Mick Fanning vs Kanoa Igarashi | Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Round of 32 Heat Replay

[@AudraGibson]

Great surfing by both. Good to see Fanning in fine form and back in the water.

[@vznquest]

classic heat. mick's surfing is aging like a fine wine.

[@didymostruespeal]

Now that's some great waves ! that's what we're talking about! I was worried about small waves through the whole contest. Glad to see that's not the case

[@glenncalogaras4494]

Sick surfing From both the lads, great to see Mick keeping the boys on there toes.🤘🍺

[@リーマンサーファーTV]

amazing heat japan is proud of kanoa

[@changadoobs7993]

go mick,what a legend!

[@theBamboozleRoom]

Shark … I’m sure that’s a🦈 shark on the shoulder as Mick sets up bottom turn 6:08

[@adamdyer7197]

So good to see Mick win this one 👏👏👏

[@khhk2004]

What’s in the water at 6:11 seconds ?

[@T5r2]

Ya mum

[@8CSKN8]

It's that bloke Noah that Mick punched at J Bay

[@Viva_la_natura]

Wow!! Crazy!!

[@Gavinmac001]

I saw it???

[@bruceharris8001]

IT'S A CROC MATE!!!!

[@jeromesurffoil7033]

Can't argue that it wasn't a competitive heat. That was actually entertaining for once.

[@jackandcalbmxkids2092]

Kanoa nearly fell off twice on that 8 point ride at the end - strange scoring, Mick was clearly better in this heat, by a good margin.

[@stone34]

I thought so too. It wasn't even good surfing on that wave and he got an 8? And then he acted like he won the world title with his silly huge claim. Mick blew him away.

[@mateusbonorino8991]

Respect the passion but that claim was too much brah 😂

[@brandonlissner2840]

Most cringe claim I've ever seen 😂

[@davidodonnellfilm]

Claiming that hard and losing is heavy 😂

[@brandonlissner2840]

@ProjectBlue the wave wasn't even worthy of a claim either.... The turns he did weren't even great.

[@KanyeKetchup]

How'd Fanning get this far was lucky

[@thesidewalksaint6236]

fake will never be real😂 again 😂

[@kendrickfolarin]

mick surfed way more connected and clean, smooth, well deserved win

[@josephjames6603]

Mick's second wave, first turn was beastmode.

[@Viva_la_natura]

I don't mean to sound negative because the right guy won but Fanning's surfing was so beyond.. I didn't even think the heat was close.

[@T5r2]

This is beautiful

[@williamhanley7031]

Definitely was not a 8 point ride for kanoa. Terrible overscore. Something needs to be said about that number

[@manifest8082]

Well done Fanning! 👏

[@johnsonbeyeriii]

The Huntington Beach dude from Japan or wherever he identifies as got smoked by the legend

[@KanyeKetchup]

Fanning in the fire real close in the earlier heats wasn't so good

[@filippecomph]

Stop blaming Kanoa, he just wanted the priority that by rule was his. That would give him the right to choose the best wave and try to sell. I'm not a fan of his, but he was correct and the judges were wrong.When using jetski the priority is who made the first wave, not who arrives first.

[@bradshelton2397]

Yeaaaaaaaah Mick!

[@keithallison3756]

Psyched to see Mick nail this one. Kanoa's claim was to sold and reaching for the score. I get it the competition, but brah you looked goofy

[@joshuamills7633]

Yeah so cringe

[@KanyeKetchup]

Fanning was lucky to get that far truth be told earlier heats was nothing

[@filippecomph]

How do you blame Kanoa for the reaction? The judges didn't play by their own rules, he was right. When using the jetski, it doesn't matter who arrived first, but who made the first wave has priority.

Kanoa!!!

There was a shark next to mick in the wave in front of one of his cutties.

[@dkilla01]

That’s his home of course he gonna go hard

[@wasabimogi3880]

Kanoa definitely won this heat

[@guduloop]

Mick is good

[@stone34]

What in the world... Kanoa acting like he just won the World Title on his last wave... he wasn't even close to winning this heat let alone the world title. Calm Down Son!! The commentators said look at his passion, more like look at the Drama Queen. There's just something about Kanoa where he looks like tries way too hard at being the man. With that all being said... atta boy MICK!!!

[@adamlorden5666]

HAHAHA fuck man I cant stop laughing here LOOL

[@jesussaves33]

Kanoa straight up kookin it hahah

no more yellow jersey

Kanoa's Claim.... CLOWN

[@surf..77]

Mick legend

[@eamonsherry2185]

Feeling for Kanoa, must have felt he had it in the bag to claim like that.

[@danielvelascocampos1900]

Or claimed to try to get the points... shit claim tbh.

[@wasabimogi3880]

Im a champion.

[@danielvelascocampos1900]

That claim was something of an soap opera shit.

[@georgegeoh6381]

Fork again ))

[@garylohr8450]

It's like carving the turkey on thanksgiving.

[@williamhanley7031]

Don't know why kanoa was acting like he wone the heat. Was not a well surfed wave. Tons of hick ups. Was terrible. Nothing on Mick.

[@adamlorden5666]

Down vote me all u want but that claim kanoa did at the end should have been rewarded with big fat 0, heck they should have counted it as an interference, interference to the viewers. One of the lamest/cringiest things i have ever seen in professional surfing.

[@DavidSmith-lj1yz]

@@adamlorden5666 your tax dollars paid for his education and participation in the NSSA... I hate him because he represents the idea that Asian Americans will always be second class US citizens because of their ethnicity.
