Funny: Kolohe Andino having a NO from an aussie kid in his high five attempt: well, i like Kolohe, but it must hurt a lot in his sponsor eyes as their 2 million dolars/year surfing athlete doesn´t get to be an idol to the young kids. Sorry, Brother, but it was too fun see the kid dodging you, so i had to put here as a fun fact.
Not funny: Jeremy Flores, the injusticed: was nothing but lack of character the Jeremy Flores attempt to guilt Adriano de Sousa in their interference affair. Here´s two screenshots: one from the wave in question, where you can see Jeremy surfing and clearly Flores could see Adriano paddling from 15 feet away. So YES, it was Flores who should have avoided the situation (don´t forget priority was with Adriano). So shame on you, Jeremy!
Mr. Flores, what a shame
And in the second screenshot, just to show the point, is Jeremy having a fight on the water in Australia during a recent ASP competition.
Jeremy, the good boy
A lesson: Joel Parko in cruising mode, having fun... and then having a shocker: In the final, until Medina´s 8,5 score (5 minutes to the end), Parko was in cruising mode. He was taking his waves, connecting to the inside, having fun and putting a show to his local crowd. In 3 waves, he jumped off in the end smiling to the crowd and to the jet ski driver. Just as he did in his semi final against Adriano de Sousa. Just watch the heat analyzer, you´ll see.
What happened? He got absolutely tired. When Medina got his two scores, few minutes before the heat´s end, Joel yet had a last opportunity, but ended up falling in the last turn. No more legs to burn.
And that´s why Gabriel Medina won the final. And some nice screenshots:
Parko having a good time!!!!!
Humble Medina changing things
Things changed: desperate housewife. "Oh, no, Joel... second again?????"
