Yeah I think I read it on swellnet. TRipley crown may be a bit fairer if the crew who are involved with the first two comps get a crack at pipe. Either way if it's on the television I'll be watching
The Vans format is a blatant rip off from the Da Hui backdoor shootout And from all reports there was no conversation with the Rothman family who came up with the format Apparently no JJF/Slater or Medina in the comp But Craig Anderson got an invite - Bring on the Hypto Krypto at pipe. $100k for the winner
Some good waves for it, interesting format. The ladies even got some deepish barrels, Carissa Moore got a ripper." revolutionising wimins surfing rave rave overkill" but it was good
