Gabriel Medina discusses the Glenn Hall Interference

By now, you’re well aware of what went down in Gabriel Medina and Glenn Hall’s heat yesterday, and more famously what went down afterwards. Because Internet, things echoed a little louder than they should’ve. But such is 2015, and whatcha gon’ do? Anyhow, this morning Gabriel appeared on The Morning Show to clear the smoke a little and discuss the post-heat interview that could. Without Gabs (and Freddy P), the most interesting thing to happen yesterday would’ve been… really good surfers milking two foot waves. Instead, we got some unscripted passion and entertainment. And, to put it plainly, Gabs’ explanation of it all is excellent. He’s realistic, puts things in good perspective, and sticks to his guns in a subtle way, but acknowledges that he could’ve expressed his frustration more tastefully. He even threw in a gag! (101 of public speaking): “Next time I’ll try to punch my board (instead).” Anyways, watch above. Bravo, Gabs.
