Gabriel Medina calls out WSL

I was just thinking the same thing. She's probably being nice, and doesn't want to smoke us with her talent.

We do have a photoshop thread Caroline, if you feel like sharing any of your work. The stuff posted on it is fairly simple, and intended for laughs.

 

wow this shyt happened last night,and 9 pages later nobody got the video.

he clearly said "if glen hall says fuk u to me again,im going to teach him some bad words in portugese."

that's all he said,he didn't say fuk u glenn hall, fuk u asp or whatever.

and I wouldn't even put this on the same level as bobby Martinez.bobbys an og,he beat andy beat Kelly won comps,won Tahiti,he was a somebody...was....

medina just clearly didn't understand the new rules,watching the video on mute u clearly see glen hall dropping in on Gabriel medina.i guess glenn had "wsl priority".id be pretty pissed too if I was the defending champ and had to surf little 2 footers that came in every 20 minutes to get burned out of a score and lose

 

slater burned parko of a potential 10 in the contest last year or the year before when it was Kelly vs parko in the final.parko threw up a middle finger.thats technically more insulting than medina saying "fuk".its really immature childness.they really made it less cool to be a surfer.that want to be in the same category as a-roid or jeter the cheater.not all the pros but a lot of them.slater is still king and jj is next to hold the throne.that is all

 

He understood the rules. The rule hasn't changed. It's the same as last year
He was trying to get Glen Hall to take off on that wave. If he didn't get that close to him he wouldn't have got the interference.

 

i know this is your opinion but lemme just say who the hell doesn't like to watch professional surfing? You might learn something ya kook

 

I didn't watch the contest I just saw the little clip.i know what it was tho,medina probably had the wave before,so it turned to halls priority,he didn't look like he was going to take it so medina did and glen dropped in which is pretty genius in a technical competitive way.

 

I think Barry Cuda is Roy

 

Yeah. Hall was sitting on Medina since he had priority. Medina was trying to get him to take off on that wave so he'd be out there by himself with priority... He was trying to pull out right away but ended up right under Hall.
They were both trying to use strategy. It just worked out for Hall and not Medina

 

they not going to give you me or anyone else a wave so who cares , like my kid says , I don't give a shiitttzzz about them they not going to give me one and I not giving away any either ,

 

Ever more to the point, Simon Anderson specifically dialed in the thruster design because he wanted a board that would allow him to surf powerfully in competitions. It was his pro surfing ambitions that motivated him to invent, and perfect the design. This was back in the day that guys like Simon Anderson and Mark Richards were both top level pros and cutting edge shapers.

 

Exactly...he got called for interference and then dropped the f-bomb in an interview. Who on earth cares about that?

 

So why did the judges give Medina the interference if they Zosea makes hem give him scores to win???
They decided they need to push pro surfing in Ireland now?

 

Has the possibility been considered that maybe good ole Gabby was suddenly overcome with the urge to dry hump...well wet hump..his opponent?

 

just a guess. They overestimated the negative reaction they got from engineering his championship last season and are now in reversal mode. they cant cut on his surfing (which is uninspired IMO) so they make him out to be a loose cannon.

 

See? Now you are starting to skirt the issue why surfing "profession is for morons!! hahahaha!!!
Forget sponsorships and contests--just go surf. A person can be a fantastic surfer without either. In fact, one is usually better than pros when you remain free of constraints (assuming, of course, that "better" fits an equal definition to all of us. Which it rarely does.)

 

have you ever surfed with a pro before? If so, there is no way you can honestly believe the statement you just made.

 

Refer to my statement about "definition"...ie...what makes a better surfer. Also, yes I have surfed with and watched pros....they are not much better than a lot of the people we all surf with. It is an illusion many have bought into.
My opinion differs, obviously. Nothing more than that.

 

Barry I think you are just being argumentative...regarding surfing with a pro...you ever surf with a WSL pro? You would seriously equate their abilities with some of your Norheast guys...?! Even around here the local pros/bros are good surfers but not nearly as precise, agile, capable of performance surfing compared to WSL guys (just to give you a definition baseline).

Further, I get it... you dont qualify surfing as a sport...dongboarder and short boarder both are great surfers if they're having fun right? Smh...performance surfing (even with a log--Tudor duct tape invitational) Finds its roots and modern expression From a form of professional (or maybe a better term for you would be vocational) surfing.

You've drank the wrong koolaid my man...
