Are you kidding me WSL? Pittar won the heat. WORLD SHAME LEAGUE

I’m a big fan of Ethan’s surfing, never seen George before, he definitely won this heat.

Close heat, but I think George got this one

Judges are tripping... I have never seen such inconsistent and bad judging before. I mean you cannot get every heat right but this is completely ridiculous judging in at least 5 heats in two days!

I stopped watching immediately after the heat because I was bummed Ethan didn't get the score. Was so surprised when I found out he actually did get the score. Now I feel awful for Pittar....WSL you need to put in a appeal system if a opponent feels hard done by. Lots of sports use this system.

Appealing is suggesting that the judges fkd up though and that they need to rescore, which I am not sure they would be too keen on 😄

Pittar won the heat. Ethan - The darling of the WSL

A bateria mais absurda do ano, que bosta

Why doesn't WSL finishes that contest and give the trophy to Ethan once and for all like they did last year?

Ethan my no.1 but he didn't win that heat. Sorry George judge's done you dirty!

there is something fundamentally wrong with the way scores are being given. this is a consistent issue that seems to be getting worse. I feel like you guys should give us clarity on how the judges make these dicisions and show them discussing and giving scores.

THANK YOU!!! It's already past the time... Unfortunately in surfing, subjectivity will always be presente, which opens the door for things like this happening. But it's getting worse and more frequent.... For example, nothing stops me now to believe that there COULD BE an agenda for Ewing to be in the Top 5 🤷🏽‍♂️ See? There has to be something about clarifying the way of thinking, the criterias that will be considered more that day, the head judge explaining the scores in close heats and "buzzer-beating" waves... It's their credibility on stake. I don't know how in 2024, we are still at this point... Surfing is more professional that has ever been, surfing now is in the Olympics, and WSL still maintain actions that raise doubts about the integrity of competition.

That's insane! As so many people have said, I'm also a fan of Ethan's, would love to see him ring the bell again - but George won this heat! No way Ethan's last wave was enough! The judges are tripping. Wild 😮.

Ummmm that was almost criminal...

Wait WHAT!!!! Lmao. I’m not even one of those people that tries to gang up wsl judges but wtf is that result. I feel sorry for George, even though I wasn’t rooting for him

Ok, I didn't see the heat live, and I just watched the replay on my break. I felt for sure Ethan got eliminated by the look of the last ride. Completely surprised that he got the score! George ripped that heat then got robbed before he got to the carpark

Absurd outcomes like this are inhibiting the growth of surfing as a professional sport. Fans aren’t dumb. Everyone saw Ewing get outsurfed.

So WSL can you tell us directly Who is going to Win the event so we don't have to watch these rounds ??

I iwsh the commentators had any spine to actually call out how crap this was. I feel bad for Ethan as well, because he didnt ask for this

I felt like George waves were a bit overscored overall. But when it comes to Ethan's the last wave I never tought he'd get the score 🧐

I watched this heat in a canteen with the sound off.I thought George won.Then I watched the heat (with audio)and the commentators thought George won. But the Judges gave the win to Ethan? Bigger wave,better finishing move in a critical section.What did George do wrong WSL?

Now the world knows how Brazilians feel robbed many many times. Do you remember the last Surf Ranch?

George won, but the judges did everything for Etha to win. Congratulations George Pittar.

George got a bigger set last wave and did the more critical turns v Ewing smooths smaller wave punctuated by carves and much smaller last turn. This is where its blatant. The commentators never say anything and they even went off early confidently saying George won.

How is wsl effing up SO many heats. Its unreal how blatantly biased these scores are… Ive always been a fan of Ethan, but his last wave was a 5.5 at BEST

I’ve been such a fan of George over the last year. I wasn’t sure if I was just being bias thinking he got robbed. So disappointing for a an up and comer but he’s definitely got a big future ahead of him

They decided they wanted Ethan to win so gave him an undeserved score. George clearly won

Robbed

Bro george pittar won he had more spray more speed cleaner rails less late to the lip and he had such good flow ethan is raw but george is better in this hest

If Pittar was on that Last Wave and Surfed it Identically, There is No Way He would have Got the Number Ewing was Gifted.. It was an Amazing Upset that Didn’t Happen!!!

