A few mis-scores but i feel this was the best judged event in a long time. JJF and Yago were both monsters. JJF clearly won the heat and the event. Good job by all, and on to Brazil!
Congratulations, John John, impressive surfing as usual & some great back hand surfing by Yago! Some stunning videography here too, the drone, slow-mo & land based; thoroughly enjoyed your El Salvador surf champs!
Dont be cheap Kaipo, be trully fair and say EXEPTIONAL SURFING , even louder for Yago Dora , all through out the contest , especially for being on the backhand, matched and even outshine any regular foot including your boy, your milking cow , JJ . Therefore the true Chapion of the contest ! Congratulation Yago Dora for amazing performance and a class act ! 💯
It's so unfortunate that this was only half a heat. It might not be the most fair, but they should really consider extending heats, at least past the quarter finals, if a wave hasn't come through in over 15 minutes.
Jon Jon had to be Brazilian, he surfs like a Brazilian, always thinking about the air ... We Brazilians love Jon Jon because he surfs like us ... Congratulations Yago Dora !!!
Jhon manda uma rasgada e um aérea. Tira 8.50! Yago manda 6 rasgada e um aéreo. Tira 9.70 só eu acho que as notas desse branquelo são super faturadas? Porque nos poupam e entregam logo o troféu para jhon ?
Unfortunate lull at the end of this heat, but it finally favoured John he has been in Yago's position so many times this season not getting a chance to back up and excellent score. They both did amazing and deserved to be there, hard work finally pays off for John.
Glad to not see people in the comments calling things robbery for once, event was well judged and wel surfed. Happy for John John, he definitely deserves one after the J Bay shenanigans last year
Truth be told, judging was pretty much spot on the whole event. Congrats to JJ who advanced every heat comfortably and was clearly the most inform surfer.
I am brazilan, but I am very happy for JJF. He deserved to win and this event was very well judge. I always want the best surfer, with the best performance to win. It doesnt matter its flag. What is said is when someone deservea to win and is robbed by the judges. So far, JJF deserves to be World Champ
Exactly, no question the 2 surfers in the final were the 2 best surfers of the event. Great surfing by both. Damn good to see JJF get a win after making 4 finals this year so far. Yago went absolutely ballistic!
sou fã do jjf . surfa demais. infelizmente ..quando ele o Gabriel parar..o surf vai perder 2 dos mais talentosos surfistas que já existiu...parabéns ao Yago..outro monstro.
So happy for JJ such a great champ and a solid guy not taking things for granted, focused on family and what makes him happy. Love watching him surf. There is nobody I like to see win more.
I watched the whole event, did the judges change the criteria for the finals, both JJ and Yago’s high scores were over scored compared to the rest of the event. Congratulations JJ
Nah, It was pretty fair, Yago did a lot of well done manouvers and finished It off with an incredible air. Meanwhile, John's 8,5 consisted of one great manouver and a good air, so If Yago was overscored, John John was as well. I'd say both scores were fair, but John's wave could have been an 8.
I thought 9-9.25 but definitely a better scoring wave with a few more rips and capped of with a fantastic air. JJF air was better but Jago with more shreds and a full air is without a doubt a higher scoring wave than JJF best.
JJF ripping, Yago’s wave should’ve been a 10. Great final…..WSL still sucks though, worst era in the history of pro surfing. Who’s running this crap show anyways?
Florence is already at 41k, the 2nd in the ranking he's at 30k. He should win this championship tour this year by ranking, not with the stupid ''top five'' finals event.
JJF só ganhou pq o Dora errou na segunda onda, fez uma leitura equivocada, tanto que na onda seguinte ele consertou esse erro ( onda 9.77 ) que ao meu ver era um 10... Se ele não errasse na segunda onda ia ficar difícil pro JJF ganhar do Dora. Faltou um pouco de concentração do Dora nessa final e também as seres estavam demoradas.
Incredibly aggressive surfing by both. Half a heat of waves and they still made it look like a full heat and then some. By far the best heat of the comp. This is gop flight elite level surfing here. Yago proves he is in the top few truly elite comp surfers. So many softies in comp but Yago is a beast. JJF riding same aggressive. Both put it all out there to either win or lose. This is what separates the best from the rest. People saying bad luck for Yago because of the lull. But you did not say bad luck for JJF who could have had more chances too. I say bad luck for us viewers because had it been a full heat of waves, it could go down as one of the best ever.
No holds barred, nobody playing safe, that was an equal throwdown! Glad for John, I really hope he takes it this year, but I have to mention that Yago's surfing at Teahupoo was some of my favorite ever.
I generally hate when surfers claim and ask judges for scores, its super cringey, but when JJ claimed that Ali oop in the semi final I confess I held a grin for some minutes. Well done Double J !!! now how about that carving 360 you have yet to do ? 😃
Whoa! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that barking growl when Yago didn't land his air? That was hilarious as fug😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the rebuttal "WHOA! What kinda....🙄 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WATCH EM! 1:40
Was pretty stoked just caught the end of the final. since last year at bells when I said “johns looking to win this thing” I’ve been excited to see him win
This one JJF slid by with a 50/50 decision but, no one seems to speak about JJF's biggest wave of the heat that came with 20 seconds left. JJF already knew he won or he would not have gone for any air just after the take-off. He would have ridden it as usual going for a simple 7 or so. Then again, he could have flopped on it and gotten a low score. We cannot know anything but that he knew he had won and even Perez seemed to be finished not riding the back wave of the set much. Imho. Was rigged and both knew it. Perez happy with cash paid to lose to a surfer that should normally dominate him. Drinking beers together later....
Why are you watching then? Not sure why people like you are here whining about things you think are "bogus". Or is this just the type of person you are? Like, you do this on every youtube video you watch....trying to make yourself feel cool because you think you're being all "critical" and edgy.
Fiz os cálculos com Medina chegando nas finais ficando em 2° lugar(8000p) no mínimo, em Portugal, Bells e Margaret(etapas garfadas) estaria com 26950p em 5° colado no 4° Ethan(que já foi ajudado a não ter saído cedo de certas etapas) e JJF estaria com 36885p e não 41465p se não tivesse "passado" por Medina em Margaret e sem contar as outras ajudas que já teve no ano. 🍴🤡🔪🤮
Airs and massive turns with style. That was sick John and Yago
A few mis-scores but i feel this was the best judged event in a long time. JJF and Yago were both monsters. JJF clearly won the heat and the event. Good job by all, and on to Brazil!
Agreed.
Lucky jhon there was not enough waves, luck jhon

