I’m a surfer and my job is to call it how it is… yet I feel like unless I’m missing something no one really has yet! Brazil is completely fricking dominating the @wsl world tour with 5 out of the six event wins! @filipetoledo @italoferreira have been winning with some of the best performances we have ever seen in Surfing history. Surfing faster, cleaner and more radical then ever! @williancardoso went on a dream run through the Bali leg turning his dreams into a reality…. If any other surfing nation was dominating this hard the world would be all over it… Mad props to Brazil, congrats on an amazing run so far this year! #vaibrasil ??

WITH TAHITI AND PIPE, CAN FILIPE WIN A TITLE?

WHY HASN’T GABRIEL WON MORE THAN 1 TITLE?

His surfing is so fundamentally sound and, in fact, better than nearly all his competitors, and yet Gabriel has a hard time superseding our expectations for him. Is it strictly a psychological block that the viewer has, based on his highlight reels of yesteryear?

THE FACEBOOK ROLL-OUT

The WSL x Facebook hits multiple roadblocks with it’s roll out at JBay.

The stream gets interrupted, viewers are required to login through Facebook to view, and the Heat Analyzer is inactive.
