Best Of Gabriel Medina At Teahupo’o, Tahiti

The best of Gabriel Medina competing at one of the world's most critical waves, Teahupo'o!

One of Brazil’s most promising groms in the early 00s, Gabriel Medina began his meteoric rise to the top as barely a teenager. In the final of the 2009 Quiksilver Pro King of the Groms against Caio Ibelli, Gabe dropped two tens and a perfect heat total to win the event and make a very big statement to the generation of supergroms assembled at the event, like Jack Robinson, Kanoa Igarashi, and others.

While Gabe was always going to be a technical genius in small waves, his fearlessness and precision at some of the tour’s heaviest waves like Teahupoo or Pipeline is the result of relentless work to get better, stronger, and more comfortable in waves of consequence.

Gabe won the Tahiti Pro in 2014 for the first time against the winningest surfer ever at Teahupo’o, Kelly Slater. The then twenty-one-year-old established himself with the performance as one of his generation’s most gifted all conditions surfers, and smoothly paved the way to his first World Title that year.

The three-time WSL World Champion has been a perennially consistent standout at Teahupoo ever since, winning the event again in 2018, and making four runner-up finishes in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2023.

Imagine being a surfer that can have a 7 minutes highlight reel in Teahupoo and still have people criticising his surfing...

Medina was born to surf. It's his passion, his life. Dude has an unique style, it seens he's dancing with the waves.He made the sea, his home.

After robbing and underscoring Medina for years.. finally with the hype he deserved a highlight video and recognition.. he should be 5/6 times WC and Olympic medalist by now if it was not for judges and WSL.

Agora a WSL quer o hype do cara nas olimpíadas, mas fica o ano todo segurando nota e garfando o cara em todos os eventos e mares possíveis. Assim realmente é fácil dizer que promove o surf

[saliseduardo]

I follow him since 2014, he never disappoints his fans!
I can’t understand why his ride it was 9.90 not 10’
I can to watch this all Day!

I saw JFF and Jack having a really hard time finding waves at the Olympics. And for Medina, he was smiling from side to side. He wasn't born in Pipe or Australia, the guy has a natural talent for seeing the sea, which no one else has. There is no one at his level in this type of sea

[nilomaia]

Medina got just one problem: that judge...

Always the lowest score. Same guy even in the Olimpics.

[otavioborges]

The king of chopes, hossegor and pipe.
Considering the dude didn't born at Haw with all facilities it's really impressive.
Pure talent and passion for the sport. He really enjoy the moments despite of WSL brotherhood.

[SUPera-mlbb]

O mais injustiçado, tendo a wsl tirado 2 títulos mundiais dele...

[saliseduardo]

Medina risk his life going deep in that Barrel 🌊 that requires a lot knowledge or that waves could brake all his bones 🦴
He doesn’t deserves a gold medal 🥇
He deserves a gold crown 👑 ✨👆🏄‍♂️

[Christ_Our_Life]

Hope WSL will start running events like Olympics! No extra drama, fluff or annoyance just 100% surfing with good commentary. Like the pauses during commentary to just watch the surfing in peace.