Awesome surfing from both this whole event so anyone deserved it. Its just a bummer the ocean went quiet for the last 15 minutes
Congrats John John, the 4th is a charm! Happy for you and the 50th state celebrates with you!!!
John should have won Tahiti too
i think its fair that they gave italo the win. im really glad john won el salvador though. he hasn't won a ct since i started wathcing in 2022
Great show, great performances and great judging, congrats to all!👏

Yago so unlucky, not a single wave after his huge score. Over 15 minutes and nothing
It's so unfortunate that this was only half a heat. It might not be the most fair, but they should really consider extending heats, at least past the quarter finals, if a wave hasn't come through in over 15 minutes.
True. Unlucky, because it could've been one of those legendary heats...it almost was. Effin brilliant
Do you guys think John is gonna be world champ? #Medina10
No.
Yes.
I suppose Martin Potter isn't around anymore because he didn't roll his "r's"? Unforgivable!
I’m glad the judges are starting to come correct
Jon Jon had to be Brazilian, he surfs like a Brazilian, always thinking about the air ... We Brazilians love Jon Jon because he surfs like us ... Congratulations Yago Dora !!!
Pretty sure he’s a Viking. Though I see your point.
Brazilians are like Hawaiians brah, why we always argue
@@roguebossa Among the best in the world are: 11 Brazilians and 2 Hawaiians ...
John Jon surfs like us 😂😂😂no John is in his own league ..
@@markpuebla8022 Jon Jon is in the league where there will always be a Brazilian in the Final ...
I´m Brazilian, and bored, because we are going to the worst event on tour...Brazil should go away from tour...
JJF the best
9.77??? I don't think so. Maybe an 8 but not a nearly perfect wave. Ok high 8
and 8.5 JJF ? What do you thing ?? Kkkkk
Yago 9-9.25 is very fair. Or if 9.77, JJF should have a 9.
Jhon manda uma rasgada e um aérea. Tira 8.50! Yago manda 6 rasgada e um aéreo. Tira 9.70 só eu acho que as notas desse branquelo são super faturadas? Porque nos poupam e entregam logo o troféu para jhon ?
uma rasgadaõ
Looks like the Mother nature rewarded JJF after 3 losses this year. 4 finals in 7 events, insane consistency.
He had help in other stages this year. excellent surfer but always overvalued.
John John is just an amazing surfer and always so humble. So happy and stoked for him!

