After three years of poor swells and winds, the Southern Ocean is back in black.

Truth bombs from the bossman.

Brazilian storm in a teacup, or grounds for complaint?

While we were bickering about the nocean...

Some old time spleen venting from the two-time champ.

Mechanical waves, wayward judging.

Watch each wave side-by-side.

Griff Colapinto and Carissa Moore win as new optics can't hide the tub's old flaws.
