Patron saint of underdogs everywhere says, "Guys, really, what you are doing with Caio is very bad…"
Hell hath no fury like a world champion whose plans for an early end to the world title race were splattered against the wall of the judging tower two nights ago.
A quick recap from Longtom’s contest analysis.
With eight minutes remaining in a heat with Caio Ibelli in a heat where he’d spent the previous twenty-seven minutes ruthlessly rag-dolling his compatriot in weak two-foot closeouts.
Unbelievably, he contested a dribbly little righthander, bumping shoulders with Ibelli, who gesticulated wildly in protest. WSL screen live on the broadcast showed Ibelli priority. Medina pointed to the beach, as if to suggest he had P.
Live screen immediately priority switched to Medina, suggesting a mistake. Within a minute a decision was reached and Medina had a priority interference awarded against him, meaning the loss of his second scoring wave.
As a sign of Medina’s dominance the penalty was not immediately fatal, with his single wave score of an 8.17 still besting Ibelli’s top two rides combined.
Ibelli got the score. Medina out.
Gabriel wouldn’t let it go and leveraged his and soccer player buddy Neymar’s IG accounts, a total of 130 million souls, against Ibelli, who says he’s been hit with over ten thousand less-than-positive missives from bent outta shape Medina fans.
And, now, Jadson Andre, the patron saint of underdogs everywhere, has made a personal plea for the feud to end.
“Guys, really, what you are doing with Caio is very bad,” said Andre in a gorgeous piece to camera. “I love Medina but Caio is not at all to blame! And he, like Medina, is chasing after his dream! Both totally different. One wants to be world champion and the other is trying to stay on the circuit where he is left out, to change his life changes from water to wine. (Medina fans), I’m really ashamed of what you are doing with Caio.”
Fall in love, again, with Jadson, here.

How on earth is this Caio’s fault? He is guilty of paddling for a wave with priority from inside Medina? Whatever Medina thinks the priority status should have been, it’s nothing to do with Caio…
lol. “I lived there for years” = things a haole transplant would say. If you said “I was born and raised there” that may hold some weight in this discussion. You obviously didn’t live on the WS because you saying that the WS “has a COUPLE good breaks” invalidates your opinion right there. If you truly were from the WS, you’d be here saying “The WS sucks. There’s really only two good waves are they are soft and shitty. Not like the NS. Don’t waste your time.” Moving forward… saying you “lived on Oahu for years” is cool. Saying you know the Westside and its surfs breaks just because you lived on Oahu “for years” makes you a kook.
it’s critical of Gabe either way as this amount of vitriol towards Caio does not exist if 1) Gabe does not continue to cry on social media and 2) Gabe goes on insta and apologizes to Caio and pleads with his followers not to continue to attack Caio. He failed on both circumstances.
this whole shit show made it incredibly easy to separate Brazilian surfing and surfers from Medina
Surfed many spots on the westside as a complete Haole and never had one problem.
Medina knew full well what he was doing with his IG post. He was clearly provoking people to act like cunts and bombard the WSL, but even he probably never imagined his countrymen would turn their rage on Caio the way they did.
You might be overrating his basic logic skills.
Not at all. Slater has more class and 100 times more style than that chump.
hahahaha…….slater fucked his own friends…….medina doesn’t even have friends.
Neymar!!!
Brazilian shitstorm
You would think that if Elo was doing his job that the next installment of Sound Waves would be with Gabby Medina.
Including access to the closed door discussions after the infamous heat
you are not very smart. I clearly know Oahu or would not have made that comment.
I tried to tell you all. MEDINA is POISON. That creep is not fit to even be in the ocean. Too damn SELFISH and GREEDY.
All I know is Caio is not a judge.
Funny thing is the priority judge was Brazilian
Really ?
That’s good to know then
There had been some prior reports he was a Kiwi
I’d argue Adriano De Souza is the ultimate under dog. Talk about no respect. The jury is out in that new grill too.
We are witnessing the Brazilian equivalent of the American Momentum Generation.. in 10 years there will be a doco and they will all confess how much they actually hated one another.. Medina in Slater obviously.. too lazy to think about the other players, but you get the idea.. I knew the facade would splinter soon enough. This could be the begging of the end for the Brazilian storm.
The Brazilian partly cloudy and mild with a chance of drizzle in the PM?
ha!
sua máscara usa o livro da batata, onde os mapas mostram os pés em uma pintura de burro, obrigado a expandir a espuma do café!
hahahahahaha
Cracking here
Hahahahahaha
Can’t wait to watch the upcoming WSLFilms release documenting the “Brazilian Storm”.
Will this also be in the doc?
Prolly not.
Well, I guess GMed is the tour’s bad guy after all.
I’ve just re-watched the incident and also the post show talk about the incident.
It’s quite obvious that Medina ‘should’ have been given priority from the split screen and wide view.
So it’s surely a fault of the priority judges for not changing priority to Medina at the appropriate time.
And in that case the heat should be awarded to Medina as it was quite obvious he was the better surfer on the day
well…..it is all clear now! thanks for the update……
Happy to be of help..
Your flakjak joke is genuinely hilarious
Can I get a hit?
Hits from the bongbong….
As long as ya lungs aren’t too big (or bring some beer n pizza haha)
did you just offer to suck this dude off?
i hate myself.