I REALLY like how this George guy surfed every heat, definitely crushes when he gets his opportunities. Ethan just had that extra bit of power and drive in his turns. Super close, here...can't be upset either way...

I'm a surfer who admires Ethan's style, but I really thought George won this heat, and didn't even find it close. There are specific, nuanced criteria that judges look for that might not be immediately obvious. If these justify the outcome, I'd like an explanation. Moreover, if explaining this can help many people understand and provide insights to a broad range of everyday surfers, then it's something that should definitely be done. Proceeding without any detailed explanation as to why Ethan advanced feels very unsettling.

I feel sorry for George Pittar. He surfed incredibly well. The last Ethan's score was at least embarrassing to watch.

That last ride was definitely overscored

Dejavú…brought me back last year’s Medina v.s. Ethan at Kelly’s pool. It’s recurring. His victory at Bells last year was undeserved as well. To be followed…more to come.

Wish WSL scored J Wilson like EE, felt like Wilson whole tour career was full of heats like this one 🤦🏽

That’s brutal ! Ewing sorry didn’t win that . WSL judges this is happening way too much. I’ve been a coach Judge since the internet started streaming comps . I have credentials .

Here ago again. Well done wsl Congrats Geoge!

biggest robbery ive ever seen

I am a huge fan of Ewing but I don't think he won that heat. They really over scored him on that last wave. Tough loss for Pittar. I am going to go back and watch the heat to see if Ewing's last wave score was deserved. Watching it live I didn't think it would be more than 5.5. Edit: I rewatched Ewing's last wave a few times. Great rail work but it just didn't seem like it should have received the score it did. Hopefully Pittar gets on the tour full time because he definitely can compete with the heavy hitters.

World shame league once again showing its anti Australian bias (that’s twice today) by underscoring George.

George absolutely won this, and the WSL makes me sick these days! It's worse than the NBA, or perhaps even the WWF. It's gone political. It's gone completely corporate. It's done!

Big fan of Ethan, but watched it 50 times, still the same feeling that George should have won. Scoring being weird, there is something wrong in judging the balance of speed/power/flow

Ethan surf in a much more polished way with cleaner rails for sure.

Polished!? Yeah, absolutely. But he lacks progression and variety. His surfing is beautifully dull. Through back to the 70’s. Great to watch, up to the second wave…then it gets so predictable.

George won that in my old sea dog eyes

This heat was strange. I feel like Ethan's 6.50 was underscored and his buzzer beater wave was overscored. George on the other hand was scored inconsistently as well. The WSL really needs to fix their judging from now on. But i really think Ethan won this heat but not too far.

This judging reminds me of the surf ranch event last year.

You know if you watch all the waves that were scored 6+ a couple of times there really isn't much in them, George gets 6.9 for three moves, a good finishing move, Ethan gets 6.2 for four moves (arguably better cut backs), ok finishing move. Its not as dire as people are making out.

I think the judges realized they over scored Georges 6.9 when they looked back at Ewing's high score and saw that his wave was as good if not better, so they gave him a bump on his last wave. That happens from time to time, too bad the kooks in the comments can't figure that out. Ewings surfing reminds me of Parkos, almost too smooth for competition, makes everything look too easy.

Shame on you WSL. I guess you guys have your New Champion. Pittar got his lesson, the WSL rules.

I watch WSL like I watch the X Games. Enjoy the spectacle and ignore the results.

