I believe that Rio had the best wave of the heat.

Think its more like Griff got overscored a point on these waves, the first 8 compared Rio's 6 doesn't make any sense at all, that exchange was much closer, Griff definitely had the edge but this heat should have been a lot closer.

Rio severely underscored

Griff gets an 8 while Rio gets a 6? Daylight robbery

As a surfer since the late 80’s gotta say the judging in this comp has thrown me a few times.

Jesus. WSL is killing the sport!

Ofcourse, he is the man, with a backbone, not like that bending wsl call girl laura enever who tried to manipulate public opinion with her scripted interview but Medina didnt have any of that and he called her out as a wsl prostitute and the rest of organisation .

Rio was MASSIVELY underscored....but Griffin probably still won

Griff definitely won, but a great example of when one of these guys needs to sit down with the coach and judges to go through the reasoning for the low score on what looked like a much better ride than the score he got. Rio will have to ask to figure what he has to do.

Feel bad for Rio , too underscored when they do breakdown between 3rd wave of Griffin and 8th wave of Rio 😰

Rio's first wave compared to Griff 2 points less? WOW. And on it went. Sorry Rio

Rio underscored , the judging this year was horrendous

Rios first wave looked better and he scored 2points less????😮

Yes true so sad same wave and technique but much deference score 🥲

I love Griffin, super nice dude and great surfer, but 8 pt for his first ride is ridiculous especially if compared to Rio's first wave.

Even the commentators thought rios last wave was over an 8...

rio's final score was easily the best wave of the heat

Rio was grossly underscored! Even the commentators couldn't believe the low scores he got!

How do you score Rio wave a 6 , I don’t get it HOWWWW???????

It’s even worse when you know they compare waves so they should have compared it to that mediocre 8 so objectively should be at least high 8 or 9 for Rio

Griffin sniffs and gets an 8, the WSL is carrying him hard

Rio had the best wave of the heat. I think that if the commentators were not employed by the WSL therefore not afraid of calling out bad scores then the judging would improve in time. They are great commentators but too scared to call a bad score a bad score. No other live sports have commentators employed by the governing body that I know of

Rio was competing against the San Clemente factor (whom ever the San Clemente surfer is, add 2 points) . Last year Felipe was the golden boy, now it's the new SC crew.

i think griffin 1st wave should have been a 10pts ride and his 2nd a 12.50pts at least. this kid has been ripping this english onshore 2ft beachbreak ! wow can't wait for the next events ! why going to Indo, Jbay, or hossegor in the right season when we can score so many 2/3footers onshore waves?? It's like watching some actions at my local beach in random spring time afternoon after a 2weeks flat forecast ! love it keept it up

sorry, what? how did Rio get a 6 when Griff got an 8 in the first exchange... that's WAY off.

Griff...the anointed one. (aka...another rigged heat)

Griffins’s 7.33 was MUCH better than his 8 point ride. And Rio’s 7.60 was so underscored

Wow… C’mon… Fait is Fair… going to see if they use these judges in WA… this has been really disturbing… Really bad actually…all sports suffer like this…

Yep bring on WA for some real raw power waves that Rio loves and hope they can score better

Watching every round of the WSL on KZread (which is awesome, thank you) and generally being a positive person, I'm afraid, in my humble opinion, I get the feeling the WSL is finally going the way of other sports... even the commentators' language, in all events this year, feels like it is an indicator of a pre-programned outcome..bigging up specific riders while diminishing others... It's truly sad that if true, money is now affecting the outcomes of the one sport I never thought it would... and with the greatest respect, to all the organisers, commentators, riders, and fellow ocean lovers... I hope that I'm misreading all this and I'm wrong. Just doesn't feel this way....

Man, both are ripping hard!! Rio Speed power flow are amazing!

Fully over it, just blowing smoke up the yellow jersey thanks WSL

HAHAHAHAHAHA EVEN THE COMENTATORS ARE IN DISBELIEF

So good ❤

I thought Rio won this heat. Better luck next time Rio.

What did I just watch? That was a slug fest. What a great heat and both those surfers brought back surfing. Griffin was on another planet, I could watch him all day.

6 na onda waida! 😂

Judging sux.. but shout out to camera people for great coverage.. congratulations Griff

WTF? RIO SHOULD WIN THIS HEAT

8 for that first wave??? kiddingme

that first exchange said everything. Rio had to do a triple aerial in order to get an 8😂

Wow, griff rly went hard!!

CONTINUA A PASSADA DE MÃO NOS ATLETAS QUE NÃO SÃO DA LAIA DELES 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Os cara meteu a mão novamente !!!

impressionante o quanto a WSL está forçando para o Pinto, 2 pontos a menos para o Rio naquela onda foi brincadeira.

I had, Griff to win before the heat! Big fun crumble San Clemente Shredder's at The Iconic Bell's Beach! Griff's progressive smooth flowing attack guaranteed! Griffin delivered man, Totally, Awesome flash performance with very little smash first couple waves. Waida totally ripped! The wow factor was in from the start! Speed section 3 banging foam climbs, with rhythm & tempo for starters. Just saying that Rio Totally Ripped with rail progression and generated alot of power, He made holes in today's waves.

Wow!! Griff got the W within 10 minutes 😮

Quite buttery Mr Cola

Na minha opinião Rio ganhou com a melhor onda da bateria

Worst judging again. Shame on you…

Griff clearly won with his power, flow and control; also his wave selection was better. Rio just looks a bit weak; Arms flailing and fins sliding a bit too much… maybe his board needs a few more liters. Probably he just needs to mature a bit more. All n all this is the best surfing I’ve see from him so far.

It's shameful to see this judgment from the WSL. Rio didn't deserve to be so undervalued.

Rio’s first score is 6.0 !? No way !! That’s 8.0 or it’more !!

Wtf is wrong with wsl judges

All wave from rio was underscored e all waves from Griffin was overscored

Colapinto won the heat but Rio got underscored.

How come judges give an excellent score for Griffin's layback and a mid 6 for Medina's full ro? Both wrestled with the white water to complete the maneuver, but it's a layback and a full rotation...

Rio fitted in the moves on his come-back wave but the in between flow definitely lacked. Way not as seamless with Cola, who had the moves too.

A wsl sempre puxou saco do grife

Boring waves

How was Griff's first wave a 8 and Rio's a 6? Eish

Rio's second wave better then griffins first IMO

Because his name is Rio*.. too Brazilian... 2 points down each and every wave.. 😂

Go Griff!!!

surf anos 80 e ainda perderia

WSL is a shame!!! Should call ir American tour!

Rio just ripped and think he got ripped a few points here and there but hey there is always the next one and better waves south west WA GO RIO the Keramas lads are with ya all the way👍

The scoring system is getting dumb and dumber.

Rigged to the gills
