Hold your disappointment till LA 2028.
Some absolutely sick waves today.
The waves were better than forecasted for the whole event. Yes it wasn’t 10 ft death Chopes but most of the time it isn’t.
” anti-climax?”,
this is the pinnacle of competition surfing!
if yo take the 2 minutes of actual wave riding on the 3:waves out of the 45 minute final I have jack ahead on points.
He Bob up and down consistently and in perfect upright pose.
unlike voost who bob up and down with a slight stoop and at times showed the boredom was getting to him and paddle backwards and forwards.
Pro surfing was the winner today!
Have to wear those naff trackies and shoes. Lol.
Medina on podium SO pissed. Best surfer in the world
Hes cool.
he was interviewed by aussie muppet after 3rd – spoke really well and he seemed stoked with bronze. alluded to just unlucky in ocean conditions – he was pretty humble
Ain’t getting out my easy chair
Thought yer man in the hat was Nick Gobbo Carroll
Gabe looks like a God!!
Jeez, at least sweep the beach locals.
Conch broke
Blew it
Time to watch trap and skeet shooting
We still have 6 days until the closing ceremony? Why couldn’t they run tomorrow?
Yeah idk, I guess making travel arrangements, traveling, and getting settled accounts for at least 2-4 days, but there’s still some wiggle room
Oh they’re sending all the surfers to Paris now?
Yeah I read that the IOC wants the surfers to participate/be on hand for the closing ceremony since they couldn’t be on hand for the opening
Deserved
The 3 brazilian judges robbed the brazilian!
Swap this shitt out for BJJ.
Jack just commented almost lost his leg prior to event!!!
Wtf
just the usual fuckin bullshit they go on here in oz when we dont live up to hype that media put on em – but said his Achilles almost severed
I might have to use that for work tomorrow
Shark attack?
Buys seriously, wtf
Turps so happy rn he gets to describe what chairing up the beach means
Pretty incompetent final tbh.
Caz got a brief tube and fell on a wave a rec surfer would make.
Just made 10 points.
Fuck I came close to coming up big with a Vaast/Tati multi. luck I chucked a Caro/vaast on at the last minute, or I’d be a sad fuckhead.
