Seriously people. I’m not biased at all. European. There’s something really weird going on here.

@DanielHatchman 4 месяца назад

I'm an Aussie and agree. They milk every point out of the smoothness of Ethan which could be fair. But then there is nothing for gabby's smoothness. If anything they seem to have docked points from him somewhere especially on the first few waves. They only common dominator is giving buzzer beaters, which is a really bad precedent to falsely give buzzer beaters... this is leading the sport down a really stupid road.

@springfieldbearpatrol2937 4 месяца назад

Seems crazy but I feel like they want a controversy. Why else would they interview him and have the camera follow him down the trail. Usually the focus is interviewing the winner.

@petecabrina 4 месяца назад

Guess the only thing is are Cole's hits bigger than Gabe's, to justify the slight point difference? If you watch Cole's waves a few times he really is hitting the pocket almost flawlessly and throwing buckets, where Gabe's turns often aren't as full, even though his style is seamless. Even if Cole matches Gabe's score here he still wins, not as much in it as everyone seems to think.

Anyways I believe there should be improvements like each judge having access only to his own scores wearing noise cancelling headsets and not knowing at the end of the heat how much overall a surfer needs to win. Or someone thinks that Coles last wave if surfed in the middle of the heat would have been a 7.43.

Screw the WSL. There’s money being passed around for these judges. Nobody can be that blind.

@adrisousatubarao 4 месяца назад

Judges analyze the following elements when scoring waves: Commitment and degree of difficulty Innovative and progressive maneuvers Combination of major maneuvers Variety of maneuvers Speed, power and flow Simple question: in which of those criteria Cole was better than Medina?

@rogan6947 4 месяца назад

Medina did make a mistake, while I agree it wasn't a 7.47 (it only needed to be a 7 which I think it was close to), Medina could see his first turn and should have recognised it was a potential threat.. Why didn't he use priority!? He wasn't even watching..

@Wetsand348 4 месяца назад

It really shouldn't be close to a 7, if you just compare to Medina's 7.10 this should be clear. Unbelievable judging

@Pedroc280 4 месяца назад

Looking at the criteria, the difference should be a lot bigger at that point. Gabe won this heat with at least 2 points

O erro do Medina não isenta os Juízes dessa nota completamente exagerada, deveriam ser isentos.

Aussie here. Here’s the thing, a huge air is always impressive but most are just your run of the mill which, in my eyes, are not the same as a big solid hack! His air didn’t land clean either. That being said, I thought Medina won the heat because there were no solid hacks in that heat either. Medina sounded so dejected. I recon he should follow the lead of Nath Florence and go fund me surf with sponsorship. I’m sure many guys on tour are thinking long those lines. ESPECIALLY, with the new disastrous finals format.

@pablodagamamoreira619 4 месяца назад

Quantos fazem rotações completas? Medina faz aéreos, volta com manobras potentes e de linha. Curvas qualquer surfista faz, mas quantos conseguem dar aéreos??? Todo esporte evolui, assim como skate, bikecross, snowboard, etc....mas o surfe tem que regredir??? Não entendes exatamente nada de surfe!

Y’all must not have watched the same heat. Coles last wave hit the top of the point better than the other waves. He was able to string together 2 solid turns straight away. Gabby’s 7 had 2 floaters in it 😂 and his air was on a waist high wave

A primeira rasgada do australiano foi boa sim. A segunda tbm foi considerável. Mas foi somente isso, e a onda era uma pequena fora da série. A nota 7.45 não existe. Totalmente super valorizada. Porém, o australiano precisava de um 6.98! Eu acho que foi perto disso daí sim! O australiano tirar um 7.00, não seria nada muito absurdo não. Foi perto. O problema foi terem dado 7.45! Ficou muito escancarado. Não seria roubo... mas por essa nota underscore ... ficou com cara de roubo sim.

Antes eles disfarçavam. Agora perderam a vergonha. É lógico que isso tem alguma máfia entre esses juízes para ceifar alguns atletas. Aonde que um aéreo completo vale menos que manobras repetidas numa onda pequena? Eu vim aqui apenas pela repercussão que isso teve na mídia, pra saber o que houve, mas já imaginava. Eu não acompanho mais essa liga desde as mudanças que fizeram em colocar 5 finalistas pra decidir em Trestles. Como isso não serviu pra entender a interesses escusos, agora recorreram a essa patifaria. 🤡

Pro surfing does not embody surfing. It is a very small part of the experience. Pro surfing, whether NSAA, PSAA, ASP, or WSL doesn't kill surfing at all...never has and never will. The best surfers don't compete anyway.
