28 competitors, but I wonder how many in the world are qualified to paddle in, and successfully drop into waves that size?
250?

that wave that I believe it was Mark Healey just barely pulled out and then the camera pans down. It had to be over 70 feet. Hairball...

HOLEE PHUK! Couto almost got speared by his board!* That monster had to be 40'+!
And how bout that wave in Round 3 that closed out all the skis so they had
to run up on the beach? Those phukkers are NUTZ!
*The replay showed it missed his head by maybe a foot?

I dunno how big it was (60 seems quite possible) I was yelling at the screen as soon as he took off on it.. it was awesome from the start.

It's pretty much over.. Rothman only person with any chance.. but needs 2 huge rides in less than 10 minutes.. Looks like a local boy will win.. new generation.. Grats for Florence.
No major injuries..success..hope everyone enjoyed it.
