Kelly’s big carves and snaps are almost always underscored, he is still ripping. With the shit waves they’ve had at most of the events causing him to struggle and falling to a low seed has put him in a really tough place. He draws Gabriel in the ER in chest high onshore surf for example. If there was a season with good surf at most of the events I wouldn’t be surprised if he was in the top 5.

@gordonquigg9389 11 ай бұрын

This is some of the best surfing of Kelly's career. He was so close on this heat. But his board sucked. He was like a cat on too much catnip. Incredibly radical maneuvers, but no flow, no smooth style, and flailing arms linking his moves, which is exactly what Gabriel was doing right. Elegance linking extremely powerful manuevers. Gabriel's board made it easy for him. It is painful to have to watch Kelly try to Mann handle his boards. This guy Dan Mann has been copying everyone's boards now for 25 years and he still can't get it right. Salazar is right, Punta Roca will reveal your board's flaws and shortcomings very clearly and quickly like night and day....

Sorry, Medina was not surfing with style and looked very awkward, while Kelly surfed with much nicer style and variety. Too much emphasis on size of wave for Medina, while it might have been 30% bigger that only equates to about 10 inches bigger, in these conditions, not deserving of too much 'wow' factor.

Medina won because he caught the better looking waves, not because he was the better surfer. Medina didn't do a single creative thing or take an interesting line on any wave. He had a few bigger turns but didn't link them up and other than smooth backside pumping, didn't really have any great flow. Slater was just as fast but more creative with way better flow and linked much more turns together.

The wsl has become racist trash. The judging has been fake for years. The announcers are pawns (sans strider). All because you’re afraid of the Brazilian superstars you should embrace. So many epic heats ruined by fake scores. Def a bummer for all fans. Needs a fresh overhaul. I’m guessing from the top, but the judging needs to be siloed, no more discussion between them. Pure and simple.
