    I swear no one is going to consistently beat Gabby until they put a little bit more thickness and volume in their boards, dude just handles a hefty board, breezes over flat sections and gets so much drive from nowhere, but handles it like it's tiny. no one else does it as good

      Ítalo rides quite a lot of volume too, doesn't look like because he has 10kg less than Gabe. Pipo also has bumped 1lt on his boards compared to his early days.
      To be honest I appreciate pros with more volume, but sometimes Medina's boards look too wide. It's not so much the volume but the width that makes his boards sometimes not kniving the rails like some of the other boards like JS

      idk if u rly want or care for an explination but heres what I understand as the new format: its very similair to the old one it's just that the champion is determined at the final comp this year, so in theory you could win every event leading up to the final and still not be the champion. Surfers get points based on placement like any other year but then the top 5 at the end of all the events qualify for the last one and the winner of that event wins it all

    Kelly’s power and progressive / technical flair doesn’t stack up to today’s hottest stars, but that’s the nature of PROGRESSIVE shortboarding. Newer generations of athletes and prodigies always keep pushing the envelope on what is possible.
    BUT Kelly’s overall flow with all his power and still impressive arsenal of moves and when to perfectly use them on different parts of the waves to make his runs seem effortless and yet fast are masterclass and still timeless.
    It’s what what makes him and has made him a standout surfer for 4-5 generations and counting. Him and Tom Curren and Andy Irons have that same sort swagger and style in the water. They just have a lot more going on the wave and in between their maneuvers, that extend beyond just getting the best judges’ scores. They just come off a lot less mechanical and maneuver-oriented than their peers.
    It’s like they never forget the whole point of truly surfing and flowing with the wave, and that comes first before moves.

    What this video shows me is that style is so, so, so undervalued in today's WCT scoring criteria. With the WSL dealing with shorter attention spans and trying to attract new viewers who know very little about what truly good surfing looks like, the single big maneuvers are often over rewarded despite how poorly linked together or set up they are. Conor, Kelly, and even Mick are like a breath of fresh air, even though it's technically "old air".

      Lowers is pretty much just a real life wave pool. Most days half the lineup is groms 6 years old to 12 year old. They shouldve left the final stop at Pipeline.

    Kelly still clearly the best surfer when he forgets about trying to do airs like the surf skaters. He out surfs the wave clearly! He should just stick to surfing perfect and forget the airs. Airs are overrated. Surfing is about the art of staying on the wave beautifully. Not many have that. Lopez, Tom, Kelly, Rob, John John...truly that’s about it. Less is more. Be like water.

    My quick assessment. Mick = having fun, but still wants to show why he is 3x world champ. Connor = ripping the bombs, and wants this win. Medina = a little off, but still being the freak that he is. Italo = poo stance spin it to win it. Kelly = G.O.A.T. Yadins kid = world champ 2035 taking the crown from future 2x world champ Jackson Dorian.
