"Surf comps are lame ..." - I've always kinda felt the same. Take something pure and beautiful and turn it into pissing contest where the biggest winners are, as always, the corps. What we need in the world is less competition and more cooperation. What ever happened to the "Expression Session" surf event in the 70s? ...oh yeah, if it don't have a winner, it don't have $$$ so...
@@bradsillasen1972 There are still smaller competitions that operate like the “expression sessions”. I hate the commercialization of surfing as well but the business side started 70 years ago, and competition culture shortly after. It is what it is at this point 🤷
Only surfed it a handful of times. Always a challenging experience. Tricky wave.
Gotta surf it to truly appreciate it

Honestly, had elements of AI...Legend Chandler is gonna be something special
LOVE that wave ❤ such a playful and rippable wall at that size.
Such a fun wave. Got some good footage from this morning as well (bigger waves)
To call them 'pros' is such a wanky term for an activity that's meant to be fun. Surf comps are lame also. Thanks.
I guess you don't consider any athletes "pros" whose livelihood is their sport

@@roblentz81 Good point. I'm not wholly against professional competition, but it's become so hyped, like everything else, that It becomes sickening.
@@bradsillasen1972sounds like you need some cheese with that whine
