Lots of swell and windy as fuck. Sounds like a typical Supertubos contest.
Insane barrel to double fist claim to faceplant at 0:46.
Crazy how that faceplant managed to taint that barrel! Somehow that ending ruins it. That should have been a barrel for the history books. Don't claim guys.
For contest surfing coach/shaper Ben Aipa (RIP) always told the kids to finish a wave strong and in control.
No, that is a reasonable summation.If I'm remembering incorrectly, someone please correct me.
My recollection is that the first SuperTubos CT event (as Rip Curl "search" event) was insane surf with glassy clean conditions for almost the entire event.
Then they made it a regular tour stop.
And there has been one other finals day that had great surf and offshore wind all day.
Other than that, in the 15 years of events there, it has been blown out by 10am, moved to a terrible back up venue, or breaking right on the sand, with a few random amazing waves per event.
Am I missing anything?
what i bet he didn't tell them was: "always finish with a failed air reverse."
It’s actually where the distinction between top pros and average surfers can be seen the most. The speed and power they generate in crap surf is mind boggling.
Completely disagree.
Yeah, perhaps, but average surfers aren’t often surfing heavy reef surf to actually make the comparison. On the other hand, take any of the pros and put them at 2-foot Oceanside and it is like they’re participating in a different sport than the majority of the lineup. But point taken.
