Dave Rastovich doesn't speak on Tuesdays. On Saturdays I'm often hungover or drunk or incapable of original thought. So let's focus on images instead of words.
Shooter Jason Reposar generously sent in these images of Nusa Tengarra for PostSurf use.
Check the sequence of Rob Machado: a top-shelf moment from a broken utopia.
Rob seems to be going the Michael Jackson route as he ages - turning into an exaggerated caricature of himself. The afro gets bigger and the lines get cleaner as Rob distills the escence of his personal brand into a 151-proof spirit.










I’m first, fuck you
RDW you are a fag. Sick pics LS.
I think I know why the posting is so slow today. You’ve all been lulled to sleep by the thrilling early first round Chopes match ups haven’t you. Another stellar start for the new format….gotta get back to the Drew Courtney vs. Marlon Lipke heat. Woo hoo!!
Oh shit. Dane might get aranbrued. JT’s interviews such so much ass. He is such a douche.
NOOOOOO!!!! This new format sucks aranbru’s ass. Oh well, at least Lipke’s in.
the new format fucking sucks one of the only surfers on tour worth watching gets…. another dirty turd.
Great sequence of Rob, image 7 in the group is great.
Teahupoo at 3 ft is not that interesting. They should hold the heats when its 6 ft+.
and now i have to listen try to snips justify it. shut up mike. put occy back on. and somebody please murder the guy interviewing.
I actually like Snip’s commentary. He may not be the funniest guy but his insight and experience as both a competitor as well as a contest director is matched by only a few ( Rabbit, Luke, Rarick etc. ). Plus he has, as they say in Bama, balls the size of COCOnuts.
The fact that they charged ahead with the event today does not bode well for the updated forecast.
P.S. Go Andy!
Is GT AK?
Occy is trying hard, but UUUUUMMMMM, UUUUUUUUMMMMM, AWWWWWWWWWW, UMMMMMMMM. Master of the obvious. PT’esque hyperbole.
Dane will be at Silver Strand Monday morning.
YOu don’t have Kekoa on our team, do you Mark?
Hope not.
Wonder if they’ll make GT’s interview with Heirrari available for sale?
I took the local trials winner Mike! Kekoa had never surfed Chopes before and Williams has surfed there his entire life. Feelin it!
Nice, he’s got that place dialed! Good job bro. He’s gonna be the Adam Robertson of this contest, though he has to get through Joel…..
When it comes to commentary, Occy is an ocker.
And GT IS a douche!
and that what we like about him.
new format suckssssssss. again, dane goes out. one a few guys worth watching and at 3/4ft chopes. I thought the new format was introduced so that they could wait and get the best waves..
photos are rad.
Someone please kill GT.
Rob kind of annoys me, maybe because he lives down the street from me and I’m jealous of his view of the constant comedy with SUPers at the reef, and Scott Bass. Undeniably smoother than Porko, it’s like his body is comprised of a single rubber band. He just needs a haircut.
nuthugg,
next time you see him, ask Rob how much he’s digging Royksopp.
lets just seed dane straight into the semis
Can JT not call every surfer “My Brutha. . . ” People who say shit like that to excess need to be punched in the face.
I hate radical faux soul surfer types.
Does anyone else notice how many times all the commentators say “absolutely”? must have been in the hundreds. Now that I said something, it can drive everyone else nuts too. Ha ha.
gt is like a gayer michael jacksoned sal masakela
Enjoyed the hell out of that Reposar piece in the Surfer’s Journal a few issues back.
Wardo was ripping the shit out of it the other day. That highline drive he had going on was sick and that huge cutty was raw. The new format fucked him for sho. He was locked in and didn’t even care about that interference and looked like he was having a blast with one other guy out. He could of went all the way no prob.
Good infomation here, thanks.
I searched many websites and here i found what i was looking for, thanks for valuable post
