His small wave game beats AI and JJF.
IRL he's a machine, similar to Kelly.

Counterpoint, he really seemed to enjoy the DHD/MOTE. If Darren has an ounce of sense he'll convince Simon to let him build those things en-masse.The flaw in this series is forcing the shapers to make such different board sizes. Some are required to make a 6'10 - 7'2 and others are required to make a 4'10 - 5'5 or whatever it was. If your surfer is Mikey February, then fine. He knows how to ride boards of various lengths. But it's bullshit when your surfer is Mick Fanning.
Have the shapers make Mick the most high performance alt board they can in his preferred size range.
Of course the most hp alt in this series is going to win. It's not going to be one of the longer ones that he could barely turn.
Yes, better than Dane.
Mick is a better surfer than Dane.
Have to disagree there.Mick is a better surfer than Dane.
It becomes glaringly obvious if you watch them both in the water together.
I haven't seen hours and hours IRL of both, but I have seen both IRL on multiple occasions surfing the same and different locations.Have to disagree there.
I've seen hours and hours of Micks surfing up close.
He's insane, but not on Dane's level IMO.
Still a Top 5 surfer even now though, as he showed at Bells.
Have you surfed a peak with mick?Have to disagree there.

Almost like their chosen career paths primed them for a specific type of performanceI would agree with that assessment casa, Mick is one of the most well rounded surfers of all time.
Dane is more explosive with moments of brilliance.
I like to delusionally compare myself to Dane, I can't compare myself to Mick. Dane is kind of like the best everyman surfer.
Mick is like kelly in that he is a machine programmed to shred.
That's why I like Taj, he is a little of both but he isn't a great board reviewer.

wtf?Dane is kind of like the best everyman surfer.
how edgy the big toothed Gudauskas is
Mick Fanning disagrees.Mick is a better surfer than Dane.

When looking at the boards, I'm not surprised. His surfing was ON on that board. I kind of expect it to be the weiner.New one is up and you might be surprised how won this episode
What were the final 3?When looking at the boards, I'm not surprised. His surfing was ON on that board. I kind of expect it to be the weiner.
As someone mentioned earlier, the fatal flaw with the format is that all the boards are different sizes.
And yet the final 3 boards? You'll notice a dramatic similarity.
