and I would too.

I thought Ewing looked really weird, like his upper body rotation wasn't connected properly to his lower body and thus drive through turns.
Might have been nursing turns, who knows.

Definitely not the Ewing we've seen previously this season.

I was very underwhelmed.

100percent FR. He looked a little sluggish the year or so after he retired, but he's surfing better than he ever has now.
Easily the world champ.
Still one of the greatest turns in surfing history is the MF bottom turn. That thing is wild.

What happened to the retired Mick F twin-fin thing... a FCS fashion fad?

What do you mean?
There's an MF twin model available on the fcs website and an MF twin fin board model at DHD.

thanks for posting the video, it was great to see these guys rip.

Found a live sound track for crowded, frenetic & harmonic surf sessions... even includes seagulls singing...

I would be very relieved if I was in the top five than Mick doesn't get a wildcard. That could be an embarrassing outcome. Ethan is looking fighting fit.

Final predictions:

Griff vs Flippy
Caity vs Carissole

Easy predictions this year.
Grif for the mens.
Caroline Marks for the womens.
The woz ain't gonna miss the opportunity to have an all American world champion celebration on home turf...
But that aside, i can't see anyone beating either of those two in those solid conditions. It would be well deserved.
Fark hope the Aussies fire up though.

I'm on that team with you FR. Joao doesn't look like he's on the same page as the rest of the five in these waves. Would be a different story at Pipe of course, then I'd say Jack/Joao final...Same final pick for the women's though

No love for Joao from the bookies @ 21.00 to win the final.
First round sportsbet has Jack @ 1.60 Vs Joao @ 2.28.

Other finals totes so far.
Fil .......@ 1.59
Griff .. @ 4.00
EE .......@ 8.00
Jack ....@ 12.00
Joao ...@ 21.00

I've got a blue swimmer riding on Jack, ........yeah I know , the last of the big spenders :)
Gamble responsibly.
