The O.G. scoop of froth, Sean Gudang Collins

SEAN I’m tracking this south swell about to hit Tahiti this week.  It looks like sat afternoon will be biggest? Im thinking 10-12ft possible larger tow-in sets. What do yall think?

Yeah, looks like it came down a little but still solid 10-12 foot Hawaiian for Saturday with larger sets. Your getting pretty good!

Watching the wind issue closely though. Right now looks OK with moderate ENE winds on GFS and NOGAPS models. Concerned though because these winds are associated with a trough getting pulled down into this storm so my experience is that the winds might be stronger as the models usually under estimate the winds in this situation in the tropics. And if too strong could swing around out of the valley the wrong way, and up the channel into the wave face.

So the wind issue is the major focus right now and the swell looks good. We’ll keep monitoring the models over the next couple of days. The wind trend today looks a little worse than yesterday so we’ll see.

Sean…

Three wins, two seconds and a fifth in the two wave scoring era, it is like Federer and his Wimbledon Crowns,
His 6 year domination of the two wave scoring era at this location is like no other.
Kelly is currently on a 12 heat winning streak at Trestles,
He hasn’t lost a heat there since the final against Bede in 2006.
In fact he has only lost 3 heats there in 6 years.
Kelly scored a 10.34 in that final in 2006 against Bede, his lowest score ever at Trestles,
Up until the Final he had averaged just under 16.00 for the first 5 heats of the event.
The other final he lost was in 2004,against Joel Parkinson
Kelly has done all this, I mean dominated the last 6 years at this next event at the ages of.. 31 to 36.
It’s not really a young mans profession when the average age of the top 45 is 27+ and the average age of the top 27 is 30+.
Highest Individual Heat Score @ Trestles
2008 Round 4

The other.. Fanning 19.13 in 2003.
Highest Combined Heat Score @ Trestles
2008 Final
37.60 .. Kelly Slater USA 18.97 def Taj Burrow Australia 18.63

2004-2^nd
2005-1^st
2006-2^nd
2007-1^st
2008-1^st
Average of 2.00
Kelly averages 1066 Dream Tour points every time he has surfed Trestles.
2003-2009 The two wave scoring era.
He has surfed 34 competitive heats at Trestles for 31 wins.
91.17% win ratio at Lowers
Only 3 losing heats in 6 years
Kelly has never lost a round 1 heat, 6 starts for 6 wins.
Kelly has a great record everywhere, but Trestles is special for Slater.
Black and White, pre 2003?…
