What amazing me the most about Gabriel Medina in Pipeline is he is the only guy out there that doesn’t stay in Hawaii for training that wave, and how come he is so good at that!??? Gabriel Medina for me is another level in so many ways!!!
Apart from being on another level, I think surfing Maresias probably helps a bit. That place looks like heavy drops, fast barrels and really tricky positioning. Maybe if you know how to get barreled there, Pipe just suddenly seems easy haha
@@nottherealChickenJoe What I find crazy is that yeah, he is a freak and can surf anything, but the way he reads this wave and always knows where to position himself and so deep is mind-blowing for a guy who never surfs Pipe outside a contest. I remember a John interview in which he said that they had a heat and Gabe was always exactly where John wanted to be every single wave. Dude is insanely good.
I really think this year is going to be pure Gabriel Medina domination. He had some magic moments last year but I dont think he was even surfing at 70%. He could probably just win Pipe, Supertubos, Margarets, Brazil and Tahiti and backflip his way to another title at Trestles. I cant imagine anyone performing at that level...
The king of Pipe, the real one, I mean, he dominates that wave. He grew up going to Hawaii like every pro surf, he's not even a local. Would love to have seen a Medina X Andy Irons title heat for Pipe Master or World Champion there.
@@brunojustino5940 Cada um se limita ao seu gosto. Se um cara se tornar o primeiro campeão sul-americano, único tri campeão mundial sul-americano, melhor goofy do surfe e não é considerado lenda então vc tá sendo saudosista e tá preso ao oq o Andy Irons representou, não tenho problema nenhum com isso, só acho que em Pipe Medina, Kelly e Andy estão no mesmo patamar e gostaria de ver uma bateria entre GM x AI, pq a gente já viu oq GM fez com o Kelly e com o JJF...
Some may disagree him being the best goofy ever, which is fine. Now sure he is the best goofy in history surfing backdoor. All with not so much time surfing Pipe, most locals not saying the pros. Just don't have the courtesy to let him train allowing to surf 4 or 5 waves over the far reef. Still only 2 or 3 are near his level, a far near. Only JJ and a younger Kelly can match him, bet both have at least over 2.000 surfed waves. Medina the only surfer that can only train while competing
If you research Pauba's wave in Maresias, you will understand how this guy became a monster in Tubos. A super fast wave, completely shallow, super difficult to read and surf. The medina grew up there and simply dominates the wave
Só q pauna e fundo de areia. Pipe já é rocha. Gabi tem um talento nato, ele é um gênio, mesmo sem treinar muito na onda da muito trabalho. Ele é um dos melhores em tubos.
Indecente, nesta praia não dá para competir, é muito superior até mesmo aos locais. É onde Gabriel entra na água para fazer mais um capitulo de história na WSL, e no Havaí.
I will never consider Toledo a world champ. Medina is my favorite surfer. Making Trestles the last contest of the year is ok, but for everyone to compete in just like any other contest with the whole year's points counting. I hope to see Tahiti, Pipe, and cloudbreak perfect, huge, and clean the whole time this year.
This is clear pure hate, since showed all haters he can do it all and more. These poor shallow minded sketch of a person guys go dig in something lame to say. Claims, stance all nonsense, Colapinto, Jordy are high claimers and some more. Let them claim, am sure it wont change for more or less their notes, some think it does. Now saw some tens there for sure, stance go talk with S Thompson , T Carrol. Three of the best ever had on occasions spread their legs not to fall. Anyway if his front may look awkward only seconds is because big things are coming. His backside style compensate in a big way his overall style

Dude Google for maresias- SP surf. He comes from a beach with freaking barreling waves

Não compare lenda com Medina! Pensar em pipe master e lembrar de andy irons

What else do those stoned judges want to give him a 10?!
Medina Fantastic!
Superior athlete
Medina Is a Monster… no one can match him out there… expecially when it’s big and hollow

Incrível
The biggest goofy in history, he just doesn't have more world titles because he's not from San Cement...
The GOAT Goofy surfer riding to backdoor.
Me likey!
MEDINA E O UNICO QUE PODE TRAZER MEDALHAS DAS OLIMPIADAS 2024
Como você faz falta andy forever
Na minha humilde opinião, pelos vídeos que tenho visto, quem está se destacando nos treinos em Pipe é o JJ e o Italo.
@3:44 - that's an air!
Medina machina
Bring back the triple crown..

I came here for the comments. What's crazy is independent youtube creators have more traction.
Top 3 best of all time easy
insanity
🌊☀️👏🚀🇧🇷🏄
A etapa de Pipe deveria voltar a ser a última do circuito
9 club
The freak
Where is the highlights of toiletoo?
😂
A WSL 10 is a BDSO 8.2
The theatrical claims are out of control
psico
Such a bow legged wide stance, style obviously isn’t taken into consideration..
