    In the pursuit of money, the WSL has catered to Brazil....they are over-represented on tour. As such, Brazilians feel entitled to win every event and world title and complain when they don't. Perhaps they just need to go start their own tour.

    I am not saying that misscoring did not happen, but if you look at the tour is dominated by Brazil, if there was a conspiracy to stop them they wouldnt even get through the QS.
    Plus at the end of the year the World Champ is probably going to be Brazilian anyway and the final five will have probably 3 of them, I dont know here people are seeing the corruption...

    @eduardomello9460 Год назад +6

    We are conscious of the subjective aspects that infuse judgments in professional surfing contests. While this subjectivity brings a certain dynamism and richness to the sport, it can also lead to disputes and disagreements. Thus, to provide a greater degree of objectivity, fairness, and most crucially, UNBIASED evaluations, it's crucial to strive for a greater degree of transparency, especially when judgments are questioned due to subjective interpretations.
    Promoting transparency isn't merely a goal, it's about implementing clear, definitive measures to elucidate the path of judgment, ensuring it is based on performance and not influenced by the surfer's nationality. By shedding light on these procedures, we foster a better understanding, trust, and appreciation within our surfing community.
    Furthermore, it's paramount that the W$L articulates a clear vision for the future of surfing. Will it be a nostalgic return to the aesthetic principles of the 80s, or are we charting a course towards pushing boundaries with groundbreaking maneuvers? Defining this vision will not only guide competitors but also stimulate the growth of the sport in the intended direction.
    Carl Sagan once said that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. In keeping with the spirit of Carl Sagan's principle, we need to ensure that our extraordinary claim of fairness and unbiased judgment in professional surfing is supported by extraordinary evidence of transparency and clarity. It's not just about safeguarding the integrity of the sport, but also about nurturing its future in a manner that harmoniously blends respect for tradition with a passion for innovation.

      "Italo’s 6.77 for a huge rotation going left (one of the best we’ve seen all year) was vastly underscored. You could not make that air more dynamic or land it cleaner. How far did he travel through the air? Ten feet? Fifteen? And he followed it with a seamless transition into a clean wrap that judges go weak at the knees for when Ewing does it. This scoring should be interrogated."
      "Ewing’s carving wraps are pretty, but they’re not risky enough. His 8.07 was scandalously over-scored [AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!]. The tweak he puts at the end of his top turn flatters to deceive. There’s a twitch in his bottom turn that seems to be ignored because of pleasing arm placement."

    Backside surfing has always been overscored. Some dude does the same turn 5 or 6 times its an 8 or 9 with 0 Variety While the guy tearing one up with lots of variety frontside gets maybe a 7 it's always been nonsense. The mid year cut breeds conflict and ruins the sport creating heightened anxiety and resentment among the surfers on tour. As well as sharing every event between two contests is a huge waste. You could have two great contests where most everyone gets the best window of waves but they split it between two full contests its dumb and adds to the above problems.

    From a neutral perspective, watching the WSL every event, I have noticed that if there is a Brazilian and another opponent competing in a heat together against each other. If there is a tough decision, the decision will always go to the Brazilian 9 times out of 10 and they will take a long time to come up with a score, and then they will make the score so close that the Brazilian just barely beat the other opponent, it would appear that the judging panel is biased with Brazilians in mind 🤷‍♂️ just an observation I went back and looked at a lot of past events just to make sure I wasn’t imagining it, but it is true

      As much as that may be true, it represents a switch from the judge's decades long prejudice for Australians.
      It is I think purely the fact that they are intimidated by the large contingent and pack mentality of each...and
      that's not excusing the bias. BUT...the one thing above everything else the judges MUST do, is STOP holding
      scores for so long. The appearance is, and I'm of the "it's bias" opinion, is that they're SLOTTING the scores:
      they won't score one ride until they can see the next and adjust accordingly. NO OTHER scoring sport

    While some sports are judged by a panel of judges, the judges themselves are obviously human and are subject to prejudice. That’s why the highest and lowest scores are thrown out. It still seems that Ausies have an edge in Australia, Brazilians in Brazil , Hawaiians in Hawaii etc. Like it or not subjective meets objective in every competition. All surfers on the pro tour have proven themselves to deserve to be there,,, any one of them are capable of winning their heat at any time. Sometimes the ocean doesn’t deliver when expected. Oh well. While I’m sometimes at odds with the judges I still enjoy the overall experience of watching the best in the world compete in real time all over the planet. I have to give WSL credit for their efforts to bring this to us in real time. That wasn’t possible not all that long ago. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth ,,, relax, enjoy catch a wave !!! Don’t sweat the petty 😀🤙,,, death threats!!?!?really!?!?! Obviously mental illness has entered the arena 😳

    History shows that Brazilians' have at numerous times been overscored to gain market share.
    If you want over 40's / 50's market share, then overscoring a single air over power, grace and flair isn't going to wash. Making death threats, well... maybe Brazil should be sanctioned until they can clean up their act. Remember that loser storming the tower... nice sportsmanship champ... where was he from?
    Maybe Brazil should have a breakaway tour... run by Brazilians', judged by Brazilians', for Brazilians' and paid for by Brazilians'.

    Whats with the wax intellectual comments these days. If youre gonna be smart about surfing, then acknowledge that its parameters for judging lack definition due to the nature of the sport. Its not like watching a football or basketball game and it never will be. On top of that, the ranch isnt even a wave compared to open ocean surfing as the water buoyancy is different and the movement of the water under the board is not like the ocean. Im not surprised at all that the judging for the ranch is exposing the long existing holes in judging. Nothing is new here except the fact that people think wave pools and open ocean surfing are the same. THEY ARE NOT and i will die on this hilltop.

    I totally understand how the most well known surfers (for good reason) keep the sport alive in media and money. But its what you do with the $ that is a problem; how you run the org.
    Saquarema crowd soccer hooliganism is lame and shouldn't be rationalized. That is not the spirit of surfing.
    Go woke go broke; says a lot. Also Medina's message isn't clear... is he pushing for more radical acro surfing? Seamless transitions sound good to me.
