So I'm okay that a Brazilian won the surfing world title but ...
Quote | Reply
...could it have been anyone else? Medina is very disliked outside of the Brazilian surfing community and needs to grow up a lot if he is to be an ambassador for the sport. No one I have spoken to wanted him to win (and I talk to a lot of folks in the surfing community, both at high levels within the competition world and with locals in many locations). Plus he put me in the very embarrassing position of cheering for Mick Fanning, which was like cheering for the Raiders. There are other talented surfers from Brazil, and I don't think anyone cares that the champ is from Brazil but why did it have to be this drop-in kook. Get ready for a long year in the surfing world.

Live long and surf!

He gave a great interview after being chaired and then going back out and winning his heat. Humble and spoke well in a second language.

Ha good one Duffy.

But we are indeed a very subjective sport.


Q: How many surfers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Twenty, one to screw it in and nineteen to claim they could have done it better.

Personally, I think JJF should be champ right now.

He will be next year (just needs to work on his claims).

Mostly, though, I wish the ASP and pro surfing would just go away.

Being a non surfer this thread is a let down without pictures of hot female Brazilian surf fans.
