The winner of Nixon’s WTA contest gets a pretty swell watch (worth $10k). The prize goes to the man who does the contest’s biggest air. But we’re not really concerned with the prize – what we’re interested in is who’s actually done the best air of the event so far. And in a barrel-centric contest, the options are surprisingly limited. Ze fat lady is yet to sing, but here’s what’s been clocked so far. Who do you think has done the best (not necessarily biggest) air so far? Pick apart meticulously, and tell us why.
Who owns Rio’s best air?

Mick’s oop – ’cause he can’t do airs but is still willing to embarass himself in front of everyone.

Either John John’s backside loop in the final, or Jordy’s in here – so much power and control, and how fast was it!

Yes, we a have bigger economy than yours, you fuck head. Plus one of the worst wealthy distribution in the world. So everyone here in this website can buy your mother and your little sister plus getting a aussie maid(in this case, you) for free.

Kerr backside Indy air reverse, or JJ’s backside air reverse in the final…Kerr’s was super technical but JJ’s was BIG and no grab, tough call

Get fucked @To comment 22, you guys probably sell rice, guns or kidneys. You don’t have proper grammar, so learn to speak a proper language and get then comment. How the hell do you think you could buy my mother and little sister? We don’t sell our kin for money over here, we have dignity and morals.

Still it doesnt change the fact that I can buy your life. Dont dare to talk about money with a brazilian. Do you know why we populate the line ups all over the world? Counting off the WT guys, surf in brazil is an elite sport. Every brazzo in this website can buy your dignity for a really cheap price. Plus, buy your mother and sister as well.

Just wondering what you’d do with our dignity once you bought it? cos by the sounds of things you’d have no clue.
cmon guy…. paddle down the beach and dominate the learners already.
