1991 my young son 15 won a coca cola trip SURF THE PLANET ..with Barton Lynch 2 people from each Australian state went on this trip around the planet 31 days ..i went with my son ..it was a trip of a lifetime ....
Agreed. Would rather watch Gerlach surf over Todd Holland any day, but Todd clearly won. Top 4, top 2 waves, whatever, he won.. and the floater was underscored. Gerr on Xanadu’s..good combo.
I am getting back into the sport after a 20 year absence. This is what originally got me into the sport. I’m watching the likes of Jaime O’brien, KOA Rothman, Nate Florence and a few others. It makes me wonder what Gelach could do in this day and age. He is a star no matter what but he could have made great living and really enjoyed surfing the waves he wanted.
I gotta say I enjoy the enjoy the commentary much better in this era. Plus Pam Burrige has a surf school on the south coast of NSW. From Ulladulla down. I lived in Ulladulla for a few years and had a few lessons. She was my surf idol for a long time. She is such a lovely person. And I can highly recommend a her as a surfing instructor if your ever down that way.

I watched this final as a 15 yo grom. Anyway, I really think TH surfed better... more vert and less snappy than BG

Hard to believe that Gerlach walked away a year later at the age of 26.
He got caught up in the scene. It can happen to the best
Jacob smith he wanted to surf big waves not grovel in 2 foot slop
