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.
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 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.
Is mick in the final 5? Haha. He looked better than Ethan, Jack and Joao. And the title is between griffin and Filipe if wave catching doesn’t become a factor.
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.
I could say the same thing replacing with Gabriel Medina. He would be in the final 5 if wasn't robbed on the pool, but either way, Toledo will take it,if he isn't robbed as well.
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.

Mick is bringing the classy beautiful sweeping turns..
On warm up form fanning has it in the bag
Filipe was looking sharp as, he’s not my preferred winner but i think its going to be hard to take this from him
Thankyou very much for posting this footage, everyone’s surfing amazing 🤙🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for watching!
3:17 dude that spray took up the whole screen 🥵
I could watch this all day. Beautiful swell and everyone is ripping. Congrats to all of the finalists and best of luck!

Fanning is a wildcard
Jacks got a 5hp Honda on the back this sess
Damn I wonder who that was dropping in on the goat 20:18
yeah, never do GOAT like that! Not cool! haha
Fuck how good does mick look 🤙🏻
SHREDDING 🔥
Thanks for watching!
Mick looking like he could still be out there!
Mick was sharp as a razor out there. Right on level with the best.
8:00 that's how Jacko rolls over your head; paddle a lil more to the right...lol
Jack had total control, but it would still be scary looking up at that!
I love how Jack Rob pretends like no one else is in the water 😅
Yeah he’s in total surf meditation mode
@1:22 33 people, would you be the 34th or ?
My turn, my turn, my turn!!! Hahaha
Griff looking great…
That first ride looked like Mick
Yep!
They all look amazing but Felipe was still only cruising. I cant see the others matching his aggression or consistency
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.

Hwy are there moving rocks on the water?
Moving rocks? Do you mean the stones that line the shorline?
@@tzt1182 No. The people :P
We all need more Mick.
Facts!
Who was the guy with the white patches on the shoulders of his wetsuit? That guy can rip! (and got way more than his share of waves :) )
Someone told me it was Wesley Santos. Dude was flying around doing warp speed and ripping. This is only a few of his rides.
Who was the natural footers at the start? Who ever it is they were dead set ripping
Their faces are posted in the bottom left corner as they surf brother. Retired Mick Fanning is first then Ethan Ewing....
@@docrock5887 thanks man, I don't know how missed it.
Good question. So many incredible surfers at Trestles.
Geez. Mick!!
Mick was the best surfer.
Oops, didn't see the bottom left corner. FANNO!!!!!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how graciously Fanning retired from the WSL 👏
This is my favorite comment. Mick is a class act.
Mick coaching Ethan no doubt
I wondered about this actually...but they have different sponsors..hmmmm🤔 When I was there, they were always surfing together tho
Mick still on point they need to put a master's heat in the mix out of respect
Kelly vs. Mick would be fun.
Let’s hope the conditions for the final will be as good as the first section of this video.
Exactly !
Mick Fanning still the best guy... smooth, stylish, powerful--flows from move to move seamlessly...more please
More Mick is always good.
Ethan Ewing's pic on here looks like the weasel from Screaching Weasel 's album cover! Lol Look it up!
This is hilarious!
Lowers is the exact opposite of the wedge
10:42 😂😂😂😂
That was an indicator of what it was like out there...
Not too many people in the Lineup, Looks Chill. 🤣
The crowd factor was Labor day Holiday INTENSES! Haha
Front tails rock........ this guy Ethan came outta knowhere too....... TC style damm......
Difícil será ganhar do Toledo!!!! 💚💛
Concordo com você
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.
Good take. Let's see what the judges think! ha
8:58 Caity smokes that guy 😮 I get it… but hope she apologized
you never know tho...Did he paddle around her or was it her turn? We will never know, but positioning in that crowd would have been difficult. haha
Is mick in the final 5? Haha. He looked better than Ethan, Jack and Joao. And the title is between griffin and Filipe if wave catching doesn’t become a factor.
It's crazy how much ground they can cover. 99.9% of people are getting caught behind.
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.
Finals aren't worth watching unless our Olympian John John is in it .
I could say the same thing replacing with Gabriel Medina. He would be in the final 5 if wasn't robbed on the pool, but either way, Toledo will take it,if he isn't robbed as well.
"There's no way John John and Gabriel aren't in the Finals..." I think that was my quote at the start of the year..Lol
👍
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.
1:55 could of been you.
Those outside sets were mostly unridden. Mick got a few of them tho...
Crosby rips
Love his wave choice and high speed runs.
Pretty shit to see them drop in on someone, look at them and ride the wave like its their's.
It's a shit show for sure, a positioning nightmare, but remember sometimes the burns are due to someone taking and extra turn or paddling around.
Easy pick. Felipe.
On paper, absolutely, but let's see what happens.
Lots of snakes and bulldozers running people over down there. Lol… Simmers just looked out of place…🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Caity got a lot of waves tho. She looks good, but raw. Can she win it all?
Campeonato mundial de rasgada. WSL você é uma vergonha!
And it’ll be waist high for the comp
Finally, we might see some waves for an event. It's been a nightmare this season watching good waves right before every event.
$ick🌊🪓... I saw that beautiful nuclear power plant too😘
😂
