Lol, i was thinking what Kanoa was gonna do with that incoming white water at 0:47 - fast forward to 0:52 of him getting pulled back xD Nice to see it happens to the pros too

[@lope7824]

2:47 "this is gonna be a good angle..." 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

What are you, two genders?

[@imnotsaray]

No

[@ilovmyslf3375]

It actually hapend, but the reverse

[@edergil077]

"Even I could have surfed those waves like Kanoa, but not like Kelly." (You don´t know what you´re saying)

[@notgone03]

No way. Nice heat but 8.8 was at least a full point too generous.

Kelly is such a smooth surfer

[@michaeldickson-mills4076]

Great video...wack scoring, Slater crushed this heat.

[@Old-Boy_BEbop]

Kanoa was gifted with that score... looks like xmas comes twice a year

[@franciscoavilespino1258]

There isn’t enough about how daring Kanoa’s surfing was in this heat so I’ll say it

[@tysonrinker8089]

That was rediculous those judges should be ashamed of themselves.

[@Elventiladorpodcast]

very good!!!!!!!! merci!!!!!

[@ichorousmedia]

Kelly was robbed but barely, kanoa should have gotten about the same score as kelly's best wave, giving kelly the slight win. One was more technical and about a second longer, the other was far bigger, more perfect, and shapely, but shorter and easier.

[@filipbahunek2504]

I feel like Kanoa deserved a much higher score for his first wave, but a lower score on his last one. It all evens out. He still deserved the win in my opinion.

[@roankrish2152]

Yea I agree

[@youssefsabiri3860]

Slater will remain one of the iconic surf figures of all times, he masters the style, the technic and the agressivity of the performance! A lot of those emerging « young » surfers are just « aping » him..

[@itzu208]

are you joking how was that last one a 8.83 what the hell. That wasn't even close to an 8.0. at most a 6.50

[@fracapouille]

if it's a 8.83, Kelly deserve 10 with these insane barrel

[@KNL27]

y'all. are gay ask

[@beenaatlee8020]

Kanoe

[@RaphaelGuerrawarsoul]

The slater has to be studied, at age 44 and with a performance of this, the guy has the dna different from the others.

[@Prixylees]

He just stays active and has no stress

[@chldndyd21]

And the thing is he found the right sports for him.. amazing

[@BEEBEE159]

The secret to his long success is that he never got married. He almost fucked up with that Bay Watch girl; but he learned his lesson.

[@beenaatlee8020]

Kelly my youth surf god 👽

[@rlombs]

Yea, a lot of mma and boxing people come back or fight until they are around that age, into their 50’s if they’re not too fucked up from their career

[@Viva_la_natura]

It was a big wave, but he had to really stall to manufacture what was an OK barrel. It was as if the wave itself was scored as an 8.8 and not the surfer. I would have score Kanoa with a 7.5 ...8 tops. The waves were so inconsistent that they over-scored a set wave. Kelly's barrel at 2:31...holy smokes.

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Good stuff awesomeness

[@79pejeperro]

cola00000 really?

[@luccaoklopcic5851]

well, as I agree it wasn't a 8.8, wave size counts, and his last wave was way bigger than slaters

[@evygrany8592]

GALEXY___GAMER these shorts break are too short for make a better show

[@long2d]

cola00000 actually earnt is a word in the English language but is less commonly used compared to earned... do some research next time you try to put someone down for a spelling mistake on the internet. 😂

[@JustSujC]

Kanoa is obviously the better surfer.

[@aaron_jordaan]

Kelly has the best and smoothest style on tour

[@richardconner15]

Do they have to replay the same wave 3 times?.REALLY

[@user-sn3vz1to3u]

五十嵐さんの逆転勝利ってことなんだろうけど、最後の波乗りの点数に対して納得がいかない人が多いみたいだね。まずは喜んであげたいけど、どういう基準で点数がつけられてるのかぐらいは提示すべきだと自分も思う。

[@anelise896]

Its onnnn

[@jagiorgi]

Almost 9 for that last barrel? Sorry, i don't see it. Wasn't a critical drop, no doubt he would come out of it, deep but also short. I've seen judges being much less generous in the competition. But that's just me. It was definitely good for JJF....

[@Queensizemusic]

Adriano Giorgi agreed. That was handed to the rookie. That was nowhere near an 8.33 - by any measure.

[@georgefleming7216]

Larry Queen yeah i agree he seemed to just slink his way through the heats doing just enough. It maybe just me but i dont think much of kanoas surfing

[@guilhermefreitas425]

Surf is life

[@bakerdeathwish88]

Beautiful slab ending wave

[@tavinhebert9231]

The last wave was scored way to high both surfers especially Kelly had way better runs with a lower score

8.83 if he made that last floater. Wipe out should have dropped him to 8.10ish

[@CUrjroin87]

7 at least

[@oliverarragon4073]

Go Kelly

[@phmartins-lima4793]

Kelly: don´t go silent into the night. Don´t go quite without a fight!

[@srfy287]

Right on. The fact that Kelly never got married added to his literary and no stress lifestyle. Also a good dose of different poonanis throughout his career helped.

[@theskepticalskeptic]

On kelly's first scoring wave; that slash/hack( board practically underwater, was NASTY!- I love Kinoa, but no WAY was that last wave an 8.3....

[@yaya5tim]

Kanoa's victory after all, but Kelly could easily win this if he didn't mess up the last one, agreed with that Kanoa should get a higher score for the first one but lower for the third one, he got lucky since Kelly messed up

[@paulhetherington3854]

Want a good back azimuth? 3rd vector -->6th g=9in/3sec (9,6+-3)=(12,9,6,3in sec Vectors). Add 12/5. (12,9-6,3)=(6,3,9,6); (12,9-5)=(3,4). Camera balance-track. 3rd track line: (12-9,7)=(3,5); or (8,2)--dx=2. And it caught, you disrespectors of, Eddie Aikau.

6.83 for that wave, not 8.83

[@claymarzobestgoofy]

Felipe would have take that first wave and created an interference and then be pissed about it

[@sharktooth64]

kid was just a bit better...great heat.

[@williamhanley7031]

That was not an 8.33 for kanoah. Short barrel. Maybe a 7 at the most

[@williamhanley7031]

7.9 at the most. That was lame.

[@jeffwisener1378]

Kelly won against him at Keramas and at Pipe.

[@CNewman22]

There is NOWAY he got an 8.8, Slater won

WTF???? KELLY'S WINNER WAS THE TRUE

[@phmartins-lima4793]

Total RIP OFF! It´s shocking. What did the WSL speakers said about this? No one exposed this lie? This scandal should be in front pages. Even a 11 year old girl can tell who surfed better. More tecnhical, more risk taking, more manoevers, clean finishings, commitment, etc. Even I could have surfed those waves like Kanoa, but not like Kelly. The jury should make public a detailed justification on their scores. Otherwise, this sport will never be respected, even by their own athletes. What a fake world. SHAME!

[@tysonrinker8089]

Totally agree I was thinking that it was a no brainer kelly won that heat.

[@ippatugyakutenn01]