amazing that john won! hopefull he can win the world title as well.
Dora was great
O Yago, o chianca e o J.J tem o surf mais bonito da competição! Parabéns J.J surfou muito!👏👏😎

Bummer the ocean decided to just poop all over the second half of the final😕
Good judgment on these. Watching this level of surfing was awesome. Both pushing eachother sooo hard
Yay JJF! So stoked for you! I’m rooting for you !
I am very happy the announcer specified which board JJF is riding as now I/ we can buy it then surf like JJF 😅🤣
JJF ALL DAY!!
Yago was firing too!!
super sick to see. congratz JJ and Yago
Fair win for sure. I was hoping for Yago but he ran outta time for sure
For sure
Incredible... Both JJF & Yago= str8 poetry on water...
well deserved 9.77 by Yago😁✌🏾🇿🇦
So happy for JJ such a great champ and a solid guy not taking things for granted, focused on family and what makes him happy. Love watching him surf. There is nobody I like to see win more.
I watched the whole event, did the judges change the criteria for the finals, both JJ and Yago’s high scores were over scored compared to the rest of the event. Congratulations JJ
It doesn't matter as long as the scores are consistent within the heat. Comparing one heat score to another is meaningless anyway.
Yago was unlucky. First the board crash and then the last 12 minutes in which he needs only 6,56 with no waves at all
Heat of the year 🥇🥇🥇🏄🏄♀️🔥🔥
What the women's semi in Tahiti?
World class wave and excellent surfing! Salvadorans awesome job! Aloha from westside Oahu, Hawaii! JJF ..... cheeeeehuuuuu!
Gonna be so interesting to see if John can win when it really counts - at 2-4ft Trestles
That hurts us all brah
Yago's 9.77 was overscored I'm sorry. Aint no way that wave was 0.23 short of being a perfect wave. An 8.50 to 9 is what it should of been.
i think low 9s. i think it deserved a higher score than johns 8.5 but 9.77 was higher than what i was expecting.
Agree about a 9-9.25 and had Yago got another it may have been the difference at nearly 10 vs 9-9.25 but it ended as it did. No harm done.
Nah, It was pretty fair, Yago did a lot of well done manouvers and finished It off with an incredible air. Meanwhile, John's 8,5 consisted of one great manouver and a good air, so If Yago was overscored, John John was as well. I'd say both scores were fair, but John's wave could have been an 8.
@@amadeocuervoadami1311 Yagos wave was tiny. Don't be stupid
Fair play
Would have loved to see another set in the end...
Would it not be great if they could get another 10 min if there are no opportunities?
Compare Yago's 9.77 to John's 8.5 .
WSL crap judges over scored Yago , his 9.7 was no better than John's 8.5.
Yago's wave was small , John's was big.
I thought 9-9.25 but definitely a better scoring wave with a few more rips and capped of with a fantastic air. JJF air was better but Jago with more shreds and a full air is without a doubt a higher scoring wave than JJF best.
i miss my toxic livechat ...
YaaaaGoooooooooooo!

both amazing surfers🤙
JJF and Yago surfed amazing!! Fun to watch, I would be happy if i got my board in the air for a split second 😂🤙
5, 6 backside, mais um aéreo sem as maos, e um 9,77??? O que o cara precisa pra ganhar 10, nao sendo americano, hawaiano ou australiano?
Congrats to the Champ and the Man.
The question is, will he retire if he wins it all this season!?!? Or W as long as he’s able to! 🤔😅😮💨
Very unfortunate for Yago, he surfed his ahh off. Jj world champ for sure
JJ🤪🤪🤪
Fuk the final 5 public hates it fact . Double j congrats.
What a show❤Congrats JJF and Yago🤘🙂↕️
john john Florence 3x world title champ 2024
U dont get points for claiming Yago...glad u lost. 9.77 was overscored
Three rotations on a smaller wave. Yes, I agree it was not a 9+ ride.
Happy for John John, he definitely deserves one after the J Bay shenanigans last year
Hard to judge waves when one guy is 6' 4" and the other 5' 2"
What a battle. These guys are definitely the tops in the world
Amazing surfing!
The sea gods with John John in the final.
Jj e Gabriel está nunha liga superior o resto
