Her surfing from the waist down is great, but very rigid arms. I see this problem so many times in skating too.Personally I find her surfing to be ugly. The strange rigid arm movements. The mechanical look. The lack of flow. Yuck. That she's #2 is another example of how the best contest surfers are not necessarily the best surfers.
Her surfing does absolutely nothing for me. There are other female surfers whose style and approach to wave riding I greatly admire. Not hers......even though as an East Coaster I'm probably supposed to root for her. Her style is just plain ugly and so mechanical looking that its distracting.Her surfing from the waist down is great, but very rigid arms. I see this problem so many times in skating too.
Someone can rip but flail their arms and looks weird.
You gotta admit she can throw buckets on her backside. I think it's very impressive for how young she is.Her surfing does absolutely nothing for me.

This is true. Over the years I've watched Kim Mearig, Mary Osborne, Lakey Peterson, and Sage Erickson school the locals time and again. You don't have to be male or female to possess talent. If you have it, it will show.Caroline Marks will surf circles around all of you (and me), guaranteed, but it's super fun to watch you all think otherwise.
he's just trolling for ego gratificationKelly has thin skin. He gets pissed on insta a lot.
Who here has said they can surf better than her?Caroline Marks will surf circles around all of you (and me), guaranteed, but it's super fun to watch you all think otherwise.
You said, "Theres 100 guys in the water at rincon on any given swell that surf better than her. "Who here has said they can surf better than her?
Speaking for myself, I haven’t even said anything negative at all about her surfing.
What I’m doing is calling out the writer of the article who says that there are only “150 men in the world who can surf better than her (100 if it’s point break surf)”.
That’s absurd.
There are 100 guys in ventura that surf point break waves better than her.
Yes I was. Admittedly so.You said, "Theres 100 guys in the water at rincon on any given swell that surf better than her. "
The Stab guy might be exaggerating, but so are you.
‘Taking heat strategy and style out of it and just base it on surfing alone she‘d do very well against U16 boys.I think she'd be hard pressed to make the semis in a U16 Boys Prime event.
