People don't realize the top athletes channel supernatural spirits & so do music stars, movie stars & mad scientists. Nazi scientists have created Giant Monsters including Dragons, 60 ft Great White Shark Leviathans, Lycans, Giant Apes, Cat People & Dinosaurs that never existed prior to Nazi Germany. Those scientists were hired by the US government when the war ended so we have been funding their research for over 70 years. Up from the deep Meg's teeth did gleam seemed he was thinking bout just one thing he opened his jaws & shook his dorsal & said I think I'll have a surfer sized morsel ! The Billabong Pipeline Masters would be a perfect setting to unleash the Beast for Kelly's final event as a pro !

Slater remains the master and the complete surfing model, the victory of that medina (who is a good surfer foresure) is just a way to maintain the show and introduce something new for the needs of the audience... Slater inspired all those teenagers who pretend challenging him, and he opened the road to spectacular figures and new surfing possibilities... so when those teenagers win by accident and likely beat slater, they should always observe a kind of tribute to him and respect to his unique and singular performance, without Slater and some other surfers of his era, nowadays surfing possibilities would not be as it is

[@johnhamilton7495]

These new surfers are just as good as Kelly on all levels KELLY SET THE BAR AND NOW THEY HAVE CAUGHT UP

[@loganchakos8301]

Why is everyone hating on medina he is one of the best surfers in the world!

[@nomoreluke7667]

+logan chakos Because he's a poor sportsman - he's refused to go up on stage TWICE after a loss. Plus his wide stance looks shit and his air reverses are overscored. Also, he claims EVERYTHING!!! He's a VERY hard surfer to like. Unless you're Brazilian

[@danieljohnston1884]

He's quite aggressive in the line up too.

[@SuperBacDoc]

Too much claims, best surfers are subtle claimers.

[@tommyhofer1176]

I feel like Kelly Slater's 9.63 was overscored. That's a 9.3 or 9.4 at most in my eyes, Because the wave wasn't as powerful as some of Gabriel Medina's waves

[@fugley100]

True

[@kmoose1864]

But he was really deep

[@yrrahyrrah]

Maybe he gets some legend bias ;)

[@steveperreira5850]

Barrel bro, you are probably right. Overall I was more impressed with Slater, he took more risks. I also find it noteworthy that he didn’t need to be towed out. I know there are rules, but still he did it all on his own power. He nearly beat the best wave. 41 years old versus 20 years, my hat is off to the old dog, but the kid deserves the win by the rules

[@embowy000]

He was rlly deep plus he was great on the waves, the waves weren’t great that’s why he got that score

Was the kelly's smaller wave (9.63) overscored?

[@brucejohnwayne7783]

Cplo Wu Maybe. Slater likely always gets few tenths of a point; he is pretty much the big money draw for surfing. He does get a few favors from judges, but Kelly saved the market and surfing tour by him being on it. If Kelly is not on tour, none of the other guys are going to get paid. Kelly is like Muhammad Ali in boxing. Maybe other boxers were better than Ali, but Ali's personally brought big bucks to the sport of boxing in general. Andy Iron's is the only other guys that could replace Slater, but Andy is now dead.

I thought so. Plus the crazy one that Medina got after got scored less. Kooky

Now whatching that awsome final as a viewer , who knows surf quite well and being totally impartial . My opinion is that kelly first wave 9.63 was way overscored compared to Medina 22:46....9.53. So in the end was never that close , Medina won anyway but the numbers does not reflect how he did it. The question now is ? How far he will go improving his game as fast as he does. Well my friends....write that down;;;;He will rewrite surf history. ALOHA

Finally I see a honest comment. No preferences bullshit. I'm a huge fan of Kelly Slater, he won my respect and admiration some 20 years ago when I was Tom Curren fan. I was surfing at that time for 15 years already and didn't really appreciate the aerial game, but he won me. Now Gabriel is doing the same. He's simply a hell of a good surfer overall.

Hate to say because can be deceiving until certain point,now since that point is here today just have to. Look at the numbers and even closer where the victories are. Who won at Fiji,Tahiti and Pipe? Has more finals where the other was to be ruling. The joke is on you , must be hard to watch that happening and have no good argument to give it back.
