There are many nations participating in the Olympics, yet I am a bit frustrated and bored to see that we are always showcasing the same people and the same nations once again, how about the other ones, it would be interesting to know their names and to watch them surfing although they are not as good as a JJ or a Gabriel that we've watched billions of times, no offence!
meh... I expected some surfers from other countries that haven't had as much exposure as the ones shown in the video. mix it up a bit, this is, after all supposed to be The Olympics, not WSL.
@@chriscochrane-m7w the woman surfing for Japan is. She has been out there putting in the time all season. Depending on the draw she could well make the quarters.
@@david-cp2bz it doesn't really matter what he does for money, in Kanoa's case it was a shrewd market decision. Despite being raised in America, he was just another big fish in a big pond, by switching his flag to japan and being japanese he got way more sponsorship opportunities than he would have otherwise and guaranteed his olympic berth for at least 2 olympics. Also I would be hesitant to describe Kanoa as "Core" out of anyone on tour he loves competing the most and would be least likely to keep surfing if there was no money involved. Similarly Erin Brooks, Tatiana, Luana all getting to surf under other flags is trying to escape the competitive monster that is US women's competitive dominance and get their spots for the olympics.
@@david-cp2bz My last job was the golf coach at Carpinteria High School. But I was way better as a volleyball coach and English teacher which I did for 30 years. That was after being a pro beach player.
Thanks to the Tahitians to lend their wave for the Olympics. Respect and love from Lyon.
Even if it's small like this, it's still gonna be a heaps better event than last year. Excited to see some waves!
U mean 2021?
JJF is a magician. That take off!! 0:59
Barrel riding does not get more technical than that, wow.
Crazy to see Felipe's stuntman in that barrel.
Lo acaba de dejar atrás un peruano 🤙😎🇵🇪
Come on now... he's gotten a barrel before. In a wave pool
Felipe is no.1 world champ are you?
Surfing is an amazing sport and it's so great to have in the Olympics.
Nobody cares ...
@cy-villian it doesn't matter, it's still fun to watch 🎉
So proud of you Alan! Go Mexico!🇲🇽
Go John John!! Go for gold!!
01:01 JJF’s wave🤯🔥
GO Team USA! JJF for GOLD!
That's team Hawaii brah.
John the maestro makes it look so easy..
A code red would be amazing for thr Olympics.
Not happening unfortunately
😂
And if my grandmother had 2 wheels she'd be a bicycle. No sense in wondering about what ifs that won't happen.
Then the girls would be out
It's been years I'm saying it, competitors refusing to go because it's too big would be hilarious. But as others stated, it's unlikely.
This is brilliant. Thanks
I was choked about Chianca’s drop.
Same here buddy. That guy is insane!
Wow, showing one wave of Jack and no Ethan. Really generous seppos that run Surfline.
Vamos alan!
Jjfs, kanoa, & shinos barrels 😊 robinson too
this is so sick oh my god
missed Matt McGillivray. so much talent at the Olympics
Surfen befreit die Seele
Nice work drilling in to the reef....
Alan Cleland 🇲🇽 from Tecomán Colima!!!!!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Jao cianca backside Jon Jon forehand for sure the best two waves in the session
JJF will win it. Although, Medina's got a shot, if he can stay out of the air.
Chianca is pretty strong on barrels too
🇧🇷セレソンカラーリングのガブリエル優勝オシャレ！
Where can i watch online?
They gonna score from a boat in the channel? All they’ll see from the inside reef is foam! I hope nobody gets hurt or killed. Gonna be some carnage.
Kanao😍
Connor O'leary: Team Japan
Kioshi Watanabe: Team Ireland
🤣😂🤣
Best preview vídeo to a surf comp .... Why cant wsl do nothing like this?
They do do nothing like this.
John John Florence for the win
If this video was the Olympics, John John wins
What time does this event start for eastern standard time ?
What time does Saturday start when you are on the other side of the world? Did I miss it?
Really ecologically spirit!!!!
Forza leonardoooo
Baby chopes
cant wait to see the chinease taking off on 8 footers lol!
Steep drop, instant barrel, then emerge through the spray...how are they going to pick the winner?
Kauli will walk this and Vahini too

they probably didnt get a wave lol
i love surfing it is my favourite thing I am obsessed!! 🥹
Chianca and JJ charging hardest
You can argue about the tower over the coral reef, but it's still better than the French destroying the area with nuclear tests.
those olympic boardshorts not looking too hot rn
JJF won already with that first wave
Look like the left at Rockies 😂
Griffin Colonpinto wins for USA!!! GOATED
Either Gabriel or Filipe or Chianca. Vai Brasil!!!
USA for gold. Australia for silver and maybe Brazil for bronze if they stop trying to do lame airs
That's solid 2ft in tahitian. Sounds about right.... Das rill smahhh brahhh
After the opening ceremony.... well.... hmmmm...... what the hell did it have to do with sports and unifying people.....
Nul la musique
Olas pequeñas
The slow I is annoying
the surfing vid would be 3-5 secs and u can't see it clearly if its not slowed mygosh 🙄
This year is 50/50 men and women - why is there so much male focus in this video? Would love more screen time for the ladies ripping.
Oh that over forced push to jjf
No problem, he´s NOT gonna win it
haha the two Japanese surfers aren't from there! It's all about making many for the corporations - lame!

Connor and kanoa taking spots from real japanese is wrong@@kyledexheimer6548
What do you do for money? How "core" is it?
@@david-cp2bz it doesn't really matter what he does for money, in Kanoa's case it was a shrewd market decision.
