    Mikey Feb is the only one riding a true twin fin fish. So much respect for that cat.

    Taj was always soo close to a title andi for one would have loved to have seen him do it. I'm not surprised to see him win this. Great comp🎉😊

    Beautiful, big, clean barrels for a surf contest? That's a rarity! 🎉

    Wow this is a sick wave and a beautiful location. 👌
    Who else thinks that this break should be on the WSL tour? 😉🤙

    It's crazy how good surfing competitions can be when surfing is the priority and not profits

      $2,000 US dollars a day for a surf guide at the Four Seasons. Yeah, not profits.

      @@SRFTRD do you, and the 2 geniuses above you, really think the Four Seasons put on this event to make money directly from it? i.e. ticket sales, broadcast contracts, sponsorships? You think that's the Four Seasons' newest business model, surf competitions?

      @@elimonks I think it is their intent to advertise their resort and their wave so people like you who think they’re so nice for putting on such a great event come and spend 15k for a 10 day surf trip. I don’t think that any business is altruistic enough to put on a contest, comp a bunch of pros and their families rooms and dinners, and then feed, and house a production crew just for the good of the sport. I think that is painfully naive. It’s marketing. Do you think that the tourism board of Margaret River just sponsors a tour stop because they’re nice? Do you think that Lexus just sponsors the finals day because they want to see John John and Caity surf? I’ll give you the answer here, money (and the perceived return on investment) is the reason any business does anything.

    I love the mixed equipment concept. FINALLY. Here are a couple more:
    1
    Make everyone ride the same board
    2
    Mixed doubles; bouys and gulls team up for some cut throat competition using all the rules to their advantage.

    February is one of the smoothest surfers out there.

      It’s not that deep. It’s more of a exhibition comp.They’re all sponsored and get to have an expensive stay and chill here in the Maldives. Carissa wouldn’t complain 😂
