    The real MVP for not playing music over the footage. Nice.

      I agree too. It's so nice to have no wind here on the coast and so still; you can hear the silence over the waves like in the footage.

    Bells is one of the only waves that can make some of these incredibly out of this world talented surfers look human. Extremely difficult wave to surf and definitely deserves its place on the world tour for that reason.

    • @nomadhabit

      it looks like it breaks really far from shore as well...I imagine it's quite hard to get out there ?!

  • @rualfhill

      @joaoluna6281 Před 5 lety +11

      I agree in part with you, but using the term "brazilian" to refer to a kind of surf you don't like it's not fair. This helps the stupid online surf community to spread the hate between Brazil, Hawaii, US, Australia, etc. And this is totally the opposite on what surf has been here for. JJF, Julian Wilson, Seth Moniz and many more are going above the lip for the sake of the innovation and progressive surfing. It would be so boring watching big arcs all day. Why not big arcs, aereo, tubes and more? 720 rotation will be the next big turn. This happened in the skate too. Try to spread the "online peace and good practice" instead. Tokio Olimpic games next year, and our surf will be there for the first time, be conscious! All the best ;)
