da fuq? Are you even Brazilian?
seems pretty basic. gabe calls out the judges in his post heat presser. wsl gets butthurt. puts in the whammy next time its close and bye-bye.
This looks like it belongs on this thread.

Ok, I'm going there, but only for the fun of it... If you get fucked by the judges and you're American, you get an apology.
World Surf League on Instagram: "The Head Judge and Nat met for a heat review and watched all of the waves from Nat, Mikey and Charly. It was recognized and acknowledged that Nat’s 4.03 was in fact underscored and the wave should have been in the 5 or 6-point-range. Even though it was not the 7.21 that Nat needed to get into an advancing position, we still wanted to acknowledge the error."

If you're a Brazilian you pretty much have to figure in a 1-point deduction.......perhaps more if the score is needed to beat a southern Californian.
brazzos sure like to complain a lot. medina complains more than his sister
I'm not a Brazzo. I'm not even a fan of the Brazzos. Its just become so blatantly obvious at this point that it has to be talked about. Was just listening to a new podcast with Cheyne Horan and he was pretty much on fire about the judging. Worth a listen.
You should be more worried about fixing the broken judging system than antagonizing the brazzos just because they're annoying. If it was Kelly complaining you would be rallying right behind him.
Just look at Nat's 4.03 against all other waves on the heat. Even after apologizing to Nat and actually changing his score (yeah, that happened), it was still not enough. He needed a 7.21... his wave was excellent. They fucked him. Forget bias, judging simply sucks and needs to improve. I like Julian Wilson's idea of putting cameras and microphone in the judges booth. Something is off, even if it's just incompetence.
Also, I see one brazzo here:

Its all rigged. Was rigged in the 70s and its rigged today. Cheyne Horan goes into it in that podcast I referenced. Worth listening to. Here is the link.

I know you're trolling btw. Just going with it cos' it's just fun.
If we were antagonizing the Brazzos for being annoying, the proportional response to Kelly would be going to the factory and injecting lead and vax into his endorfins.
I mean yeah the Brazzos can be extremely competitive when encountered on trips but equally annoying as Kelly? Wow. Have we been too hard on you homie?
You guys really take this silly figure skating sport judging system seriously don't you?
With all due respect to Gabby, he might want to entertain this life lesson:
If you are being subjectively judged by people who have the ability to screw you over in so many ways--or reward you in so many ways-- you might want to consider being nice and getting along with them.
Just a thought.

No stifle, and don't publicly criticize people that hold your future in their hands.
Sorry to break it to you, but that's how the world works. What world do you live in?
And don't try to tell me that every other WSL surfer doesn't also get screwed several times a year.
It is what it is--a - subjective figure skating judging system. A pro should learn to deal with it and not throw counter -productive tantrums.
Because when Medina does that, he bends himself over.
