Great show - thanks 🙏🏽 no mention of john john for El Salvador? I feel like he’s hungry and wants to leave the tour on a high. If the swell delivers I wouldn’t count him out - I’m going griff and john, Cole Crosby kanoa R cal, Connor and Joao. Caity, Caroline, tati, and lakey. Enjoy the event!
JJF is not leaving the tour any time soon. He is hungry for few more Championships. He is by a long shot the best surfer of his generation. Medina extremely close second
Medina is the best surfer in Teahupoo, because of the advantange of goofy in this wave. If he made that wave vs JJF... one of the best waves in history of Teahupoo for sure!
medina had some really good waves but im glad they didn't give a perfect 20. when the waves have that much potential i think they need to leave some room in the scale.
Sure, but they gave JJF a 9.77 against Medina, right after he almost came out of a massive wave. If he were to come out, it would need to be a 13 by that scale
@@Wetsand348 Exactly. it was a great competition but in my opinion they were too generous with the scores. if medina came out of that wave it wouldv'e had to be an 11 compared to the other waves that day.
Great episode again! debating surfival pick between jack, lob, ramzi. Still have jake, crosby, and cole left too. any ideas would be greatly appriciated
Great coverage. Thanks. Who is the guy who has instagram taking good videos? Han? Can you link his page. I wish WSL did more free surf coverage or maybe Surfline.
@@OldSurfDad thanks. Could not find it. 😩 Doesn’t matter they will be in the water competing by the weekend. Hope you’re having a great time! We need a channel like yours in the US. You should get more recognition by WSL. How they wouldn’t be interested in a fan like you and your website, etc., is ridiculous. I don’t like WSL corporate: they make me so angry sometimes and I don’t need that as I’m a soul surfer for over 30 years and watches almost every CT comp since I can remember. They burn to many good people! Honestly, I don’t think I would ever work for them and I’m a degreed professional with demonstrated success who has worked with Fortune 500 companies for over 25 years. ELO 2.0?What Kelly has done for the sport is incredible! One thing I like about the sport is they have some of the best athletes in the world, but they are so low key and humble that they don’t get much attention from the masses, unless you live in Brazil 😂 My wife is Brazilian. ❤️ I do think that will change and is changing but waves will always keep the pros humble. Thanks for all you do for the sport! I haven’t a clue who will win this event: they are all surfing out of their skin. The only thing I’m waiting for is firing Cloudbreak. 🤙🤙 Maybe Griff or Medina and Simmers, but I’m bias toward Simmers and Medina. When the waves are firing they all are my favs and the only standout is the swell. 👍
Hey Glenn I think about this each event and then forget to follow up with my stat friend. Please remind me if you don’t see this update. I am a sucker for the momentum stat which we’ve been working on but to see who ‘tanks’ (like, for example, Italo tanks in El Sal) is interesting and I’m sure revealing.
Yeh. It’s hard to talk about everyone in the draw and I don’t see Seth as a threat unless it’s bigger/thicker waves. That’s probably not fair to him because I watched him get some good ones down the point today and I like his coach.
I’ve been doing live instagram updates and uploaded videos (just loaded one from today half an hour ago), but stuff falls through the cracks because I’m a one man show. But check this out. I will be standing on the beach at dawn Live on RU-vid giving a pre event surf report. Thanks for watching and keeping me honest. Cheers
