It's deep and then it's shallow.
Fcukin ha!!!! Funny cuz it's tru
It's deep and then it's fatal. There, I fixed it for you.
But they are not amateurs. They know the costs.
Duh
Your . Nickname now is “short it bro”
Thanks for 1.5s of actually explaining what it was lol.
Medina has been surfing a really shallow shorebreak near his home beach since he was a kid (Pauba). It may not be as dangerous as Teahupoo, but it definetly is one of the most dangerous (if not the most dangerous) wave in Brazil - over 10ft heavy slabes hitting the shallow sand bottom with some of the best barrels in southreen Atlantic. On the other side, John Florence is born and raised at Pipeline, needless to say anything else. Two sides of the same coin if you ask me. I really want to see these two in epic conditions at the most beautiful wave in the world - Teahupoo. Good luck to the other athletes and let's hope for some good forecast.
Medina has certainly showed out so far, hasn't he?
good analysis, unfortunately for both of them it didnt take into account the guy who was born and raised surfing Teahupo'o
@@Xalexalexale I've been wanting to say it... Robinson outsurfed Medina on that heat... The way he blocked the heat reset + got the best wave (wich Medina was caught off position) was really good, thinking about tatics. He relied in luck, yes, plus the heat sucked with almost no good waves, but Robinson won the tatic game against Medina. Wich was funny too, cause he then went on the finals and losed in a similar (yet different) way as Medina lost to his. Vaast outsurfed Robinson on that final, clearly had the best tube riding and won fair and clear. The heat also sucked, wich is a shame, but that's surfing and it's always been like that.
The womens final felt different tho, taking more account into criterial aspects and also personal judge aspects. Personally I think Marks surfed better, yet the scoring was confusing and it led us to think that Webb deserved the win. Marks did catch more barrels in the final, only made a short one but she cleary had better waves... Also the criteria is tubes. I think Marks gonna get hard to beat when she gets her stalling technic right. She's got the guts. Webb was unlucky, but she clearly already have an amazing tube technic.
Fluid dynamics CAN be sexy!
Do Shipsterns next!
Very cool. Thanks for breaking it down for us! 🏄🏾♀️🏄🏾♀️🌺
1:17 guy gives me andy bernard vibes
My local beach break, I hit the bottom at least once every session at longer periods. Hurts like hell. I am always hugging my head to give a bit of protection. Strangely very few surfers are hitting the bottom at Teahupo.
Lived on Hatteras island NC my whole life and when i was about 14 i washed dishes at a restaurant and boss let me take off to eat dinner with Peter Mel Strider and a bunch of quicksilver reps. It was great got shirts and signed posters, lifetime memory
When I went there, I heard Teahupo'o meant the wall of skulls, scary stuff on some days
Toledos favorite spot on tour. 9s all day
Hah! Can’t wait to see Pip pull back on every wave
sad we didn't have this waves now
we needed those waves in the middle of the olympic games, a pity we didn't have them.
I like the events at the olympics. My first time seeing it. But its hard to understand the rules. Can someone explain please, because nothing detailed is to be found in the internet...
I saw yesterday a surfer going under the wave, coming out clean, do a trick here and there, but only scoring about 4 points, while another doing the same but without tricks at the end scored about 7 points. How that?
Is the length of the wave important, do tricks count, is there style points to escape the wave not falling or diving into the water at the end?
Thanks a lot in advance 🙂
P.S.: To me it seems the superstars (in my opinion: those crazy big wave surfers) are not at the olympics. How comes they are not there? They seem to be the best at your sport, while this small waves at the olympics look rather "easy" in comparison. Confused.
Wave size and length of the ride inside the tube are main factors in scores.
@@cato451 Thanks a lot FYI. It may helps me to find out if judges are good, or just being random. 🙂
Andy and Bruce were never scared.
kauai boyyz!!
It’s so amazing that more people don’t die there.
@@erickane7093 they do
@@erickane7093 people have and do die on that wave
Thank you Caitlin Simmers for not botching the name!
Hopefully John actually tries to win this time.
🤙💚🌴
The sport that challenges nature. You will lose if you don’t come with respect.

The surfing Olympic games are so selfish. They are going to destroy the reef and habitat
They are not going to destroy anything

Now let's keep the dumb jet-skis out of the water. Stop the cheating
They shouldve done olympics at nazar 😂
