    he got juiced on that last wave too. I cannot believe Taj's wave was a 5.93 for a check turn and a floater. Wilko NAILED that second turn and did a better first turn....

    Oh well.

    Yeah I thought he had it too. I reckon if the wave shouldered off and he had kicked out instead of falling on the closeout hit they'd probably have given him the score.

    Yeah. Taj had one really good turn in the final, but both waves compared Wilko had the nudge from me. Lets not even start on Portugal!

    yeah been a tough year in my opinion for judges.

    how on earth did dusty not beat slater with that air??

    If slater does that air or Parko, Dane etc throws it down, 9.5. the judges get giddy for the big names...

    Yeah I didn't see that heat live, so not in the context of the heat but it was a nuts air. They seem to go hot and cold on how they score these one big move waves. Usually hot for the big names like you said.
