John John Florence vs Gabriel Medina | SHISEIDO Tahiti Pro - Quarterfinals Heat Replay

[@danielfazolo8622]

JJF lost the heat as soon as he left the inside to medina and didn't fight for it. Medina's displayed his mentality perfectly in this heat. He had fun, explored every possibility and made a 2 time world champ look like a rookie, with little to no effort.

[@mathdavies9546]

JJ was flustered it seemed. I've said this many times before that the Brazilians have the grit to win more so than the other nationalities on tour (apart from the goat). Medina won this heat hugely down to wanting to win more, imo.

[@dmt1739]

Gabby is a freak, in a good way!!! Made it look so easy. Hope he takes it all the way

[@philippeph.]

Medina in tubular waves to the left is unbeatable. Brilliant there is no other word

But John is a Legend. So is his family. No storm could compare or change that.

[@mathdavies9546]

Would have put money on JJ but fair play medina was incredible! Both are taking off so late and deep they were pushing each other to go deeper by the looks.

[@twomako9]

and paddleing inerference from gab to jjf ? so unfair

[@mathdavies9546]

@@twomako9 what happened ? I think I missed that !

[@c_coppinger238]

JJF is my guy, but never showed up for this heat. Picked every wrong wave, and Gabe found all the gems. Also, John John did that a lot this year. Dominates early heats, then disappears when it heats up. Hopefully he comes back next year hungry and ready.

[@Boogie0X]

Medina's interference didn't get called out, he is over scored from the beginning of the heats so he can't be beaten, no one is so slow not to get the hint that the heat had been fixed. Why even get involved in a fix. He earned his respect from my view.

[@cpqj7290]

WSL hit bad conditions all season! But this is the pinnacle terrible teahupoo, this place is one of the greatest waves on earth they need to change the way set dates!!!

Yes, ridiculous

yes but he's done a paddleling interference so evident and nothing happends ? since jjf quit hurley they screw him like in jbay with connor ! big up gabe is a boss but this was a interference no doubt about it !

Fantastic effort by the judges to cheat Medina; it took a 10.00 & 9.50+ wave to thwart their heroic attempts.

[@godisbollocks]

Wait, so the Brazilians have utterly taken over the sport in the last half dozen years, but this is evidence of a conspiracy *against* them?
