The highlights show surfers waves then what they scored on each...Originally Posted by Driftingalong
it doesnt show that surfer A had Surfer B comboed with like 10 minutes to go then Surfer B gets a bomb set wave scores an 8 then only needs like a 6 to beat Surfer A but surfer A is sitting in the lineup with priority so Surfer B has to take second choice waves, but finds a gem down the beach hits a huge air reverse then finds a litttle cover on the inside followed by a little fronstide air as the horn blows scores a 7.3 and beats the Surfer A. They dont show that.
And withteh commetators being pros for whatever company sponsors the event they get all stoked like we do seeing that stuff, the commetators are the guys surfing in the heats friends they know them so they have personal emaotions involved in most the heats its cool.
Watching Slater in a contest you see why he is the greatest. The guy seems to will himself a set wave to beat someone sometimes. I saw Owen Wright score an 8 to have him covered with 3 minutes left and Slater gets the only empty barrel of the heat gets spat out and did a patented Slater tail whiff hack then linked up a little floater on the insde for a 9.3 to win it. That kind of stuff is awesome. You can see what surfers once down cant come back, but the chapions are never out of it until the end.
