nice barrel for Nikki's second wave , to take the heat !!! www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2015/wct/1315/target-maui-pro/heatanalyzer

That joint looks incredibly fun when it's small huh?

Yeah for sure, just never seen it small before. I thought it only worked on mega swells. Love this clip...

How good was that final? Wish I surfed like a girl
on another note, as I have thought all year-Carrissa rips but she is just about guaranteed a high 9 every time she paddles out!!!
sally underscored in the final Carrissa given a 10 for great barrel big turn and fell off, Sally barrel smaller but longer big turn and completes 9.2

I think that's pro surfing comps in general these days
Carissa is the world champ so that will generate a bit more awe and points just for paddling out.
Its becoming disposable viewing.
Watch for five minutes to see who's more popular, I mean winning then change the channel.
Thats taking nothing away from the surfers though
They quite obviously rip

The judges shouldn't be throwing out 10's for a wave where someone falls but I guess if you look at some of the other girls getting 8's and 9's for linking a heap of weak turns together then look at the power of Carissa's carves they don't have much room to move. I reckon sally's surfing is as critical if not more than CM's but she lacks the power to really smash it. Definitely one of the best heats I've seen this year though - men's included

Even the commentator was saying how much Nikki was on a tare
Coco's wave was was good but no barrels
Nikki got two on the one wave
I almost couldn't give a toss about Pipe coming up
Look out for the extra points from a big Brazo claim
