I like that, Jon’s like I’m tired of this sh, t I’m gonna mangle this wave

[wthomas]

I'm impressed with the judging. It really does seem to be pretty objective. That second wave of John's was definitely way better than anything else in the heat. It's a trip to see him pull something like that off under pressure.

[JMHSD]

We just need to appreciate JJF on the WSL Tour because you know he's a new dad, and Nathan's Slab Tour is calling and I wouldn't blame him for going and surfing the world with his brothers.

I feel like Bryan was a bit underscored his 6.83 should’ve been at least a 7 John got a 4.83 for one air and Bryan got a sick bomb with variation and same with his backup wave a bit underscored imo

[deanjericevic]

Wow, very close as the final results by the judge’s bear testimonial; riveting for the spectator! A pleasure to watch; flawless surfing by both John John & Bryan!

[yvesbraga]

First wave of Perez was underscored asf

[vickryan]

JJF says "it worked out." Dang that was a sick heat. Very close, nail biter, and I'm glad to have seen this heat and i feel honored because these 2 rippers poured their guts out, tearing it up, shredding. Fun times. (in el Salvador!)

[bdogdog]

Johns title to loose this year, can’t be beat with that form

[lucasgaudioso]

Surfou muito sim, mas é incrível como alguns surfistas tem notas altas e passam e outros não tem a nota merecida surfando muito e alto nível este é o meu ponto de vista.

[b.g.tercero]

Perez was robbed... was not rewarded at all for catching the biggest wave of the heat by far, and ripping it powerfully and in control. He never went for a spectacular high risk turn but he wasn't holding too much back either. That's gotta be a 7+. And John's should not have been 9+ because the wave was small. Yes he surfed it perfectly, but you could say he didn't go for a super high risk spectacular turn/air either, just those insanely perfect powerful turns. 9.0 max.

This is not hating on JJF. He's obviously head and shoulders above Perez in surfing ability. But back in my day, wave size and wave selection counted.

[sharkymcsharkface]

Amazing surfing in average conditions by both surfers.
Good commentary! as well as the interviewer 👍

[locksmithdb]

I love it when John leaves no doubt in the judges minds that he is AMAZING.

[IOSALive]

World Surf League, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!

[Leven]

wasnt that 8.93 a little to high as a score? it was clearly better than both perez wave, but 8.93 i dont know... i'am just checking if some people agree with me

[NycStofmynd]

No comparison to johns variety and power/commitment . Love the local boy putting up a competitive heat though!

[IOSALive]

World Surf League, awesome content dude

[manifest]

JJF’s second wave had better quality turns condensed throughout with no down time searching down the line

[jbond]

Go JJF! So great to see him back in super form.

[michaeldamant]

Perez was underscored on all his waves!

[paulsmith]

I was hoping Bryan perez was gonna win the event, but John Johns surfing was incredible and deserved the win and the title this year. Predictions are he wins the world championship and calls it a day and retires.
