wondering if italo will do a backflip

 

[sponge]

Priority error by Brisa. With less than a minute, Steph scores a good one and advances.

Kanoa is a tool - Griff should be here

 

[Boneroni]

Lol, Kanoa and Italo flexing for priority and the judges wipe the priority away.

kanoa only got a 5 on that wave with man hacks? The slow mo really showed how dank that was

Watch italo get a better score with the one 360

edit, that was pretty dank on further review but an 8?

 

[sponge]

Italo: One maneuver, backside reverse 360 air -- 8.17

Meh. Kanoa's first turn was okay.

 

[Boneroni]

Kanoa probably could've taken the heat if they had chosen to actually surf instead of priority bitching for the first 12 minutes.

 

[One-Off]

Why they doing it on a Thursday? Couldn't theywait for Saturday when the swell is supposed to arrive?

This has got to stop. the fans can't surf though so they like it.

Does the youtube english broadcast keep going black for anyone else? It works on spanish . The Brazilian fans are really going crazy for tati does she ever speak portugese In post heat interviews?

watch Italo win b/c of a whirly bird for a 9 after Ethan has four 8s

 

[toowalled]

I like how italo is frothing and jumps off the stage instead of using the stairs like ethan

 

[Northern_Shores]

You gotta be retarded to think Kanoa would ever beat Italo. Italo is about 10x better.

the problem with the high score for a hail mary air on a closeout is theres no risk
its a shitty wave
risk used to be part of the scoring, still might be
i prefer an entire , good, wave to be surfed well

 

[Northern_Shores]

And now Ewing getting smoked!

thats what i am expecting. imo ewing will need to do a big air on his first turn, then a bunch of turns after, to beat eataho

that slip was crucial.

He seems to be bogging a bit, shoulda been on a timmy patterson
