However, Dane didn’t get bucked early because of the midyear rotation. He simply chose not to surf events and failed to requalify. Would have been in the same boat had there been not midyear rotation last year.

3 to the beach was the standard back in the day and did not determine the best surfer in a heat. It was also pretty boring.

The top two wave scoring allows the surfers to show their full repertoire, even in the event of an inconsistent heat. – I used to hate the top three wave format back when I did NSSA’s – you could get a couple of really good waves – but the spaz that caught 10 waves won the heat.

I definitely agree with you on the air scoring. I saw some pretty big upsets this year because someone did a huge air and got a 9.5 or 10. Airs are cool and all – but they are becoming more repetitive and boring. I would much rather see Taylor Knox do a huge rail carve than Medina do another 360 air. Airs are a dime a dozen now.

ASP:

I am happy you did away with the midyear rotation, still bummed guys like Dane got bucked prematurely, however.

At least. Maybe four. Way more fair. And less emphasis on airs. Lots of heats are won because of one air while the other guy ripped it the whole heat, proving to be a much better, well-rounded surfer. Keep the airs in the skate park or have an entirely different circuit (air shows, etc.)to prove how long you’ve been practicing airs out of the water or with your dad’s jet ski. Not fair.

Would you stop messing about already.

My guess is 2/3 of the fans, however, really liked the rotation and the new blood it brought, as well as the excitement of many of the WT surfers also competing in Primes.

Oh well, won’t be the first or last time a small group gets to make decisions without considering the millions of surf fans and what they would like to see.

And im sure any great surfer out there would have no problem with a crowd watching them perform.The dream tour i wish it will become more of an amazing dream tour thanks.

They’re the surfers who are able to perform in a variety of conditions on demand and in front of a live audience.
