Barton Lynch, world champion in 1988, will not be commentating on the remaining tournaments of the 2022 world tour, he announced on his social networks.

In the video he said that after consultations with his fans, he went to ask the WSL if they wanted to have him and they told him he would not be needed this year.

With his long beard and characteristic charm, the Australian said he is excited about what comes next.

Icaro Cavalheiro, who was a professional surfer, then a WSL judge and then a commentator on the live broadcast in Portuguese, said that he had been limited to expressing what he felt in the last two or three years. He preferred to be able to stop clashing with the judges and express himself freely on his YouTube channel.

The world tour is approaching the JBay stage.

Meanwhile, the Ballito challenger is being broadcast by local South Africans.
