A few thoughts on the Medina versus Houshmand series
A first look at the events of the year so far in the CT
Medina: “This is the worst trial I have ever seen in my life”
“I’ve been through several situations of being judged, but I think this is the worst,” she said, adding: “It’s something we have to talk about, we pretend it’s not happening and it is happening.”
Pittar: “I thought he had beaten me, he got the score, I would have given it to him”
The star of the controversial series at Bells believes he lost fairly: “His fluidity is so unmatched that the wave tilted and made some super clean turns”
Brisa advanced and achieved her third fourth place in four events
She will face rookie Sawyer Lindblad in this instance.

“I am neither depressed nor sad, I am not at all, I just need to rest, surf and be happy”
World champion Filipe Toledo explained that he made the decision before entering his series in Pipe, that he does not respond to criticism on social media, that he does not pay attention to it, that now he is going to focus on the Olympic Games and will return recharged in 2025.
Toledo will not compete for the rest of 2024 due to fatigue
“Competing at the highest level over the past decade has taken its toll on me and I need a break to recover for the next chapter of my career,” he said; Boukhiam is now set on the 2024 CT
It's not that way
The strange thing would have been if they didn't criticize the two-time world champion, when what is expected is that he will control himself in the waves; a more reasonable reaction on his part would have been: "I'm going to try hard to improve in those waves" instead of asking people to shut up.
Four points of view on what happened to Filipe Toledo
Two who support them and two who don't: Mike Latronic, Jake Howard, Chas Smith and David Lee Scales
Strider Wasilewski on Toledo: “He needs to get those butterflies out of his stomach”
“I want to see him elevate his game and surf Pipeline the way he can. He has the talent, he just needs to get over the fear factor,” he added.
Filipe did not show up for his series due to food poisoning, the WSL reported.
It sparked a huge controversy on social media; the champion defended himself: “I'm not here to prove anything to you! My health is my priority.”
"Gabriel Medina: If you go, I go," says John John
