WITH TAHITI AND PIPE, CAN FILIPE WIN A TITLE?

WHY HASN’T GABRIEL WON MORE THAN 1 TITLE?
His surfing is so fundamentally sound and, in fact, better than nearly all his competitors, and yet Gabriel has a hard time superseding our expectations for him. Is it strictly a psychological block that the viewer has, based on his highlight reels of yesteryear?
THE FACEBOOK ROLL-OUT
The WSL x Facebook hits multiple roadblocks with it’s roll out at JBay.
The stream gets interrupted, viewers are required to login through Facebook to view, and the Heat Analyzer is inactive.
MUST-SEE MOMENT
David’s Pick: Torren Martyn’s leanback barrel, as shot by Nick Rapley for NeedEssentials.com
Scott’s Pick: Fifa World Cup
DUKE
Joel Parkinson. Congrats on your retirement. 18 years on tour. 12 event wins, four runner-up places, three Triple Crowns, two perfect heats, one World Title. In 1999, at age 18, he won JBay as a wildcard and it was his first visit there.
KOOK
Scott for his mispronunciation of Namibia, mainly based on listeners revolting . . .
And from our favorite listener/emailer, Rainbow . . .
