Most of the quarters and semis were SO boring , like watching Pro Surfing from the 1980s in LESS then stellar conditions once again . However the Finals was quite entertaining , with the best conditions of the event and such an even match up with Ferreira versus Medina , both so VERY methodical , technical and calculated in their approach , and so many back to back to back waves ridden ! ( If you missed the final watch the replay ! )

Yes Joe, Brazil dominating the event with Toledo another semi finalist. Caroline to the semis and Carissa just got her with her bigger waves skills

Made me smile to see Carissa's humble reaction to her pulling her air. Stoked for her.
Also seeing Defay clapping for her in the inside. True sportsmanship! ------------------------- Time and tide wait for no one..... |

Medina and Marks for the win ! Mendina's aerial attack in the finals was absolutely unstoppable ! Three perfectly completed airs . He ate Conner for lunch !

I've had the luxury of watching this on FS2 through Hulu at night while my son sleeps! I just can't get into Medina's style or lack there of. Yes he completes airs, but he looks like a stink bug doing them. His frontside is a bit better, but still ugly in my opinion. Congrats to Caroline

I still can't decide on the one trick thing. Is doing five air reverses till you land one worth an 8.5? Or should they drop a point after each failed attempt?
I enjoyed the women's heats more than the men's. Just sayin. ------------------------- I was right. |

Pro surfing is at an interesting point right now. The airs are acrobatic, innovative, and technically superior, but I'm starting to get a little tired of them for some reason. Especially now that we have wave pools where you know many of the competitors are learning these rotations. I don't want to sound like what they are doing isn't spectacular, but I'm concerned about where competition/scoring is going. Margs will showcase a lot, and if it's on in classic conditions JJF will be next level.

^^^^ Italo's 1.5 or whatever score on the air he got "robbed" on is proof of the above statements.

Man- how about Caroline Marks- well done young lady making Central Florida proud as hell!!! I smell a title coming in 2021l!!
As for the aerial stuff I can't agree more- it's almost a tricks competition with everything geared up for speed to launch that one helicopter spinner- make no bones about it Toledo was just amazing when it came to that- I mean it was crazy!! But do all the points go to that one big air maneuver ? I saw plenty of chances for full body dips or style sections that just got passed up to create speed for the all important ramp launch. This was a smaller wave event- but sets were solid and some big carves and lips happened but they were clearly not the go to strategy.
In bigger waves this type of thing goes away- but for smaller 6-8 and under surf- I think these aerials are here to stay -especially to give the crowd d a big WOW moment for those that don't really surf or understand it- I think Kechele woulda kicked ass in this format if this is the way it's gonna be- tricks are for winners right!!!

Smack the lip five times, get pitted, then bust your air as a finishing move and everyone is happy.

The size and quality of the wave used to factor in the whole scenario, now it's just huck a big one on the closeout and do your best to say on the board. Medina won by riding a section of reef that most people would skip on.

Felipe is surfing with more power and he is really unpredictable which I enjoy. I'm really happy Caroline won as well, she is ripping. I didn't see the 1.5 wave for Italo, but some of the scoring was too rewarding for airs, for example Morgan's barrel was really critical also was Tati's idk I just like traditional surfing I guess. It was addicting to watch though.

Fat, weird, windy, cold and then it dumps you pile-driver style onto a rock shelf. They earn their money when they ride that place.

Agree totally Cole! One of the 'most contestable' sites though being so imperfect with the above challenges imho-- I like to see how hard conditions like that surfed really well look! Being a regularfoot, I could dig spectate'n the main break nonsense, and gett'in 'sum' a me own dazzler's up at Box, and almost better yet- North Point eh?! yeEw!
