The look on JJs face when his first score came in was a mix of shock and pure disgust. Fully justified!! I think his wave was better than Colapinto. His technique and style inside the barrel is better than anyone plus the power of the turns.
'Jordy has surfed 5 perfect mechanical waves in one day'........poor guy....he must be wrecked.......imagine 5 perfect mechanical waves spread out over one day...with zero paddling and ski assisted......poor thing....how does he find the energy.
Does anyone think for his style Colapinto gets way overscored? I see tap hits on the lip, no real gouges, the turns aren't really powerful looking and don't redirect. Then I see John John and with his powerful turns I think it was waaaaay underscored. I don't understand the judging with Colapinto. When I see him celebrating I'm not buying the same sensation.
When you match the conditions, you prove that you are not the best and most complete surfer in the world. Unfortunately it only surfs well from the frontside.
