Style is subjective, but I think Dane Reynolds combines style with rad maneuvers brilliantly.
Too bad he’s fallen through the cracks.

1st time??? Brazilians are ripping for long years ago…haven’t you heard about Flavio Padaratz, Fabio Gouveia, Vitor Ribas, 6th in the rank Adriano de Souza, big wave heroe Carlos Burle, and the winner of Billabong “wave of the year” Danilo Couto?

Hey Matt…
Medina was already seen in damm heavy hollow tubes,..he will surprise everyone if Supertubos pumps and by the forecast it will……He also told that he is hungry for Supertubos well overhead and barreling, is the kind of waves he likes by the way..

Wait and see.. PS: check for incredible aerials after he comes out of the tube…

Shame about style I agree – Parko would win hands down and most of the boys with flapping waving robot arms would finish down the bottom.

No doubt, Medina rips… He has the cutting-edge, technical tricks down perfectly, but man… I guess style doesn’t count towards a high score anymore, huh?

I had trouble all event on low quality settings. Same happen on the new York comp. Hurley and billabong seemed fine. It would of been good to see it on TV.

Still I had fun on the replays as what great surfing with the new school tricks.

I loved potters comment on Julian should of ran over medina. We know Pottzs would of cut he’s board in half

Nice work Quiksilver!!!! This is the first Webcast I’ve seen where you can get “all you want” of the contest without leaving home…. I am sure that if there are any bugs in the system, they will be worked out soon….. Having the great Martin Potter and the lovely Rosie commentating helped make the experience thoroughly enjoyable……. the next best thing to being there but without the dent in the wallet or the sunburn…. I got stuck in front of the screen, loving it, for the last couple days…… Thanx again & hope this is the new bar for ASP coverage…..
