Classic they even gave him a bit of a rap.

Simon's out there surfing too-and Shane Horan, and Glen W and Occy and Potz and Michael Ho (RIPPING!)-great to see the ol' fellas surfing.

It seemed from the commentary that Nick Carroll isn't much of a fan of SUP.

The only fans of SUP are SUP riders. Hahaha.

Nick isn't anti SUP. Watch for him to team up with Brother Tom and do the Molokai this year on a SUP!

After all the time he's spent on a paddleboard I'd be surprised if he swapped.

Have any of you guys found a link to the video of this legends heat? I missed some of it due to.....er?....I am married, have kids, farm animals, etc..... take your pic, they ALL friggen interrupted me when I was trying to watch the damm contest online!....lol........anyway, I searched ASP site and youtube, but could not this heat.

I've got it Bill but I'm just trying to work out if it is legal to put it on YouTube (I recorded it off the TV).

Not much on YouTube is technically legal I wouldn't have thought. Check out all the movie scenes, video clips and so on.

Heats On Demand - long menu list on the left when you scroll down.... But seemingly no footage of the legends.

quiksilver.com/surf/events/pro-france.html

I thought laws were subject to the 'Common Man test'. Ie. Would a normal person feel that by posting something on the Internet that had already been shown on the net and highlights of that footage available on demand now think you were doing anything wrong?

Why would Quiksilver or OneHd take action against someone that is effectively publicizing the event for them for free? They offer re-plays and highlights, it's just a bit that they missed and given that fact I am sure they are not planning on using the footage for any other purpose.

They have not offered it on demand as they feel too few people would be interested in watching it again, not because it is valuable enough to take legal action.

wtf???? seriously..............

True, cos we've all tried it! And we don't care what other think and aren't caught up
trying to be accepted and cool.

Yeah so glad I left that crap behind at 17. I pity the fools who carry that weight into their 20s and 30s.

Coulda' left Occ's wave in .

It went for about 5 minutes as he rode it through to Greeny - I didn't have enough disk space!

I would imagine that there are a few boy pretty happy that he is not going up to Noosa?
