When you take a look at the previous events at threstles, the level and style of the new generation made such a jump forward compared to the older guys. Unbeleavable !
Damn, this was awesome. The commentators had great energy. Sounded like race car announcers at times. The surfing was gnarly bc you could feel the aggression and how charged everyone was. Cool to see some of the big names who are still in the surfing world today. Didn’t realize Reyna from Firewire was such a ripper back in the day. I wonder how big Llamas was, he looked huge. Not many big guys can surf like that. Not crazy about his style tho. Surfed like a cross between Occy and a Silverback. And Slater. . . Holy shit he just had such a good grasp of his body in the water. Fun to see these old clips
Wow that was fun to watch…but…todays moves are so much more dynamic…it must be the boards because these guys, Llamas not so much, are super fit and young…
It's nice to be reminded just how much Chris Brown ripped! May he be shredding it up in Heaven.

Definitely
PT winning the commentary heat
Really...I get annoyed by his over the top calls..
The progression in surfing from the 89 contest to this one is pretty substantial. Kelly brought contest surfing to a whole other level.
Love the energy of the commentators
Good choice on the star trunks, Kelly.
This Slater kid looks like he got potential
Awesome.
Thanks for posting 🙏

These two commenting almost glued to each other, funny
Thanks for the video. Do you have the 1989 Body Glove Surf Bout won by CF?
Slates 🔥
Chris Brown wraps it around
YEEEW!!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
What is a tailblock stall? I am 49 and surfed for 35 years and never heard of a tailblock stall.
tail block pads were pretty common in the 80's
Kel-lay FTW 😂
Christian fletch in 89 way more interesting
What's the band at 10:48 ?
Heart "Theres the girl"
@@williammlanfrank2476 Thank you. I found it too. What a tune that is... It's so 80s.
I'd say PT was on Coke 😂😂😂
or stoke!
@@overheadunlimited were stoked as surfers! That was a bit extra!!!
Film strip ++- X-ray (tax)!
I’m not saying I could surf those boards any better but does the arm flapping help?
