Pro surfing is stupid. If Bruce was surfing in Billabong's AI reputation sucking, money grabbing, surfing extravaganza whore out, this would be worth watching. ^truth. Respect the game, d!cklips
I wouldn't doubt it. JJF's best wave is better than Medina's best wave but Medina is a contest freak...kinda like Fanning. Never the best surfer on tour but the best heat surfer on tour. Kelly, Curren and maybe MR and AI are the only to have both. JJF will have to step up his consistancy in less than inspiring waves
JJF is approaching the point of being the hyped guy who never quite lived up to his potential. Yah, yah, I know he's young. So what. If people are going to continue to trot him out as the next-big-thing, whether at his 'home' break at Pipe or elsewhere, he needs to start justifying all the hype & backing. Not anti-JJF in any way, I really respect & enjoy his surfing. It's just the way it is in any pro game: put up or dial it down & become one of those strivers.
