    ... Been surfing main
    break since i was a kid ... Im 53 this year... The left is the main wave ... Scoring potential on the right is purely a wsl influence concept as you wont be catching two scoring rides per heat at the main break right without jet ski
    assistance if its over 6 foot... If you do it would be rare .
    The right can be a lot of fun when its 4-6 foot but its a nightmare above that size.

      Thanks for adding this. I mostly surfed the left when I was there. "Scoring potential on the right is purely a wsl influence concept" Truth. Pros make it look too easy.

I'd love to see the focus shift back to the left a bit one day ... On the." best days " it's got plenty of scoring potential on the left 🙏

    Kelly Won't be Retiring @ Margs. Outerknown is Sponsoring the next event @ Teahupo'o, He will most definitely be wildcarded in for the rest of the season Especially Since Cloudbreak is on the schedule as well. Mabey the Judges will just Cole Houshmand him to the top?

      @OldSurfDad  5 месяцев назад

      My contact there stopped returning my email. I think they are heavily understaffed and trying to do to much with events that things don't get updated in a timely manner. Wish it wasn't that way.

      I think Rio will remain on the schedule due to the huge fan base there. Oddly, Saquarema had better waves than some other spots last year, but I know there are better waves in South America they should consider.

    I have a comp with friends, like Surfival, but it's Surfival of the Kooks. Idea is same as Surfival, but to get as few points as possible with each round made being a point. Creates interest in the people who you don't know whether they're goofy or regular. I picked a team for Bells based on this approach. Seems to have horrifically backfired! The unluckiness of Bells I guess.
    Anyway, said it before, but you're still consistently producing the best content out there, despite the wsl.
    And last thing, did I meet you in G-land years ago, during sickshots days, you gave me a dvd of my pretty solid barrel on the ledge? Switch on a red longboard if that narrows it down.

    • @OldSurfDad
      @OldSurfDad  5 месяцев назад +1

    I dont think you've factored in 1 throwaway for each surfer. I'm pretty sure they throw away one event out of the five for the mid season cut, right?
    In which case those below the cut line dont need as many points to catch up.
    A top 8 finish (4745 points) should be more than enough for anyone down to Caio Ibelli (29th).

    • @dyljwf
      @dyljwf 5 месяцев назад +1

      Ah! I missed the throwaway part in doing the totals 😅 Updated the spreadsheet now.
      It’s very close but I’m leaning towards QF not being enough with 10725 pts (if all the stars align). Will confirm that before the event :)

    • @dbarbz4903
      @dbarbz4903 5 месяцев назад

      @@dyljwf you'd be surprised! Funnily enough there isn't a whole lot of jumping around near the cut off line in the last round (historically, including CS).
      I'll bet you $20 imaginary dollars that 10,725 points will be the cut off point and at worst it'll come down to a countback for the 3 surfers on that level. At least 2 of the 3 surfers that end up on 10,725 will get through.

      @pedrorobalinho5883 5 месяцев назад

      Sure my friend! I’m saying that only the top 4 result of each athletes will count to define the top22 so in this case we have to throw away the 5th best result. Also in order to break some ties, the first criteria will be number of heat wins in the opening rounds of the events and if the tie persists, we go to heat average. Got it?

      Watch the side by side video put up. Wave ended up the same size as Gabes. Only difference was one man was 6' 3" and 220 lbs and Gabe 5' 10." If that wave Cole had was 2' Gabes was exactly the same. Watch the side by side.
