Idk about the judges on this one. Ethan was surfing on a different speed here compared to liam as pete said Ethan puts the board on rail more than liam, while liam puts the board kinda flat. I think liam 8.60 is overscored

[@fynnsebastian5587]

judging was fine, ethan was surfing better but liam was on the best waves. great surfing either way from the aussies!

[@ComedyByAlan]

The judges probably read all the comments on previous videos where Ethan was accused of being over scored and decided to make up for it. I thought Ethan deserved the win on this one

[@shacktime]

Pretty much. I never watch the events live anymore. The judging is infuriating. I don’t need the stress.

[@luke3184]

Lol

[@christopherorman5769]

Liam is a great surfer and fun to watch, but he didnt win this heat and that 8.6 was one of the biggest overscores ive seen in a long time. Liams lack of flow alone should have put it in the low 7s.

[@andyh5201]

I’m going to disagree with the complainers on this one. Liam’s 8.6 was a fair bit better than Ethan’s good one. Ethan only had 2 good turns some transitional stuff and a little rev. Liam had 4 critical hits on a bigger wave then a similar rev…

[@ronaldbronson1285]

Yah Liams 8.6 was underscored if anything. Wave was faster, had more critical sections, and he paced it pretty much perfectly. Ethan's surfing was better but his waves weren't.

[@alienal8278]

Hmmm donut for the judges on this one

[@shacktime]

@@xwhite2020Gross exaggeration. But the judges blow it far too often. It makes the live broadcasts unwatchable for me.

[@1b14now6]

*LO FinFree* that's my takeout

[@PabloFernandez-ro9ix]

Damn Ethan got screwed big Time. This judges need to get fired.
