John John Florence vs Jack Robinson | Western Australia Margaret River Pro 2024 - Final

[@wetwhistle4ubutplughurtme697]

@WSL please get rid of the final 5 and the mid year cut, thanks...everyone.

[@RoberioAraujo-zq7gl]

Finalmente sem os brasucas a wsl vai ter o prazer numa final sem vibração nenhuma colocar um deles na ponta do campeonato Mas jonh jonh nunca será tri,pelo menos por méritos.

[@paulbaker7675]

Get rid of the elimination round. Complete waste of time just to lose 4 surfers. 3rd place should automatically go from opening round. Then no reason to do mid year cut.

[@HollywoodWestern]

Agreed

[@scottthomasen8978]

​. I still think it would be a good idea to have a Brazilian wave pool tour to allow the Brazilians to excel where they do, in the smaller stuff for tricks, and big spots like this for those like JJF who can't be matched by small wave guys. I felt the vibration in this final unlike the Kelly pool and final five mess.

[@goldsweeper7837]

Yes please! Get rid of this shit show. Nobody wants a world title decided at Trestles in one day, it should be earned across a variety of quality waves.

[@aheibloem]

Good surfing, good sports, good friends!!! No tears, no complaints, no bad tantrums!!! Great example of a top class final!!

[@hommuside]

I say more tantrums and more drama. It’s was a great day’s surfing to be sure but we honestly need more shit talkers and more characters. Generally speaking it’s so sanitized and bland AF.

Please keep future events with the same waves conditions to allow fair competition and world class surfing performances. No more clown shows. 🎉

[@Christmylife78]

I already know the winner because I visited the WSL webpage to find out how to watch the entire finals day, and the winner was prominently displayed on the front page. As a long-time fan of professional surfing since the ASP days, it’s disheartening to witness the decline in the World Surf League. The lack of consideration for surfers and fans and the continuous deterioration of the experience have left many feeling disillusioned. Seth’s sentiment about not enduring the challenges of the challenger series again if he did not make the cut resonates with my own feelings. Sometimes, we reach a breaking point where the passion we once had becomes overshadowed by disappointment. It’s okay to step away when something no longer brings joy or fulfillment. Perhaps it’s time to explore other avenues within the surfing community or find solace in memories of the ASP era. To the surfers who have had to endure so much disappointment within the WSL: remember, our well-being matters, and sometimes saying “I am done” is an act of self-care. Congrats to Jack! 🤙🤙Sorry you could not compete at the box. Perhaps I’ll watch one more CT event stop at Cloudbreak if they grant the GOAT (Kelly Slater) the wildcard. However, once Kelly Slater leaves the WSL, I’ll follow suit.

[@rodeo241]

feel like that 9.10 of jack is overscored. two maneuvers and a 9? i get it, the wave size? it was huge but maybe worthy of an 8.5 and that straight air too feels like it is overscored too. sad to see the best performer and surfer of the contest going down. that 8.77 of his was way better in my eyes even the commentator felt it. great final nonetheless and nothing against jack.

[@alistairmills7608]

Now that's a final.

[@eamonsherry2185]

Best heat of the year. Wish it went longer

[@BertoBoyd]

Must’ve been Jack’s air that pushed him over to make the win. I felt JJ’s surfing was a tad bit better because of his ending snaps. Oh and that was a 3-4ft air not 6ft. Love me a good straight air. Congrats Jack!!

[@georgesmith509]

Hometown cooking, JJF CLEARLY UNDERSCORED ON HIS FIRST 2 WAVES! Even the announcers were oozing for Jack!

[@deanjericevic8912]

Coruscating surfing by both Jack & John! Thoroughly enjoyable to watch! “Huey” pitched up some great surf for the finals though certainly disappointing in the lead up over the heats.

[@david-cp2bz]

Wonderful heat. Terrific surfing. Odd scoring. I can see how Jack takes it but jjf absolutely underscored. WSL needs to address the scoring inconsistency. It takes a bit of the fun out of it.

That huge carve and finish in the lip from Jack won the heat. So critical on such a gnarly wave. Wanted JJF to win, but Jack surfed his brains out. Well deserved. Can't help but think about the beatings I would take if I were in some of these conditions 😅

[@lucasbento7625]

Wow.. even the commentator said John's wave would be scored higher than Jack's 9.1.. I'm really curious on how the judges make up scores.. a simple air scored higher than a reverse full rotation..

[@maxjosephson1247]

I think they are looking at the section he hit. Much bigger part of the wave than John’s end section

[@maxjosephson1247]

And jacks air was much higher

[@raenenava925]

Jack Air 😂 something simple regular

[@petecabrina]

You are confused, Jack's air did not score higher than that wave of JJ's, was Jack's earlier wave that got the 9.1, mostly because of that ridiculous make on the end section, the way he can free fall out of moves like its nothing is ridiculous. JJ's wave wasn't a bigger set wave neither which is always a factor. Jack won the heat either way, JJ couldn't find the second score.

Torço pela evolução de JJF e Robinson nos aéreos! O inovador e progressivo só voltará a ser valorizado e incentivado quando australianos e americanos o dominarem. Enquanto for um diferencial dominantemente brasileiro, será desvalorizado e não veremos evolução no esporte. O grau de risco de queda e lesão é infinitamente maior do que de uma rasgada, por mais bem executada que ela seja. Parabéns a ambos pela brilhante final!

[@ViktorFRocha]

Tás doido mano John um dos melhores aerialista de todos os tempos desde de que ano você acompanha o surf ?

Seriously? Those airs are from the 90s for the rest of the surf world. I never can figure out why you all think these are so progressive, but figure it just is to you all as you are late comers.

[@tacabrero]

Os aéreos não são progressivos não, foi mal! Progressivo é rasgada praticada desde 2.000 antes de Cristo😂 e John John manda muito no aéreo, por isso que domina as ondas de Trestles e Surf Ranch😂.. que eles mandam aéreo todo mundo sabe, eu tô falando de dominar o aéreo, com índice de acerto próximo de Felipinho, Medina e Ítalo, só isso meus irmãos. E ter joelho e preparo físico pra sustentar o impacto disso no corpo. E pro gringo que acha ultrapassado, se os aéreos são tão fáceis, deduzo que todo mundo manda aí no dia a dia né!!! Se aéreo não tivesse nível de dificuldade maior, porque JJF os arriscaria quando precisava do 10 pra variar a bateria? 🤔😂
