Yeah I dunno what to say other than it was easily the best wave of the event. Blowtail to one foot recovery on the giant opening section into a vertical snap and then a critical layback in the hook, completely engulfed by foam to end it.
yes, but not a ten. not even close
and again, there's no fvcking way medina is losing this
Watch it again tomorrow once the beers have worn off homie
Just watched it two more times. will watch again tomorrow per your comment
Still not seeing it
Re JJF's 10, I thought it was insane, and a miraculous save. Not surprised at the score at the time. But after watching the replays I started thinking that you shouldn't get a perfect 10 when obviously losing control (back foot came off). Sort of similar to Kelly's Lowers left where he fell off but regained control. He got a 4 or so.
John's was obviously tons better than that, but still loss of control.
Just my $0.05

It was an insane recovery and insane that he blew the tail out that far
and insane He was able to take that risk
and insane that the recovery took no time at all
, but I do think it’s a mistake once you’re board is kicked away from your feet like that.
but he did as much as u could do with that wave, and it was huge
the unexpected moves get 10s- like when it looks like u fell, but u make it
nobody expected that
i like his lay forward truns way more than his lay backs
first turn on his 8.4 was my fave

upside down
fuly extended- high risk
took it further than expected (mistake territory)
looks like hes fallen
judges give up at this stage, yet he has instantly recovered, we just dont know it yet
oh sh!t he made it we gotta go 10
and finished with a strong risky turn as well

The angle he took going into that 8.4 was insane. He was practically pointed at 11 o’clock before he started it.
The back foot disengaging from the board like that is not a mistake. It's intentional.
Those turns can be done over and over by competent surfers.
