      Even though Slater had some sick barrel rides he just didn't catch enough waves to show the judges enough solid turns and carves. Kanoa was more consistent and caught more good rides and shredded more open face. I think Igarashi legitimately beat Slater but if those barrels rides were scored differently it could have gone the other way which I wouldn't agree with because Igarashi was more consistent throughout the whole heat.

    Kanoa did a great job, I like how he did a careful approach, he’s precise in his moves he knows his wave and rather than being impulsive he’s more of a consistent type. He’s not as flashy as other top surfer but he does deserve the title and the hype and i really hope to see more of him in the future!

  • @dudleyserious1
    @dudleyserious1 Před 5 lety +42

    Kanoa was great in the final. Flores only had the one excellent wave. My overall complaint of the contest is they underscored barrels in general. Barrel riding is (and always will be) the most exciting part of surfing.

    Flores'8.93 is by far the best wave of the heat. Those two turns are sick ! In what world Kanoa wins that final ??? Judges ask for critical turns but they give him a 9+ for a couple of floaters...

    Flores made the same mistake as slater did, if he wasn’t sitting so deep waiting for those barrels that never were, a couple of Flores waves that he paddle into were begging for some big first turns. Too deep and wrong place wrong time.

And compare the differences to Kelly’s and Flores battle. All they had to do was change their tactics tho rail surfing.

    Kanoa's surfing was quite safe. Essentially his board and fins did a lot of the work I believe, however Jeremy's surfing was extremely radical and always positioned at the most sucky part of the wave making each manoeuvre extremely difficult to pull off. It was close, however Jeremy was the rightful better surfer in those conditions on that day..and should have taken away that trophy.

    Flores (like Slater) were robbed big time so a Japanese could win an Asian contest with the Tokyo Olympics on the horizon. Most veteran surfers like Slater and Flores were surfing for Sunny but WSL judges stopped most people's dream. It was so mesmerizing to watch them powersurf and gettin barrelled like they were posessed by Sunny's fighting spirit. Slater vs Flores should have been the final but judges screwed up pro surfers legacies again and again.
