People don't realize the top athletes channel supernatural spirits & so do music stars, movie stars & mad scientists. Nazi scientists have created Giant Monsters including Dragons, 60 ft Great White Shark Leviathans, Lycans, Giant Apes, Cat People & Dinosaurs that never existed prior to Nazi Germany. Those scientists were hired by the US government when the war ended so we have been funding their research for over 70 years. Up from the deep Meg's teeth did gleam seemed he was thinking bout just one thing he opened his jaws & shook his dorsal & said I think I'll have a surfer sized morsel !

[@nomoreluke7667]

+logan chakos Because he's a poor sportsman - he's refused to go up on stage TWICE after a loss. Plus his wide stance looks shit and his air reverses are overscored. Also, he claims EVERYTHING!!! He's a VERY hard surfer to like. Unless you're Brazilian

I thought about that on Medina's 9.5 vs. Slater's 9.63. But I figure the difference in points is due to style. Kelly's kick out was more stylish than Gabe's.

@@gulftoad ah... but style is not part of the judging criteria. If it was then there would be no brazilian storm and parko, fanning, ace, kelly and a few others would completely dominate the tour.

Kelly is an absolute legend

[@youssefsabiri3860]

Slater remains the master and the complete surfing model, the victory of that medina (who is a good surfer foresure) is just a way to maintain the show and introduce something new for the needs of the audience... Slater inspired all those teenagers who pretend challenging him, and he opened the road to spectacular figures and new surfing possibilities... so when those teenagers win by accident and likely beat slater, they should always observe a kind of tribute to him and respect to his unique and singular performance, without Slater and some other surfers of his era, nowadays surfing possibilities would not be as it is

[@czarnpg]

Was the kelly's smaller wave (9.63) overscored?

[@brucejohnwayne7783]

Cplo Wu Maybe. Slater likely always gets few tenths of a point; he is pretty much the big money draw for surfing. He does get a few favors from judges, but Kelly saved the market and surfing tour by him being on it. If Kelly is not on tour, none of the other guys are going to get paid. Kelly is like Muhammad Ali in boxing. Maybe other boxers were better than Ali, but Ali's personally brought big bucks to the sport of boxing in general. Andy Iron's is the only other guys that could replace Slater, but Andy is now dead.

[@upsidedahead]

I thought so. Plus the crazy one that Medina got after got scored less. Kooky

Barrel bro, you are probably right. Overall I was more impressed with Slater, he took more risks. I also find it noteworthy that he didn’t need to be towed out. I know there are rules, but still he did it all on his own power. He nearly beat the best wave. 41 years old versus 20 years, my hat is off to the old dog, but the kid deserves the win by the rules

[@Estuvalle]

I much prefer when they hold the camera under water so you can hardly see anything at all. Also wonderful was cutting to a tent at the moment Medina is given the result. Really, difficult to compete with quality like that, although Captain Obvious, the American commentator, gives them a good run.
