Geez mate that's like 24 hours ago,JJ smashed him in the first 10 minutes.
Parko is one guy I would like to see a title holder before he retires.
How can one trick be scored so high!? IMO I don't think an aerial move can be counted as almost a 10. Surely linking turns and moves and barrels equate to more than flying and landing! 
It was interesting watching the style everyone was surfing.
Its pretty evident that flippy floppy helicopter stuff will be more of the norm.
Even Josh Kerr is doing them.
It was the only downfall that joel had, I dont think he has them quite nailed yet to be able to use them in competition (Yes I have seen him do them in free surfing on the net)
Joel is a power surfer, big hacks and linked turns so I think the next couple rounds will suit him in fiji and tahiti.
BUT this JJ... he has all the moves, -airs and big wave tube ridding, and unfortunately I hate to say it, he WILL BE a world champion in the next few years.
We need julian wilson to start lifting his game for future world titles
Mike Fanning all the way!!!!
Events like Chopes, Pipe, The Eddie etc are worth watching live
This event is only ever worth watching the highlights, Billabong made a commercial decision to keep Brazil at the expense of J-Bay cause of the $$$ involved in sales to save their corporate ass
Have to agree JJF has a very good chance of being a World Champ, but geez, Parko & Taj deserve a world title before they retire...