Jack should have won his heat and unfortunately Ethan should not have. George is a stud. Very promising future. Another lil fanning spawn from aus

Ethan is a beautiful surfer but he is regulary overscorred IMO

Once more, the WSL's credibility is plummeting... not even Ewing himself believed he won this one

Even the commentator said that was a wrap giving George the win after seeing Ethan’s wave. Another repeat of last year

I don't understand why some surfers appear to be favored over others in this league. Ethan clearly lost this heat. And if you pay attention to Medina's scores, for example, they are always below expectations.

eu acompanho o surf a 14 anos realmente eu amo esse esporte, mias a wsl está acabando com o nosso surf, eu não consigo acompanhar mais os campeonatos, me da vergonha!

Watching Ethan winning those heats made me realize that Mick Fanning and Taylor Knox could have a tittle shot nowadays

What is going on? Ewing hasn’t beat that scores.

People after years of bad judgment are now discovering that the judges favor aussies and californians surfers. And it’s not because I’m brazillian. JJF suffer with these “bad judgments” too.

George got screwed in Round 1 heat as well... He got a 3 something on a perfectly surfed wave and I turned it off....

Sketchy call from the judges

Once again the judges providing Ewin's victory. I guess it goes on till they make him a world champ. Nothing against Ethan. But it was clearly an unfair judgment - World Shame League

Ethan always gets overscored a point or so higher and his competitors get underscored a point or two. Same goes for colapinto, griff gets consistently overscored whilst his competitors are underscored

George definitely won this heat.

Idk I kind of feel Like Pittars scores were too high as well. 6.9 for Pittars was too high I think.

Depois não entendem o motivo da wsl nao dar lucro. Quem começa acompanhar o esporte, quando percebe essas situaçoes forçadas, desanimam na hora de acompanhar. Amadores em niveis estratosféricos. Quem vai levar a sério uma companhia que faz esse tipo de coisa?

There was know way in hell Ethan deserved that score on his last wave. George was robbed( I’m South African and a Ethan fan)

6.43 😮😮😮

Pretty even Steven’s I reckon.. Ethan’s turns are way more powerful and stylish.. both had flow.. anybodies heat…

In addition to the judges , feels like commentators are not allowed to give their opinion on the score which is unheard of in any other sport. What’s wrong with them giving their honest opinion politely ?

WSL, get your s*it together! We want to see fair judging.

Ethan fr one of WSLs protecteds

Credibility WSL.

It's a shame. Last Ewing's wave was very small and flat with no big turns at all. It deserves a 5.5 not more. I don't know at all George Pittar and I love Ewing carve style but that heat result clearly shows to the world how WSL is overscoring Big name with Big sponsor. 🤑🤢

I'm with everyone else. Love Ethan. First time I've really watched George but he won the heat. He was genuinely ripped off here. Send those judges home, they should be ashamed. F.. embarrassing that result.

Horrible call. Someone on the panel had a bet to win. Sad day for the wildcard.

that result is messed up!!

WSL and its darlings! George was left wondering: What?

E did 4 good turns

Betting on surfing with results like that! Load up on the underdog and get played like a fool…

Wtf ,love ethan but this time the wsl is going to far ,compare the last wave with the others and its not even close to the score he needs ,its a shame .

???

Aqui no Brasil. Chamamos essa bateria de garfada no queixo!😅

ethan definitely won this. his style is just better, hes controlling the wave, where as george looks like the wave is controlling him

Ethan is a great surfer, but the amount of overscoring he gets on tour is unreal. If George were Brazilian you would be agreeing with his victory even though he wasn't.

I don't understand how the WSL works. First of all the mid season cut is a ridiculous idea, the judging is really questionable at the moment and generally the decision making is poor. Surely they can have a sit down and re-think everything... At this rate people are going to stop supporting the tour and surfers are going to find other tours to join..

Geez be careful the highway men are out

World Shame League building "new champions"

Feels bad for George 😢

George Pittar won by far. Shame on WSL.

Pittar won the HEAT!!!

no no, it was George who won

what???? no way
