Mick could easily still be on tour

[@Wahey_RS]

Could easily win the tour*

[@jorgeagar6927]

Absolutely!!

[@aloeup2121]

He rips. My fav surfer. But As we’ve seen with big names taking a break from the tour, there’s a lot more to being on the tour than surfing well at home with zero pressure.

[@ryno1204]

So sharp!

[@paulcarney8659]

Mick Fanning 🏄‍♂️

[@kevinobrien4155]

Fanning should be on tour with that surfing

[@darrentalbot182]

He thrash colopinto

[@jacksonvreal_904]

Took the words out of my mouth. Guy's unreal

[@Snowddova]

Occy doing Occy things dropping on Parko

[@dancotton3199]

4 ppl in the water still drops in..

[@awelldressedape3419]

he wasn't making the wave

[@pronounsushistore]

​@@awelldressedape3419 he was still stalling when occ dropped - he was for sure coming out

[@an0m1eofficial56]

Occy dropping in is what made the wave crumble on him. So damn funny! 😅

[@awelldressedape3419]

@@pronounsushistore look again, he was too deep and pulling through the back

[@darightcoast1912]

Pure unadulterated entertainment. There should be one of these at every stop.

[@going_on_with_chicken]

You're not wrong

[@k1ng5urfer]

I'd love to see it

[@jjjackiclacki]

Vintage Occy all right, his signature move - the drop in.

[@mermaidsurfer]

Well done WSL. Giving the people what they want to see. That was so much fun to watch.

[@joserdiazalmodovar1898]

Gilmore ! What a huge performance.

[@realistikvideo]

Best heat I’ve seen in a long time!

[@kylestanford7574]

Finally the people we actually want to watch surf snapper

[@planetvegeta26]

My heart was pumping watching this whole event, well done WSL 👏

[@erwan2949]

Was just sitting in front of my screen with the smile for 43min straight, absolute legends right there ! Loved it

[@maxfish4770]

Best heat to watch in many years

[@Mthmgful]

Probably the best WSL Ive seen this year. Mike surfing is insane

[@805centralcoastcalifornia4]

Mick needs to come out of Retirement and Win a couple World Titles he looks young and pumped up Rippin Snapper 🌊🌊🌊 totally ❤ it Let's Gooooooo such a Great Heat

[@gregprevite8548]

This put a huge smile on my face. Everyone looking good. Mick looked razor sharp, and steph just surfs this wave so beautifully. Incredible stuff

[@SecretSquid949]

Why is there not a world champion world tour with retired champs… look how many people gather to watch the icons and legends of the sport.

[@SecretSquid949]

Or at least more heritage heats

[@k1ng5urfer]

@@SecretSquid949 I'd love more heritage heats. They're always fantastic

[@jacksonvreal_904]

Mick Fanning would be top 10 if not better on the actual tour right now. Guy's still unreal

[@joaoteixeira335]

Champions Surf Tour NOW! We want MORE!😂

[@FilipeStein]

Yes! Retired champions :)

[@ian9toes]

28:27 Slater still has it with the wave of the session.

[@robbphillips2845]

Steph and Kelly together have 19, how insane is that right.

[@anthippo91]

Mick absolutely ripping looked just as sharp as any of the waves ridden in the contest today

[@Durangooooo]

Sharper.

[@joshsmith7999]

Like last year when he was free surfing at Trestles, he was the stand out before the finals event kicked off

[@nathanahern2270]

hey WSL I know you don't listen to the fans but this stop should always be part of the CT tour

[@wsl]

snapper is back on the ct next year

[@maxfish4770]

I think that's changing, definite change from previous years

[@jasonfreestone9944]

The WSL has devalued every world championship from now on with the Trestle’s final five rubbish. Even one of Steph’s titles was really Carissa’s. WSL more like WWE.

[@brayeuraeva7411]

​@@wslyo wsl i know you dont listent to the fans but nobody care about watching the girl surf they better be modeling , we wanna see actions run the men pleassse

[@dynodin81]

[@philip-field]

One of the best things I’ll witness - what a treat to see these legends shredding Snapper together, so sick. 5 stars WSL for making that happen in such rad conditions.

[@francoisrossouw1656]

Bugs, Ronnie and Rich love you guys awesome insights and memories.

[@maxfish4770]

Hands down the best thing wsl has done in years, don't tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel!

[@integr8electricscogoldcoas349]

I could watch this all day long ❤

[@danielbelcher_]

How's the GC crowd!! Wsl events def belong here. This heat was such a great idea 😎🤙

[@ian9toes]

When it comes to surfing there is one thing I have in common with Parko, we’ve both been dropped in by Occy.

[@user-bo1gf7bg8v]

You guys finally made surf contests fun again

[@evanpuma]

If snapper is ever all time for a event window you got to do this again with scoring.

[@beezersurf]

Best heat ever. Legends.

[@aaronraines3375]

Listening to u lads commentating is also priceless...this heat is great. I was a Goldie local 89-2007 now Philippines

[@bonniebob2802]

Great to see all these legends surfing together.

[@stewartcash555]

More people turned out for this than all the crowds combined so far this year

[@TickTock-jo4to]

9:07 Parko must have been pissed. lol

[@jaycee571]

That was such a bad drop in, standard occ

[@dancotton3199]

4 ppl in the water, still drops in. Snapper in a nutshell

[@maxfish4770]

Parko is permanently pissed, cranky old man

[@Malama_Ki]

Caved the chandelier on him!😂

[@joserdiazalmodovar1898]

The Goat for me is for Surfing What Eddie Van Halen did for electric guitar

[@guitarwithtom6041]

Mick and Steph on fire 🔥

[@LumiRapper]

Fanning improved, all of them still have it even more than some currently on the ct.

[@joserdiazalmodovar1898]

It would be great to see the 70,s and 80,s Masters that still surf say Richards, Curren, Carroll, Thomson, Rabbit Bugs, Lopez that league you people know.

[@jozzieification]

What’s great about retired pro surfers is that they still stay in shape unlike professional soccer players or boxers who usually just become fat cringe alcoholics after retiring.

[@LovelyDetectiveJace]

Exactly

[@killbill5486]

"cringe alcoholics" LMAO!!!

[@kaiasano8370]

surfing keeps you in shape 🤙

Stephanie 27:46 score 10.00

Imagine if andy be on that heat🥺

[@briancanbefound]

MICK is the bomb. Still have that White Lightening vid. Special

[@Tyler-mz2sm]

Do this every contest (if the waves are good). This was the most entertaining heat I've seen in years.

[@joeblogs54321]

That was special. Bout time WSL did something good for the sport.

[@johnnydrumgole8476]

Witness greatness!!!!

[@hug00x]

Love to see former champions styles and flows differences. Occy's back hand is still so good. Cool vibe, Cool exhibition. Stoked for the tour to be back at Snapper.
