This was the real final. Both surfed incredibly well and were the real top 2 contenders. Great contest. Thanks WSL for more sensible scoring, based more on actual difficulty than old school style (maybe they've taken a que from street league skateboarding lately?). Also nice to see these contests at an unpredictable beach break, like a Hossegor or an Ocean Beach, SF. Much more entertaining than a monotonous point break.
9 para aquela onda de JJF foi uma nota acima da realidade. Medina fez uma manobra de altíssima dificuldade que foi realizada apenas uma ou duas vezes em baterias e deram nota 8,57. Critérios estranhos!
Teve juiz se coçando todo pra dar a virada pro JJF naquela última onda... ainda ganhou 9 pontos, uma nota surreal pra uma onda sem nenhuma manobra realmente boa.
It was really cool to see them embrace after that epic battle. Personally I think John has better style, way more fluent, but this was fucking historic.
John is the most talented surfer in the world and when he came to this heat, it was thinking "oh my good, its gonna be so much fun and an air show, so i m gonna throw everything at it" and Medina´s thought was "i have a strategy and i m here to win" so they both played their games and medina came as the winner. I admit, though i m brazilian, i was cheering for john because his style, surfing and his humility and stocked personality are amazing, and he was surfing better than anyone in the event, but i think this lost was cool because if it didnt happened the world title race would be boring, with john isolated like last year at the final events, so i think this result was good for both, making the title race interesting and giving medina some inspiration. ps: we all wanna see medina and john fighting for the world title in the next years, so medina needs to BE in the title race and fired up too. Plus medina is the best COMPETITOR in surfing today.
Olac, do you really think JJ had his mind set for surf in this way . Semi against Medina he knows will never be a walk in the park. It does t matter what condition and break happens. He knows Medina more than all others is the guy to beat and fear. Why whenever they face each other, JJ looks a bit more stiff on his board and make mistakes than usual. If you see,this is just numbers . One and one heats so far were 11 and Medina won 8.Whether you like or not is in his head. I see both way above the rest,what JJ has more than Gabe also goes the other way around and in the end they are at the same level. Kind KS and Andy
Dude, john is an absolute freak, but Medina´s strategy was way better. John was the standart of the event and Medina took this one in surfing better and solid, as well as John took it last year with that upside down drop in the barrel. These battles between both are going to be the most incredible of the new generation. I´m a HUGE fan of john´s surfing and lifestyle, but still an amazed fan of Medina´s competitiveness and surfing too, and this one was won by Medina´s frigity, the same way the last one was won by John´s unbelieable skill. We are about to see some matchups that are gonna shine forever in surfing history.
I thought Gabes surfing was stylish and flowing with beautiful carves and finishing , and that ridiculous air and the landing should have been an 11! in all my 45 years of watching surfing that was up there with JJF at Margaret s, Tom Carrolls pipeline snap and Kelly’s rotation at bells. I don’t think he was overscored at all and I’m an Australian so we never get overawed . Also JJF deserved that 9,0 definately fo4 th3 pressure he was under and to pull that wave off with such adrenaline and determination there is not many who could have done that.
Eu sou fã do JJF, acho que ele tem um dos estilos mais bonitos do surfe, mas eu sempre fico com a sensação de que suas notas são superiores àquelas que de fato mereceria. Isso tem feito diferença em baterias equilibradas como essa... Kelly Slater é um mito, não contesto isso, mas ele é outro surfista que tem no histórico ondas sobrevalorizadas, na minha opinião.
why wsl dont wait tuesday ? 1.50m waves saturday and 3.50m waves tuesday with more spectacle and a big pipeline . i dont understand why you prefere finish the competition saturday :(
Is this the 9.4? Hummm... I feel like it’s going to be under but I think it’s gonna be better than a 7... Even the commentator knew that was overscored buuuuuuuuut he is JJF lol.
Really really happy Medina took the W!! He was definitely deserving it :) JJF looked so nervous at the begging of the heat tho. Also, is it just me or John's waves were a bit overscored? That 9 really didn't feel like a 9 :S
yea the 9 was overscored for sure... so was medina's rodeo with the fluke landing... okay it took skill to pull that off but not a score of 8.57... overall sick heat to watch and jjf could of had it if he just landed some of those airs!!
This MEDINA 🇧🇷 and the other BRAZILIAN SURFERS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! HERE 2020 UK ISN T BRAZIL MUCH BIGGER COUNTRY THAN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 and the USA 🇺🇸 ( WITHOUT ALASKA??) FAN OF SURF 🏆🌊🌊
That 9.0 wasn’t overscored, what more could of anyone have done with those sections and wave? And the Air Rev on a lip already crumbling? Most guys would of Floated or done a turn. The first turn was powerful and the slap/speed turn after to be able to hit the last section, pretty perfect
Pessoal Medina pulverizou a bateria com o John John, só não vou pior porque os patrocinadores do John John (os juízes não deixaram) não dar 10 para o área do Medina foi simplesmente ridículo, a maior nota da bateria ser de John John, visto que o Medina arrebentou com um backside extremamente potente é ridículo, em resumo: mais uma vez os juízes tentaram prejudicar o Medina, mas seria impossível ele não vencer, ficaria muito evidente se Medina perdesse essa bateria a sacanagem dos juízes. Ps. Querem ganhar uma grana extra? seja consultor da La Harv veja como: laharv.com.br/loja/malcon entre na aba cadastra-se e venha ser feliz com a família La Harv.
Couldn't the WSL adopt an objective scoring system? For instance they could give a static scores for monouveres. Like an arial could be worth 5 points, a rotation could be worth 1 point and so on. You would just add up stunts committed on every wave and could to get an objective score that way. If the WSL scored in this way, the end result would not come down to the judges opinions but the type and number of monouvers pulled off in a heat.
Medina was more strategic than John John, while Medina squeezed the wave to the end realizing cutbacks and torn, John John tried to puncture realizing aerial ... we go brazilian storm
Medina é sinistro o MELHOR.... Ngm discute o grande talento e surf do JJFLORENCE admiramos o surf dele, mas o Havaiano é SEMPRE apadrinhado pelos juízes... Difícil missão do MEDINA ter que bater o adversário os padrinhos dele juízes os 2 títulos de JJJFLORENCE não são justos por mérito dentro dágua , só conseguiu por apadrinhamento .... MEDINA já teria que ter 4 títulos Queremos só o justo dentro d'água não política e ajudas externas ao JJFLORENCE ou a a nenhum BRASILEIRO....
Sou BR, e apesar de JJF ter errado em duas ondas, consigo reconhecer que ele foi melhor que o Medina, mesmo que ele tenha mandado um backflip. Não estou desmerecendo, o cara é bicampeão mundial, e quem sou eu para falar, mas , se observar as ondas do Gabriel, se resume em dar batidas e alguns cutbacks e, quando tem a chance, manda aéreos(que são ótimos por sinal), o ponto é: acho que ele deveria explorar dar mais rasgadas nas ondas. Observando, acho o JJF mais dinâmico, parece que ele gosta de sair da zona de conforto dele surfando e se arriscar como vimos. Enfim o JJF não tem medo de errar mesmo sendo profissional. Acho isso bem da hora.
3:56 Freak athleticism. Unbelievable.
Fresno
and just CAAAAAAARVES through it
hahaha
Sorry I didn't get that...what did he do?
just the way he says it is kinda funny. it was like his words were caaaaaaarving the language, much like how gabriel was caaaaaaarving the wave
😂😂🤣
He just repeat 10x 😂
These two kids do the best surfing I've seen in all conditions!!
One of the most entertaining heats I've ever watched! Thanks guys!!!
5:06 how did he not fall off! Amazing!
oi de mais
The lip pushed him up , no hard to see it
@@Smash_10 this isn’t Paul Killa is it?
Good wax 👌🏼
@@LaraTang he is the best in the history
Does he "Carve Thru it" ? Like to hear that one more time for confirmation.
Did Medina carve through it at a certain point?
Don’t think he did

