Lay day fun for surfers in Tahiti waiting for Paris 2024 surfing to resume

 Lay day fun for surfers in Tahiti waiting for Paris 2024 surfing to resume


 A  period of time when the competition is canceled due to subpar surfing conditions. It's a time when individuals undertake errands, such as laundry and trips to the grocery store.

At the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, surfers had two days off following Monday, July 29, when the conditions were fantastic. It is most expected that the women's round three will take place on August 1st, with the men's and women's quarterfinals to follow.

Everyone has had time to reflect on a historic Monday that featured amazing barrel riding, a go viral photo, and powerful Teahupo'o waves that took no prisoners in the men's round three. This is made possible by the competition's back-to-back days off.


Surfers have plenty of free time to do as they like. Ironically, a lot of them have returned to the ocean and are always looking for anything that may be surfed.


The river mouth at the End of the Road has been the hot zone for the last two days. The landmark is well-known since it takes one hour to get from Papeete to Teahupo'o.

After you get there, you can choose to turn around and head back where you came from, go surfing, or go to your lodging. There's nothing else for you to go.

Olympic and world champions Carissa Moore and Caroline Marks, as well as fellow American Caity Simmers, have all been enjoying the action at the river mouth. On Tuesday, Australians Ethan Ewing and Molly Picklum were also in the water. Surfers will find rideable waves anywhere they may be found.

Chelsea went into the break 1-0 down after Jefferson Lerma's wondergoal in the first half, but Gallagher scored just a minute into the second half and then a 91st minute winner to break Palace's resolve. Enzo Fernández added a third in the 94th minute of the match as Chelsea came away from Selhurst Park with three points.   Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.) Gallagher's first saw him finish well off a Malo Gusto cross, while for the second he slotted home neatly from the edge of the box to give Chelsea the win.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, Hamas says

  Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, Hamas says Reuters, July 31, CAIRO - Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, was slain in Iran early on Wednesday, the Palestinian militant group announced, raising concerns about a further escalation in a region already unsettled by Israel's war in Gaza and a deepening crisis in Lebanon. Hours after Haniyeh attended the inauguration of the nation's new president, the Revolutionary Guards of Iran declared that an investigation was underway and confirmed Haniyeh's passing. Israel refrained from commenting right away. The Israeli military did not provide any new security directives for civilians, but it did state that it was performing a situational assessment. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that while Washington would strive to reduce tensions, it would also support Israel's defense should it come under assault. The announcement seems to have hampered the prospects of an impending ceasefire in Gaza, given it was made le...

Inside the Graeter's bakery: How the King Cake is made

Inside the Graeter's bakery: How the King Cake is made  Fat Tuesday marks the last day to indulge in the junk food and sweets before the start of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. A traditional King Cake is a blend of coffee cake and a cinnamon roll with loads of sugar. The King Cake comes from the biblical story of the three kings who brought gifts to Baby Jesus. And a plastic baby is often hidden inside. Tradition says the person who finds the baby has to buy the cake the following year. So you might find yourself popping into Graeter’s to pickup a cake for friends of co-workers today. But the process to make that King Cake takes hours, sometimes days at the Graeter’s bakery. “By the time Tuesday comes around, we will have done about 375 large and 1200 small,” shared Graeter’s Lead Baker Anthony Schwier. Anthony has been with Graeter’s exactly 20 years now, plenty of time to perfect the process. Anthony stated, "We make our Danish dough with 16 ingredients, 500 pounds at a time....
