Volcom Pro Fiji

[Sluff]

ASP stops in Fiji June 3-15. Solid surf early in the holding period and a nuking swell forecast for June 8-10. Watch it live here http://www.volcomfijipro.com/

Draw announced. Bummer that Bruce Irons didn't get a wild card. Looks like Volcom gave it to their goofy-footer (Mitch Coleborn) instead:

HIGHLIGHTS

[BS720]

I laughed my ass off when John John went over the falls. I pull back at the last minute way too often, and get punished hard.

[BraddA]

The tower-view of Gabriel Medina's 10 was ridiculous.

[BraddA]

Be it large Cloudbreak or perfect Restaurants, one thing is clear: I'm not getting shit done this afternoon.

[BraddA]

Tanks brah

[BraddA]

Quite a tease, eh?

[Atrain505]

That last set was all time. Start the damn thing!

[BraddA]

Question: How do you score these waves?

[Atrain505]

Wow. Large. Those first two waves by Bede and Melling were straight balls. Melling on a short board it looks like. Today is going to be crazy!

No idea how you score this.

[Hugh Conway]

fuck yeah. nice they didn't pussy out.

edit: and it's nice to see blasphemy and co fucking with the twitter feed:
FrankiePells RT @Rottmouth: Kala and Sunny stood toe to toe. Eyes locked. No smiles. Intensity in the air. As their nude cocks formed a perfect pretzel #VolcomFijiPro

[BraddA]

^^^ Classic.
Stoked for John John.

[Hugh Conway]

On hold = weak sauce.

[Sluff]

The free surf session is firing.

[Hugh Conway]

Free Surf is firing. ASP screwed the pooch.... again.

Rottmouth: Calling it off? For the wind? For little guys? What, is Westerly in charge again?

[Hugh Conway]

Tennis players have bigger balls