Happy to see this comment, this is prolly one of the few unbiased comments in this comment section lol :)
hahaha are you kidding
A parte ruim de ver esses videos é o tanto de replay da mesma onda, podia ser 1 só.
9 para aquela onda de JJF foi uma nota acima da realidade. Medina fez uma manobra de altíssima dificuldade que foi realizada apenas uma ou duas vezes em baterias e deram nota 8,57. Critérios estranhos!
Coisas de Eros Achei Ridículo essa Nota do John John.
Coisas de Eros concordo plenamente
Coisas de Eros Vai começar a "teoria da conspiração", agora no surf.
Concordo em gênero, número e grau, queriam de qualquer jeito ele campeão
Coisas de Eros grau
Medina voando mto alto, parabéns pela a etapa da França
Teve juiz se coçando todo pra dar a virada pro JJF naquela última onda... ainda ganhou 9 pontos, uma nota surreal pra uma onda sem nenhuma manobra realmente boa.
Inacreditável os juízes darem 9 naquela última onda.
Cry more🤣

That heat was insane
A great battle. Such close scores and awesome surfing from two Legends!
Venceu a indústria do surf, está na hora de haver votação pública pela internet . Medina Você venceu!!!

Looks like the wave put him back on the board.. hahaha sweet mahn

markriobr yeah, medina is a crazy competitor and john knows that, so he tried to put everything at it and got a bit over excited and nervous.
Aí eu tive a agora a confiança em Gabriel,ele falou assim: glória a deus!!!😉🤗😏🙌🙏🙋
Two of the best surfers in the world. Insane heat.

Melhor Bateria de Sempre
Coração na mão!
Pipe me deixando louca, quem será o campeão? 17/12/17
Medina the best 🇧🇷🇧🇷
theres no more progressive and shows like this, judges are pruning surf too much
What did they score Jon on the last wave?
less than 7.40
Less than 5. Last Air incomplete.
I thought Gabes surfing was stylish and flowing with beautiful carves and finishing , and that ridiculous air and the landing should have been an 11! in all my 45 years of watching surfing that was up there with JJF at Margaret s, Tom Carrolls pipeline snap and Kelly’s rotation at bells.

Mike Arthur Gabriel Medina has terrible style no question he’s amazing but his style is trash
Dificil duelar com o Medina sem marcar ele,se voce ficar esperando ele errar ,ele vai la e inventa algo inesperado.
In this heat we could see who is better!! GoMedina
nunca foi...john john é muito melhor

hah. yeah, its just you. you have no eye for style and finess if you think medina deserved the win and john was overscored

Foi um massacre mas os juizes fizeram parecer uma bateria equilibrada no papel.
