Gabriel Medina, what a treasure. He's the Bruce Lee of pro surfing.

I thought they were fun this time around. The guys seem to have been putting a bit of thought into them. A bit of claim choreography going on behind the scenes there.

Yes, he sent very clear and commanding messages. He's a story teller and a poet, a dramatist and an artist, a magician and a master of his craft, and no ordinary athlete. A treasure, I tell you Beanpole!

The Brazilians have taken competitive surfing in a new direction. Less reliant on the waves and more reliant on their own athleticism.

Great quotes from Steve:
These aren’t people being called on to solve differential calculus or perform brain surgery on kiddies but their livelihood does require being able to place themselves in a position to catch a wave.

Not a bad spray. Still bullshit about Italo from the judges. Maybe knock a few points off for the completion. Coffin was embarrassing in the final.

20 types of wave parks - the Yeppoon one does look better on the wave count per hour.
