    Let's get Mick back on tour. He is so fast, clean, and sharp. Looks like he hasn't missed a beat. Good to see Ewing out there. All of the guys look amazing. It's going to be a tight WSL finals. The ladies look great as well.

    Love that you started the video off with Mick Fanning. Such a class act and missed on the tour. I can't believe Ewing is even surfing. Good for him but I hope he doesn't injure himself more.

    • @OldSurfDad
      @OldSurfDad  Рік тому

      Ethan looks good, but I was concerned about re-injury as well. When I watched him surf and when he was on the beach, he seemed pain free the entire time.

      I can see Grif giving him a run because of how in tuned he is with Trestles. The both surf Trestles regularly. It should be fun to watch.

    • @OldSurfDad
      @OldSurfDad  Рік тому

      I think you're right that he can go into a next gear from this warm up session. I missed one of his better waves on Tuesday and it was an absolute banger. Filipe will be hard to beat. He is just too good, too fast, his turns too strong here...but let's not just give him the trophy yet. Crazy things can happen (and I don't mean bad judging). Each of the Top 5 has weapons as well. Can't wait to watch this go down..

    Griffin (and Crosby) looked the best. Ewing still looks injured. Chianca looks choppy and his style actually a bit different (for the worse). I like Jack Robinson, but he too looked he was going half speed. If it is based solely on this video, I go with Griffin and Jack, recognizing Toledo will likely win it all. On the other side, Simmers rips. If the waves are good, she is going to be a tough out.

      This is spot on...The speed that the Top 5 surfs with is hard to comprehend until you compare them to the average surfer or where others are making their turns.

    Fanning, Robinson, Griff, Simmers, and Toledo all looked really fluid and stylish. Ewing, and Jaoa did not look to me like they had good style. I love fluid carves, floaters and good looking style not quick jerky top turns with blow tails and flailing arms.
    I hope the WSL does away with the current finals format and dumps the Surf Ranch stop.
