Some surfers have already clinched their ticket to the World Title-deciding event at Trestles, so there are only a few precious spots left. Who will seize them?

That was a sick heat. Ewing looks like Fannin on his wraps. I like his flow on the wave. Madina is just insane with some of the stuff he pulls.

[@KirbyCharkra]

How were Ewing's waves only 6's? Not saying he should have won, it's just the judges don't seem to reward great fundamental surfing anymore.

[@markriobr]

Bet you were very happy when the judges robbed Medina at the Olympics

[@bernardmedeiros3974]

Judges did reward fundamental surfing, only medina perfomed it better

[@KirbyCharkra]

@@markriobr you must not have read my comment properly--I said 'not saying Ewing should have won'' or scored higher than Medina. To explain my point, Ewing's is some of the most elegant and stylish on tour. It's an absolute pleasure to watch and I want to see more of it. However, when the judges award it scores in the 6 range, they are effectively discouraging his approach. To avoid being pointlessly attacked, let me be clear. Gabe is a great surfer, probably the most complete surfer so far, has won on turns, has won in the barrel, has won in the air and regularly links them all together.

[@gabe1067]

@@KirbyCharkra I think Ewing is just missing some power and vertical lip attacks. He mostly just did wraps, carves and foam climbs which will not score as well as medinas waves where he attacks the lip and gets a ton of spray.

[@existinguser7788]

nah i completely agree, medina surfed really well but I would've thought ewing's waves were 7s/8s because he was surfing with speed power and flow and hit the critical sections of the wave. My only guess is that the turns he did didn't look dynamic enough, for example he didn't kick up loads of spray or go for a big layback or something on the critical sections which you especially need to do on your forehand to get big scores

[@paulohenriquedealmeidacama8601]

Não sai pé da prancha isto sim rolê progressivo diante do que a natureza o saúda lindo parabéns

[@PrattaGold]

Medina showed your skills on this Mexico . The Brazos are ever better than another countries . The brazilian storm will show all you . That they are ever better than you .

[@oseiasligador]

Dá lhe Medina!! Sensacional, essa bateria, enfrentar esse gringo surfando muito de frontside, não foi fácil. 👍🏻👊🏻🇧🇷

[@joninsco861]

Medina Blazing this Heat . 🇧🇷🤙. To beat Ewing you have to Blaze.

[@lordmuppet4989]

I think Ewing would’ve won if he did a bit more progressive and dynamic surfing, stuff like laybacks, tail slide, throw tails ect. Anyway some sick surfing from both

[@aarms]

Why wasn't the first wave a 90+??

[@h3x122]

First wave feels like more than a 6.27

[@goddamaddog]

medina is the best

[@frankcanrobles4405]

wsl por favor podria poner subtítulos en español en sus videos

[@soulsurfer3102]

Medina is not umen

[@lukeArmstrong524]

Medina is on another level!

[@saliseduardo4357]

Show time!! Exciting Explosive Medina Best entertainment !! II am 10/I ‘m proud Wsl how Can I buy that yellow Jersey he’’s surfing ?????

[@fernandocoelho3757]

[@edwardfabela2200]

[@surfershaper]

Bodysurfing?

[@ChalrieD]

Ewing outsurfed m4edina.

[@magicftn1097]

no

[@magicftn1097]

@Asher McBride lklllkklklkhp8u fo7ut

[@Knqt]

Yes

[@kellsalla]

That was close

[@paulfranzen7810]

You guys have been hyping that dude Gabe for years and I just don't get it. So gyro.

[@surfershaper]

If Medina got a 7.43 for that mediocre wave then Ewing's 6.93 should have been an 8.93 because it was that much better. SERIOUSLY. I'm dark skinned and unbiased, so should the judges be also. Wanker Shame League

[@ronnyxyz4210]

He's not from this world

[@ronnyxyz4210]

And underscored

[@ninjagamerbr947]

Vasco!

[@paulfranzen7810]

I hope the whole tour has to shut down and get rebuilt by people who surf. 600 likes for mex. Perfect reflection of todays lackluster skate tour. Bring back big pits and not calling off the best day at pipe cuz it's too much for the Brazos and whoever else who doesn't like pumping barrels. Kick em off tour if they don't want to preform.

[@PrattaGold]

You don't know how to write analphabet . Quiet your Mouth please . Fool

[@bbchester6]

Congratulations Gabe you officially have the worst style on tour.

[@PrattaGold]

You're the Big Envious . You was sent of the hell center .

[@thomjanson9644]

Medinas surfing 😴 Only surfer to fall off and recover (ugly) and get scored for it! Hahaha... funny..

[@markriobr]

Pay attention both legs were never out of the board

[@surfershaper]

Scored for flailing like a weekender

[@paulfranzen7810]

I was entertained by Ethan. Gabe not so much. Just ugly and not nice on the eyes.

[@PrattaGold]

You're a Fool . Completly Fool are you
