Yew Caroline! Another FL world champ

 

[Boneroni]

Caroline earned that.
I’m sure Carissa is not happy with the format though since she would’ve won without the finals day format

 

[Leonardo]

the format is ridiculous

As is the location. Finish at pipe, old format.

Just tuned in and caught the very end if the first mens final heat and watched this one with the women. Such lame conditions. 20 minutes without a ride. So lame.

Fun waves for a typical lowers contest but absolute bullshite to decide the title at lowers... these titles will have an asterisk next to them when this all shakes out.

I like the idea of a finals/playoffs. Realistically, there are only five or six people that have a shot at being champ (crazy that the two best surfers didn't make the finals this year), so why not take take that to make it more entertaining. But one day at lowers is lame. I say, take the top 6 and have three events in Hawaii to finish. Waimea, Rockies (when it's like head high), then end at Pipe. Lose two guys each even. At the end, the best surfer has proven themselves in big waves, progressive waves, and ledgey barrels.

Buddy from Hawaii is visiting. We've been watching it from the couch. Dude loves surfing, and just passed the fuck out during the men's final.

 

[Boneroni]

I don’t mind a final format, but why do it at a spot that’s usually windy in the afternoon? Finals at lowers are almost always junky

saw enough of the chick heat to see marks was a level above moore

 

[StuAzole]

Flipper is so good in small and medium waves. Sucks that a world champ cant perform at big barreling lefts.

youd prefer a world champ who can’t perform at 6’ lowers?

 

[Havoc]

lol at carissa 2x in a row completely chokes

 

[menobrah]

Boooooring...

 

[vanrysss]

A fitting end to a season of sh!t waves

 

[bonzer5fin]

they just called felipe a "local boy." hahaha, i don't care how long anyone from another country lives at a place, unless they were born there, they are always going to be a visitor. san clemente isn't that desperate are they? people here that bought houses in the 80's are still visitors.

 

[EastCoastBrah]

lol at carissa 2x in a row completely chokes

is it choking or is the final held at the worst wave for her?
