It's all so very confusing.

So if Mick makes the finals and Gabe gets knocked out before the quarters will Mick be the world champ? And does Kelly need and outright win to have any chance regardless?

It doesn't really matter that Derek Ho's title was in 93...
How 'bout little Tommy Carroll dominating Pipe for a decade ?
Forget the details, it's fun, fun, fun...

That Sean Briley pit was nuts. I am surprise he could even paddle into it with a gut like that let alone make it. I wonder what he was like when he was fit?

I watched Briley surf big Scar Reef in Indo. I didn't know you could do what he did. It was eye-opening. He called me into one and I thought, "he'd know". I put my head down and paddled like a demon

...

And got pitched into oblivion. Absolute destruction. A bloody miracle I wasn't killed haha.
