Watch: Jamie O'Brien loco in Waco
More wave pool guff? Isn't the filter box full yet..?
Apologies in advance for the metaphorical tsunami of pseudo swell. If only these contest creators could gently space their clips and allow me to write something about the ocean, the real one. Tim Bonython is gearing up for a week straight of big Chopes, WA pumped yesterday, Vicco will tomorrow, and the East Coast the day after that. How did that happen during this listless autumn? It's like someone flicked a switch in a control box somewhere and a line of swell rose out of an otherwise calm lake.
So anyway, this clip was filmed in central Texas, 300 kms from the ocean, it features JOB and Cheyne Magnusson riding the American Wave Machine. Which, you may recall, was described by Greg Webber as a mechanism that goes "bum, bum, bum" and pumps out energy via underwater voids.
Check it for yourself...
And while I've got you: this is the MSLP chart for eastern Australia this Saturday. How do you like them onions?

Vicco will pump? Bit touch and go..
Those onions for the east are almost as bad as it could get for surfing. I don't like em at all.
Like fu_king a robot.

It’s interesting, often the most fun surf is the one where it does not look that great and you pick up a couple of random gems or even a great section.
Sometimes the sessions you are really amped for end up a bit disappointing, the tide is wrong, the wind changes or the waves don’t come your way. It is the randomness and where you are that makes surfing amazing.
It’s the busted fin and board on the rocks that make a great story in 5 years.
Not entering the debate on pools, they are here, no point lamenting invention otherwise we get stuck in the “good old days”.
It is your own curiosity that keeps life interesting, nurture that.
I have seen too many people fight the future only to be left in an angry bubble. Take on stuff that is important , fight hard to make a difference; however let it go if you don’t win. Don’t fight meaningless battles. There are real things in life to enjoy and to strive to overcome.
