John’s Oop And The Polarising Nature Of The Mid-Wave Claim

John Florence digs them, Jordy Smith is a regular practitioner, but for others, including Sebastian ‘Sea Bass’ Zietz, the mid-wave claim is a “no go.” They were a common occurrence during this year’s Rip Curl Pro, perhaps it’s the longer ride, the ability to earn an excellent score before the wave fumbles into the Bells Beach shore break? Something to kick an extra half point on the board? Either way, celebrating half way through a scoring ride is a topical point in this latest release of Tournotes. The episode follows the usual format, an exclusive pass into the competitor’s area with eventual bell ringer, Jordy Smith, runner-up, Caio Ibelli, JJF and coach Ross Williams, Mick Fanning, Carissa Moore, Joel Parkinson, Julian Wilson, Jack Freestone, Michel Bourez and more.
