If only JJF could have finished one of his two first waves. He is on another level at the moment with those turns of his. So much power.

Edit - ADS did not even get a cheer when he lifted the trophy - I know its not a personality contest but jeepers !

That was a long long comp with some insane waves.

Seems like ADS was a gracious winner who acknowledges JJF is the "best in the world"... Some laughs in the comments on Stab:

For example: random penguin fan • 3 hours ago

spent the final jizzing my pants to every JJF carve and pulling my hair out spitting and screaming at my mums macbook NO ADZ to every adriano de pooza piss weak wide stance safety turn. Was so clear who the better surfer was to everyone in the world, even de pooza. JJF is the bomb at comps cos he just doesnt go at 70%. N if he did i think everyones soul would die a little bit. Props to de pooza for his heat game tho and for landing intermediate end section turns which is pretty much what won it for him. Indeed.

As the pros start to make their way to Rio,I've heard the Deus single fin comp is not getting a run this year?

do you know why? I love that comp and wanted to go and watch it with ted

No idea but the Greg and Joel booked so they would be there for the comp

Did they have a comp for shorter singles? The Log Fest is still a goer, by the looks, but I guess you are referring to something else? Deus Bali updated their FB cover pic to this earlier today:

must be just the shortboard one then?

More concerns for water clarity in Rio

This year alone, INEA tested the water in the area 29 times – and in 21 of those measurements the results came back negative. The last analysis, on April 27th, deemed the water inappropriate for swimmingT/surfing.

^^ not even as good as the local...

Hard to even watch a whole heat. Highlights are good though.

Good to see RC make another heat. Given his opponent in the 3rd round is ADS it's hard to believe he he will have too many supporters on the beach

Where did they get the jetski drivers from.
A bit different in skill Level to the Hawaiian water patrol it seems.

What's amazing is the commentators practically laughing about it. The ski driver is looking over his right shoulder looking for Joel not realising he has gone over the other side. Lucky that was not a very serious accident. JP should have been holding on - it almost looks like he was getting ready to bail and then got bailed. Can not believe they are not paddling out in that anyway before the 3rd round.

Surely there is at least one wave better than the **** heap they are surfing...close out anyone

i agree....there has to be somewhere better surely

well if KS loses to MB then RC must have a chance over ADS then. Bring on some luck for the Kiwi boy
