Hands down the best surfing podcast that exists today. Best of luck with your surgery BL. WSL is a blander place without yourself and Martin Potter's contributions.
Great insights BL. Love the perspective on how the swell period and direction are make and break for the broadcast and the surfers. Upon reflection BL is actually way too wise to be in the WSL game.
Just too honest probably. WSL seems to want everything sugarcoated with zero critical analysis. Look at how they covered the first women's event at pipe. The conditions were solid and the girl's rounds saw many waves go unridden. Instead of using that opportunity to emphasis to the viewing public just how frightening that wave is, they just didn't mention anything. Not one thing. Now I'm not saying the girls shouldn't be competing at pipe, of course they should, but for me it's just another example of the sappy yap you get from the current crop of corporate presenters. @@guyfitter3006
Great show guys! I agree with Barton, hard to beat the speed and intensity of Felipe's surfing and Caroline's backhand turns will bring a point of difference, which will catch the eye and score well 👌
Love you BL !! I am curious about your feeling on Trestles as the place to hold a 1 day Championship event. Personally I think it stinks. It is not a critical wave, it rarely lends itself to vertical / radical turns, and it doesn't have barrels. Yes it is good for airs, but to me, airs are a minor part of critical, great surfing. I'm not sure what the perfect wave would be for a 1 day Championship would be but pumping Honolua comes to mind, but there HAS to be a better place than Trestles. I think the WSL has diminished the attractiveness of the Championship tour in the last few years by missing swells in awesome locations and in other ways. Yes, I am old school (I'm 64 and surfed HARD for 40+ until cancer f'd me up), but I loved the CT the first few years under the WSL - but the last few years have been truly underwhelming - missing good swells, etc. What say you ?
Speedy recovery 💪🏻 Lāhainā stay strong 🙏🏻 Another Brilliant instalment 👍🏻 WSL would benefit having ‘stoked Bloke’ as a precursor to every event on their media channel 🤔
Great show BL, I’m pretty sure that one time I surfed the south coast both you and Dooma were out with us and only a couple of others so I got to see the difference in your surfing. Your descriptions are on the money.
F**king briliant! BL's prime years were my grom years. Really cool hearing his memories, impressions in this freestyle format. PK, equally astute observer but in facilitator role is perfect. Would be insane to see griff win it at home. Big hometown crowd raging, 2 percenter tears of joy, cole and crosby chairing griff up those cobblestones!
Barton, just had the same surgery you scheduled for. I had a pinched nerve from a blown out disk. Terrible pain on my left side. The surgery is definitely necessary. It will get better, as long as you take your PT seriously when you docs say it’s ok to start. Good luck. ✌🏼🤙🏽
I learned surfing with a tribe that will paddle to you and we both deal with the shark, croc or whatever, some way we lost the real values of ridding waves, the big marketing machine will never take the essence of our tribe, shakas from Florida and Pura Vida 🇨🇷🤙🏼 , you are absolutely amazing as usual.
Marxys journey to the very top is arriving at its destination. Not been smooth but is silk right now. And Robbo and his zen have timed the charge to the moment. Yellow jacket on then off and then Teahupoo, . He's armed and ready. The 2 percent crew will be 100 percent disappointed.
Hi BL yeah Robbo seemed out of sorts from the get go, discombobulated even. Lots of niggle from Chianco as in previous encounter. He really wanted to get Robbo off his game and it worked. Ewing cleaned him up nicely though. And then took care of Griff whose air game crashed and burned. Felipe was really on though and is unbeatable at that place at this moment. Marxys day at the beach was a dream and the future looks bright with her, Simmo and Molly leading the charge. With Erin and others ready to put their best feet forward.
Been out of the water for a year with a similar condition. Need lumbar fusion. Watch out for the pain pills and tell the anesthesiologist no morphine! For the finals we should have a good huricane swell on Sunday so let's hope they won't run on Friday at 3 - 4 ft. Hang in their Barton and get stuffed!
Best of luck with the surgery Barton! As for the picks imho Caity is gonna steam roll as long as she has waves. Filipe is probably a lock like you said but I'm still rooting for Griff nonetheless.
PS. Let's fight harder and in a much more unified way this time should it/when it, becomes necessary, shall we? No more complying with wannabe tyrants people. 🙏🙌💪
PS, glad we all agree that winning titles in this format is bullshit and diminishes its worth. I never knew Steph said that on finals day. The woke surf league censored that?! At least Steph knows she didn’t earn a title for the year. I disagree with you about Marks. It always bums me out that Occy’s backhand and copying it is the standard. It was the standard once upon a time, but there’s so many better, more stylish backhands now! I personally never got off on Occy’s style ever. Didn’t do it for me at all, still doesn’t. Tom smoked him in that Golden Masters heat in Oz and they still gave Occy the win for his one backside hack. They push Marks through for the same boring umpalumpa hacks. It’s BS!

Good luck with the surgery mate best wishes and prayers from desert sth oz

Nice to hear your old surfing stories BL. I was at Manly that day and was great to see you clinch your own at Pipe the following year
Stoked you enjoyed it, great times to live.
Speedy recovery 💪🏻
Lāhainā stay strong 🙏🏻
Another Brilliant instalment 👍🏻

Would be insane and thanks for the support. WSL will give nothing and take me nowhere it seems ha.
@@barton_lynch Mate they are very strange over at WSL. Erik logan's dismissal didnt change a thing.
@@WjB_96792 nope it didnt change a thing, thanks for tuning in.
Thankyou 🙏🏼

Great words thanks for sharing your stoke.
Caitlin Simmers #1 on Borst shapes! Ohhhhhh
She is incredible
Good luck mate heal well and keep it honest good man BL
Thank yeeew
My man Barton looking like Gandalf, 🧙♂️ loving the beard bruh…
The thing just wont stop growing ha
Does James Taylor know his song was your inspiration?
I doubt it, thanks.
Marxys journey to the very top is arriving at its destination. Not been smooth but is silk right now. And Robbo and his zen have timed the charge to the moment. Yellow jacket on then off and then Teahupoo, . He's armed and ready. The 2 percent crew will be 100 percent disappointed.
And as we reflect you were right about the 2%, Marks but Robbo fell short unfortunately, thanks for sharing.
Hi BL yeah Robbo seemed out of sorts from the get go, discombobulated even.
Lots of niggle from Chianco as in previous encounter. He really wanted to get Robbo off his game and it worked. Ewing cleaned him up nicely though. And then took care of Griff whose air game crashed and burned.
Felipe was really on though and is unbeatable at that place at this moment.

@@glenking877 Thanks for sharing your feelings with us Glen.

Sorry to hear that what a bummer but hoping you turn the corner to better health asap, and they get some waves for the show.

I agree no more compliance thank you@@lamar_actual
She could do that for sure.
@@barton_lynch 🙌🙌💪💪
Carolyn for the win! Nicely predicted BL. The format was lame tho... esp the final heats with their crappy inconsistent waves...
Yes stoked to call it right but agree that wave is nowhere near good enough for the final event of the year, boring.
PS, glad we all agree that winning titles in this format is bullshit and diminishes its worth. I never knew Steph said that on finals day. The woke surf league censored that?! At least Steph knows she didn’t earn a title for the year.
I disagree with you about Marks. It always bums me out that Occy’s backhand and copying it is the standard.

Classic thanks for your honesty and contributing to the convo.
